My Inspiration - ItsElla | Guest Week

-


Hi guys ItsElla...

And today in here doing a guest post for Lou on her collab week! I'm really happy about this, I was excited to do it and hope I do it well. I'm over at ellacrabb.blogspot.com so go and check out my blog. In the meantime here is my post for you here, so I give you... My Inspiration.

Now when I saw Lou's post I immediately knew that I wanted to take part, I contacted her and the next obstacle was to think of something to post about. I spent the whole week writing notes in my blogging notebook (yes I have a blogging notebook) and that's when it hit me, as I was online, I thought 'I wish I was like most of these online personalities' so I realised, they were my inspiration.

Who?

Well I have a few to be truthful. Here are a few...

Olivia Palermo
Mylifeaseva 
Audrey Hepburn 

Now, my all time absolute inspiration would have to be Mylifeaseva or Eva Gutowski. I love her YouTube channel and blog and Instagram! I just absolutely love all of her social media accounts. She's classy and let's be real, has the perfect skin, whilst I'm over here with pimples and what have you. Yes, it can be frustrating having inspirations as normally your inspiration (or how they appear to you) well they're a lot better than you. So sometimes it can be annoying but i feel they inspire us because they make us feel like we can do something with our lives, they can make us feel like we can make a better version of ourselves. Which is a good thing!


So when I see these amazing people I think, how can I change my lifestyle for the better! So here is my list on how we can make ourselves better people inside and out:
- Eat healthier 
- Go to the gym
- Run in your local park
- Take up a hobby (mine is photography)
- Laugh each day
- Keep in touch with friends
- De-stress
- See the good in people
- Don't hold grudges 
- Put 110% effort in everything you do

There you go, I'm Ella. My blog is at ellacrabb.blogspot.com and I hope you enjoyed this post, comment on my blog, read my last post. Do whatever! Thanks Lou, I had a great few days writing and rewriting this post, hope you enjoyed reading it xoxo

A Clockwork Orange | 100 Movies Bucket List

-
Image
Next up for the bucket list was a highly anticipated first-time watch. The first time I heard of this film was back in school during an English class - we had to pick classic films to write essays on and one of my classmates picked this one. I didn't completely know what it was about, but since then it has always been in the back of my mind to watch eventually. And it didn't surprise me at all that it was on this list. When I was trying to find somewhere to watch it, I did some accidental research about it. I had no idea it was so controversial, and seeing that made me want to watch it even more. But ultimately, I ended up having quite negative feelings on the movie as a whole. For one, I'm not someone who shies away from violent movies, even when the violence is graphic. But there was something about the violence in this movie that kind of put me off. It wasn't really about the violence itself, or the way it was done, but more about the character. It's hard to foll

The Great Dictator | 100 Movies Bucket List

Next up for the bucket list was a film that I hadn't heard of. I'm familiar with Charlie Chaplin, but moreso for his silent films than for anything else, so I didn't really have any idea what this film would be about. And once I did look up the premise, it wasn't one that I was particularly excited to see. I knew that it probably wouldn't be one of my favourites, so it wasn't a surprise that I didn't love it. For a start, as a fan of some of Chaplin's other movies, this movie felt very different, which caught me a bit off guard I appreciated the satire, but it might just be that it isn't as funny for a modern audience, or maybe that it's just not my kind of humour, but a lot of it didn't work for me. It also felt way longer than it needed to be. The runtime itself wasn't a problem as it's just over 2 hours, but a lot of the scenes felt like they could have been shorter. The themes of the film were very ambitious for when it was made.

Seven Samurai | 100 Movies Bucket List

  Next up for the bucket list was another movie I'd never heard of. The premise was an interesting one, but a 2.5 hour samurai movie wasn't something that I was itching to see.  Nevertheless once I started watching it I became really engrossed in the story and characters. For a start, the acting was great. Nothing about the film felt inauthentic, the characters felt like real people and when you're watching it, you're instantly rooting for them. This is also down to the writing and direction. Every aspect of the way the film is made has been done really well. While the film wasn't one of my favourites, there's no doubt about the way it has shaped cinema. It's regarded as one of the most 'remade, reworked, referenced' films in cinema, and the basic premise shows how true that is. I feel like I've seen a good few films based loosely on this premise and it always works because it's a classic underdog story. If you've never heard of this movi

Brokeback Mountain | 100 Movies Bucket List

  Next up was one of my most highly anticipated re-watches. I probably watch this film once a year - I love it too much not to watch it, but it's sad enough that I don't need to watch it more than that. I don't remember the first time I saw the film, but I remember the effect it has always had on me. The movie is so powerful, it has so much to say, with messages that could still be applied to the world today. I can't praise either the filmmaking or the performances highly enough. You can tell that the film was made with passion and respect, that everyone involved put everything they had into telling this story in the right way. And that includes the actors. Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal were phenomenal in these roles, their chemistry was amazing and I can't imagine anyone else playing these iconic characters. This film is also one of those rare cases where a movie is better than the book it's based on. The movie is based on a short story, and the story is a g

Her | 100 Movies Bucket List

This one was a re-watch that I was really looking forward to seeing again. I first saw it around the time Joker came out and I remember really liking it, so it was one that I saved until later in the bucket list so I could have something to look forward to. But weirdly, my experience of it was completely different on this re-watch. The things about the main character that I found endearing originally put me off this time around. I didn't really like the character at all and I couldn't connect with him. I also didn't find it as profound as I remember finding it the first time. The love story didn't feel as innocent or endearing and I never felt truly invested. I don't know if it's because of how AI-heavy the world is right now, but it just felt really weird. I do like the concept, but I think the characters are where it fell down a bit for me. And that's not to say I hated the film this time. I still think it's a good film that's well-made, it just wa
