My most beloved books

Due to being in need of space and trying to FLY, I've prioritized my book collection, down to the bare basics. All of these books and authors(a few exceptions) have significant meaning to me and has been an important part of my life or given me something precious at different times of my life. My small table holds larger books with pictures with some school books. I have another shelf for schoolbooks.

Bottom, up

Movies I like: Documentaries

Yet another chapter! This time for documentaries. I love watching all kinds of documentaries, even the silly low-quality ones about all kinds of weird things(Ok, just between us, I don't have a television, but I love, love TLC) As one of my girlies said: "Bad TV is actually good TV!". I also love watching documentaries about food and nature, which is reflected a bit here, and I'll never back down from any survival or BBC Nature program ;)

Earthlings(2005)
I've mentioned this one before, and I'll do it again. This movie is vile and I hate watching it, because it makes me feel sick - And it should! I hope you'll hold your guts and get through this, because everybody kind of needs to! Available legally for free here: http://earthlings.com/

Ashes and Snow: The Film(2005)
Originally an installation by Canadian artist Gregory Colbert. As far as I learned he's been working on it since 1992 and is the most visited exhibition ever, with more than 10 billion guests. It consists of lots and lots of still photos, a few videos, and a narrator that will say things like: "The whales do not sing because they have an answer. They sing because they have a song". The movie is really spacy, but if you ever have a spare 63 minutes it is really beautiful and worth watching!

Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead(2005)
I was introduced to this recently, and I especially liked the second part of the movie, that surprised me a lot. It should be mentioned that I'm not advocating using this diet, nor never did it myself or anything. I just like the story of how Phil is so unhappy, and decides to do something about it!

Food Inc(2008)
A movie about the American food industry, with a lot of material from one of my favorite authors Michael Pollan. I love talking about maize.

Capitalism: A love story(2009)

It's kind of boring, but you kind of have to watch it.

The Human Scale(2012)

About great cities based on the work by Danish architect Jan Gehl - And actually what we are working with at school right now!

Jiro Dreams of Sushi(2011)
I could watch this countless time - The sushi is absolutely perfect, the movie is perfectly done, the ambiance in the restaurant, the wisdom and the philosophy from both Jiro and his sons and workers. This movie is perfection and it is very clever. Go watch it!(Because I just got an urge to watch it just ooone moooreee tiiimeee)

Movies I like: Populars

I have been asked to showcase a few of the movies I really liked watching/originally reading. This is the first part, and this will contain movies I figured where very popular and known, but also very much worth watching if you ask me. Please note, that I've been told countless times that I have a really bad taste in movies, so don't trust me ;)

    American History X(1998)
    A very unpleasant film about racism and how such things are passed through society.

    Forrest Gump(1994)
    You all know this one, right? A peculiar and very interesting story about one man's life. It always reminds                me, that "if it's not okay, it's not the end".

    Slumdog Millionaire(2008)
    How it all adds up.

    The Curious Case of Benjamin Button(2008)
    IMDb did a great tagline for this: "Life can only be understood backwards. It must be lived forwards"

    Into the Wild(2007)
    I have no words. This is a true story. It is sad how the meaning of the movie is not very apparent until the      very end, but it will all come together. I love this.

    Shawshank Redemption(1994)
    "redemption through acts of common decency". You have already seen this, haven't you?

    The Hours(2002)
    I actually don't think the movie is very known, but the book it is based on is an absolute classic. It's an     interpretation of the Virginia Woolf "Mrs. Dalloway". Amazing actresses, amazing story. Takes my breath     away. I especially adore the way Nicole Kidman plays Virginia, as seen in the photo.

    Out of Africa(1985)
    The filmatization of the book by the Danish author Karen Blixen. I loved the book and the story she tell's     about her life in Africa.

    The Truman Show(1998)
    How big is your world?
