Italian Cinema

I find watching movies one of the best way to learn a language. That's why since I've started to learn Italian, I've watched a great deal of Italian movies. Therefore, I've made a list of five of my favourite ones that I advise you to watch: 
  1. Cinema Paradiso: directed by Giuseppe Tornatore, tells a story of Salvatore. The film presents the whole life of the protagonist: from the little boy that loves watching movies, till mature Salvatore, the famous director. 

  1. La Pazza Gioia: Giovanna and Beatrice suffer from the mental disturbs. They meet in the centre for the mentally ill and they manage to escape. Together they part for a travel that's about to change their lives. 

  1. Perfetti Sconosciutti: five friends meet for a diner and one of them comes with an idea to play a game. Each of them must put its phone on the table and respond aloud on any message they receive. From the nice diner, the evening becomes a real nightmare when all the secrets come to light. 

  1. La vita è bella: a film directed and featured by Roberto Begnini, won three Oscars. It shows the story of an Italian with Jewish origins who together with his family is sent to the concentration camp. To protect his little son from the horror of the reality, he pretends to play a game with prizes that they will get for doing tasks. 

  1. La mafia uccide solo d'estate: Pierfranceso Diliberto's movie is a sort of a dramatic comedy that in an ironic way presents the activity of Cosa Nostra in Palermo between 1970's and 1990'.

In 2015: More people have died by taking selfies than by shark attacks

Although people tend to be afraid of shark attacks, the fear is not entirely justified and it most likely a result of movies fiction than being a witness of one.  In fact, in 2015, there have been twelve recorded selfie deaths in comparison to eight people dying because of shark attacks. Most of the selfie-related deaths have been due to falling. The next most common is when people are trying to take a selfie, and they're hit by a moving vehicle. In order to get a good shoot people risk more and more. Everyone wants to have an unique picture.  Some are crossing the line and in exchange for likes are taking the whole selfie thing a little too far. In Russia selfie deaths have become so popular that the government even released a guide detailing how not to die while taking a picture of yourself.

Being royal has plenty of perks, but it’s not always that great to be a part of the Family. Anyone who has ever watched The Crown or any other documentary about British Royal Family, knows that with the power and privileges come also responsibilities and set of rules they’re obligated to follow. You might have already heard about some of the Royals weird traditions, this is the list of 5 rules that I, personally, find the most bizarre. 1.      They can not play Monopoly Why? It’s simple. Prince Andrew, Elisabeth II’s son, once he took part in some public event. He’s been introduced to the game and its rules, but he didn’t quite liked it. Therefore, he decided that Monopoly should be forbidden and members of the family should not be allowed to play it. 2.      The British Royal Family can not eat seafood Seafood can cause food poisoning, that’s why the Royals can not eat crabs, mussels or shrimps. 3.      They have ...
