"Breakthrough inventions hardly ever come from completely new ideas, but rather from the application of a concept from one field to another. The cyclonic vacuum cleaner was inspired by the way industrial cyclones spun dust and dirt out of the air. To be creative, Johansson argues you need to push the boundaries, ask questions, and not be afraid of failure. Something Dyson engineers understand."

"It offers a way of re-ordering ordinary experience. It argues that when we perceive the actions and intentions of others, we tend to make mistakes. We see things that aren’t there and we make predictions that we ought not to make: we privilege the ‘person’ and we discount the influence of the ‘situation.’ It speaks, in short, to the very broadest questions of human perception."

When Delfina was seven, her father killed her mother. So she grew up with her grandparents. Questions about her mother and the murder haunted Delfina through into adulthood, and her large Polish family could do nothing to answer them. This story about passion and disappointment was lovingly rendered, and evocative. You can read my full review here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2014/04/04/on-passion-and-disappointment/

Beauty and the Beast has always been my favorite Disney movie and this recreation certainly brought it justice. I also appreciated that we got more of a backstory as it answered questions I had from the first film like "Why does no one remember the prince is he was cursed not too long ago". The storytelling, visuals, and music were stunning and it is a must-see!
