Live to the Fullest

Who wore it looks better?

Well, it makes sense for young girls to prefer young boys over middle-aged men ^_^

Rudy has the young boy cheekbone award i will give him that but Merante win the award for best cheekbones in the whole opera.

Theory: Is Camille scared of Mérante? Like iirc some of her reactions suggest she's either intimidated or outright scared of him. Your thoughts?

Meiner Meinung nach, Camille may be intimidated, but she ismostly confused. She does as she is told – she follows the pattern she has adoptedover the years, the pattern that enabled her to please Regine and avoidunpleasant consequences. Yet, Camille’s technical perfection – which had alwaysbeen enough for Regine – is not enough for Merante. He demands something more.Camille doesn’t understand what it is that he expects her to do. She has noidea how to fulfill his requirements. What he deems to be a clear messages isprobably plain abstraction to her. She is confused, anxious, frustrated, and yes– Intimidated, but not by Merante specifically. It’s the combined effect of allthese factors that scares her.

At least this is the way I see it. I sort of feel Camille’sstate of mind might resemble mine from the time I realized that I was expectedto take responsibility for my own education. I remember thinking “Do youseriously expect me to keep track of all my notes, or register myself to courses?I am just a child!” – all while being a 20-year-old student of AppliedLinguistics.

I’m glad that someone talks about this. From my point of view, Mérante turns to be for Camille a father figure that hits her very hard. I fee like both at the end create a deep bond with each other.

It is believed that a child needs two parents to develop properly. More specifically, the child needs both the unconditional love and the conditional love.

A mother’s love is supposed to be the unconditional love – I love you, because you are my child. This kind of love provides the child with a sense of security. A father’s love is supposed to be the conditional love, the kind of love one must work for. In earning the father’s approval, the child learns that human relations require effort, and one must be willing to give something in return for what they receive. The two kinds of love supplement each other in forming a healthy human being.

We may assume that Regine’s love for Camille was conditional rather than unconditional, and not properly executed. Merante, on the other hand, presents Camille with the proper kind of conditional love. She failed to fulfil his original requirements, but he doesn’t dwell on it. Instead, he praises her for what she managed to accomplish. He gives her positive reinforcement for admitting to her own shortcomings, showing consideration for others, and exhibiting an overall strength of character. Camille is visibly relieved and elated to be met with such warm words. She may have felt like a loser before, but the teacher offered her a new perspective. I wouldn’t go as far as to call him her father figure, but I’m sure he made a meaningful impact on our little girl.

Hey, I sent your foster child away. Oh, BTW, you’re sacked.

THOSE EXPRESSIONS! MAKE ME FEEL TERRIBLE! I’M BROKE! DX

Ballerina/Leap! is love.

Reblog if you agree.

Screenshots?

Since somebody mentioned my Ballerina/Leap screenshots are particularly good looking - is there any character/location/scene of which you’d like to see screenshots?

I love your screenshots. :) thank you for the ones of the hug odette and felicie share when felicie comes back from the orphanage. :) im working on some fan art and decorating my daughter’s room . do u know if there are any screenshots when felicie jumps off the staircase and the scene following when she jumps into odette’s arms? If there are can you please post them or help me find them? it would be greatly appreciated. once my art is completed and uploaded to my computer i will post and tag you in it if you want :)

I have some, but I’ll make some more and split them into two collections (I can only put up 10 HD pictures at once).

Good luck with your daughter’s room. I remember a cousin of mine used a machine to project pictures onto her daughter’s room’s walls, then copied the lines of the projected pictures. I thought it was a good idea ^_^

So you have a daughter and a son, right?

i got my one son. there is two others that are step kids but i love them as my own. even though me and the kids’ dad are no longer together i got all the kids because he decided to go use drugs and the kids needed to be safe. this just happened so we are just getting rooms done and my daughter getting into school. so i got 1 girl and 2 boys all together. all of them are dancers at their own wills. so all my kids decided to go into ballet. i hope my boys dont get overly girly or something crazy. i hope the boys turn out like Merante where they are great dancers who became teachers and are still manly.

I just want to tell you that you are a wonderful human being. What you’re doing is awesome and amazing and admirable. I have tremendous amount of respect for people who willingly look after children and give them love. I am 29 years old and for me even babysitting my nephews for half-a-day is exhausting. It is rewarding, no doubt, but exhausting. So I applaud you.

Fortunately, we live in the time that girls can be boyish and boys can be girlish.

Unfortunately, we live in the times of manhood crisis. Fathers no longer want to raise their sons, so boys lack male role models. If the father is absent, a boy should be supported by a grandfather, uncle, coach, teacher, or a friend of the family. Girls transition into women smoothly, but becoming a man is a painful process – at least according to a book I read.

I hope you can find positive and worthy male role models for your sons.

Thank you for the kinda words. I have a huge heart. im 22 years old and got 3 kids full time no help at all. my boys got my adopted dad as a role model so they do have a good strong male figure. It made my entire day being told im admired for what i do. thank you so much :)

Thank you, Heavenly Father, for the faithfulness of friends.

Felicie darts into her mama’s embrace. This scene is dynamic, so it’s hard to get a frame that isn’t blurry.

#ballerina-leap #odette #felicie #mommydaughter

Amazing job catching it. :) by far one of the most touching scenes between her and her new mommy.

Some more hugs (and the eyes of love ^_^)

Everything about this scene! The way Luis looks at Odette! The look on Odette’s face when Felecie hugs her! The fact that Felecie saw that she was upset and decided, Hug time! I LOVE IT ALL!!!

YEEEEEEEESSS!!!

I think in this moment Odette really fell in love with Felicie. I know the look, its the same one my adopted mom had when she decided to take me away from my abusive household for good. the way Louis looks at Odette is pure love And the way Odette looks at Louis is the look that says after all I’ve done and pushed everyone away you still love me?

Agreed. Mérante family is PURE love.

i wish i could jump into the movie. my family was abusive my whole life. i never had a mom and dad that loved me and helped me achieve my dreams. Merante family is so special its pure love and all supporting.

Never stop dreaming. Félicie found her own lovely family. You could do it to. :)

I finally did. im 22 now i found mine at 19 after many years of looking. but i was so damaged from my past its taken until now to start getting better. Watching felicie find her family while she was young makes me happy and part of me gets to heal from my past. my adopted mom looks alot like a real version of Odette.straight to the limp because my adopted mom just battled a cancer in her upper leg and it hasnt healed and she lost lots of muscle in her leg.

¡WOW! So after all, Ballerina/Leap! is a very good inspirational movie! I didn’t knew many people would have a simillar story.

Its rare at least where i live for someone to take in a kid the way i was and how felicie was. Ballerina/Leap! has been a good coping movie for me. and my therapist said and gave me approval to watch it as many times as i want a day because i’m showing so much improvement in my healing from my trauma since i started watching it. its been many years of therapy and when i started watching it about a month ago ive healed more than i have in the past 4years without it. its an amazing story and pure coincidence that my adopted mom resembles Odette and i look like a brunette version of felicie much older. :) so its been a great movie for me and really inspirational. and if it wasnt for my daughter i wouldve never found it. lol

The Leap!
