Must Watch, Must Read - Lucy Garvie

Favourite Book : The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini (2003)

This story follows the character Amir and is mainly set within Kabul, Afghanistan. I love novels that have a historical context, and the author’s descriptive writing makes the book come to life. It begins by recalling his comfortable life in Kabul as a young boy and focuses upon the relationship with his Father, Baba and his servant but also his best friend, Hassan. The story follows the deterioration of Amir and Hassan’s friendship due to the inability of Amir to save him in an act of cowardice. The novel closes with Amir seeking redemption through rescuing Hassan’s son, Sohrab. Although this novel portrays the brutality of human relationships, I find this novel thought provoking and universal.

Favourite Film : Romeo and Juliet  by Baz Luhrmann

This film is based upon the classic love story, and I’m a big fan of a good romantic movie. The lead role is played by Leonardo di Caprio, which makes the decision easier too! However, it is the distinctive style of Baz Luhrmann that makes this film my all time favourite. His use of cinematic production to capture the theatrical aspects of what was originally written to be performed upon the stage sets this film apart from the rest. I think it’s a style that you either love or hate, but I’ve enjoyed his other films such as his adaptations of both Moulin Rouge and more recently, Great Gatsby. For me, it’s no wonder why Baz Luhrmann has been called upon to reproduce these classic stories.

Favourite Film : The Lord of The Rings 
(All 3 but mostly Two Towers) is everything I could ever want in a film. I'm a nerd I know. It's fantasy, it's funny, it's sad. He created a whole new world, well, worlds. I like movies that take me somewhere different. I like movies that teach me something, and movies where I can see character development. This movie has all of those things. The story is beyond brilliant, interesting and mesmerizing! I think the story at the core is about power, and how it can effect people's personalities, actions etc. What's also amazing about LOTR is the detail included in all of these different worlds, like the languages he created and the specific cultures between say; the elves and the hobbits. Also, Orlando Bloom with a bow and arrow doesn't hurt.

Favourite Book : Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes (1959) 
I'm very picky with books. But this book in my eyes is flawless. It's a story that follows a mentally challenged man through his journal entries. Essentially, an experiment is done on a rat which drastically improves his mental capabilities. When this experiment is then tried on the man, he improves drastically (you can tell through his journal entries). It follows him through his journey of life, love, curiosity and adventure. It's amazing because the journal entries are written the way he would write it. In the beginning there are spelling errors, no punctuation, exactly the way someone who struggles with mental capabilities may write it. It's beautiful to see how his writing improves as his life improves. The climax is when the rat starts deteriorating and eventually dies. What happens to the man?
