CineLibro BEAUTIFUL BOY di David Shef Ed. italiana @sperlingkupfer (2009). Da questo libro il film Beautiful Boy di Felix Van Groeningen (2018) In sala dal 14 febbraio 2019. . “Perché il mio meraviglioso ragazzo si è perso? Che cosa è successo alla mia famiglia? Dove ho sbagliato? Sono le laceranti domande che hanno ossessionato David Sheff in ogni istante dello straziante viaggio nella tossicodipendenza del figlio Nic e nel difficile percorso verso la guarigione. Prima dell'incontro con la droga, Nic era il figlio che ogni genitore vorrebbe: cresciuto con amore dal papà giornalista e dalla mamma artista, era un ragazzo allegro e simpatico, studente modello, campione nello sport, adorato dai fratellini. Ma quando raggiunge l'adolescenza, Nic comincia a sperimentare le droghe, cadendo in una devastante discesa agli inferi, fatta di metamfetamina ed eroina. La dipendenza lo rende un relitto tremante «con due buchi neri al posto degli occhi», e inizia a mentire, rubare, scappare di casa. A chiedere aiuto e a precipitare di nuovo nel tunnel. In questo memoir straziante, spietato e sincero, scritto con il cuore e con le lacrime di un padre che ama disperatamente il figlio, David Sheff racconta i primi segnali d'allarme, le bugie, le telefonate alle tre del mattino (sarà Nic? La polizia? L'ospedale?), i tentativi di disintossicazione, le ricadute. Lo stato di continua preoccupazione diventa per lui, a sua volta, una forma di dipendenza; panico, ansia e stress incessanti richiederanno un prezzo altissimo. Eppure non si è mai arreso e ha sondato e percorso ogni strada possibile per salvare suo figlio”. . . . #beautifulboy #frombooktomovie #fatherandson #drugaddicted #familystories #vita #sofferenza #drama #libridrammatici #memory #memories #memoir #epistolary #libridaleggere #lettere #corrispondenza #diario #felixvongroeningen #timotheechalamet #stevecarrell https://www.instagram.com/p/BttN-7ThHKC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bu7mb52ehuvr

Still reading "Where Rainbows End" by Cecilia Ahern. And what surprised me is when I read "Magandang tanghali po from the Philippines". Isn't it amazing? I wonder if it's included in the movie "Love,Rosie". Well, better finish the book today then watch the movie on Friday and see for myself. #ibook #FromBookToMovie (at Mubaraz Al Hasa)

The Maze Runner / / Brooklyn

When Thomas wakes up, he can’t remember anything about his past, who he is, where he is, or why, just like every other boy that woke up in The Box. He’s pulled out by the other teenage boys, who call themselves Gladers, and enters the Glade. They told him he’ll remember his name in the next couple of days, which will be the only thing he will remember. Everything about the Glade is systemized by the ones who made it, called the Creators. Every week the Box brings supplies for the Gladers, and once a month a newbie comes up. The Glade consists of four walls on each side with huge doors that open every sunrise and close every sunset. Outside the Glade walls is the Maze. When the doors are closed at night, mechanical manmade creatures crawl around and are meant to attack when they see life. When the doors open in the morning the Runners go out into the ever-changing Maze and try to solve it. They have been trying for three years. Now that Thomas has arrived, everything will change, because there’s something about him that is different than all the rest.

            Thomas gets blamed for the strange events that follow his arrival; Ben gets stung by a Griever and goes through the Changing. When you get stung you have to get injected with the healing serum that will take you through the "Changing" otherwise you’ll die. The "Changing" will bring back memories of your past, but you are never the same person due to bad memories of your past coming as well that you wish to not remember. He attacks Thomas and says he saw him working with the Creators when he went through the Changing. Because of Glade rule, Ben was sacrificed to the Maze at sunset, and everyone looks to Thomas for answers he doesn’t have. The day after Thomas arrives, the first girl comes up from in Box, asleep, and everyone freaks out, due to the strange note in her hand reading, “She’s the last one EVER”. She is taken to the medical area and repeats Thomas’s name in her sleep, but denies knowing him when she wakes up because her memory was wiped just like the others. Thomas becomes a Runner when all the others but Minho, the Keeper of the Runners, quit when these and other strange things started happening.

            Thomas is convinced that he can find a way out and encourages the others to help him. About half of the boys believe him and they find an escape from the treacherous Maze. After going down a dark tunnel and a dim lit hall, they find the place where the Creators watched them, but everyone in the room was dead. A video was posted on one of the computers that “explained” why the boys were trapped and trailed in the Maze. The only real explanation for everything can be in the next two sequels.
