"Through a Glass Darkly and The Silence strike me as two of the most psychological films ever made. The former dramatizes madness, and it doesn’t shy away from the despair and horror of the subject. It is equally fascinated by the way that lives are halted, turned, and redirected by tragedy. The Silence is possibly the most Freudian film ever made, a fever dream about the short journey from sexual ecstasy to absolute despair. Fanny and Alexander was Bergman’s Amarcord, a melancholy epic punctuated by moments of unexpected joy. It’s an incredibly rich film, a culmination of a life spent mastering film and theater. All three of these movies were shot by the great Sven Nykvist."

Amazing classic, amazing action and definitely one of the best movies Arnold Schwarzenegger has made (even though the one with the Kindergarden is my favorite one, and also the one with the twins, with Danny DeVito).

The storyline is amazing, even though it made me think a bit deeper and visit some reddit pages for fan-based theories.

After a discussion with my partner though, we concluded that men mostly enjoy this movie because of (obviously) the action, but for me as a woman, the underrated romance was something that left a big mark and something I really enjoyed.

Forget Romeo and Juliet - this is the romance tragedy you want in your life!

Jenna has left her old life behind to start again after a severe tragedy. You get a glimpse into a nee life she is building for herself before her pasts come back to bite her.

This book is full of delicious twists and turns that I did not see coming. Part 1 and 2 are very different perspectives.

The characters are all very believable and my opinion of them change quite fluidly throughout the book. Some of the back story around the officers could have been left out as I personally think the story would have been great without it.
