I love photography, especially in its pure state without any editing. And if somebody can take pictures of our planet and the animals that live on it and combine these wonders together, it is the best thing. If you share this passion as well, you can come to visit the National Museum and admire a collection of great pictures from all over the world.
Another passion in my life is cinema and this week we can offer you not just one film, but two! The first one is the Huntsman: Winter's War; it is a follow-up of a modern story about Snow White, though without the dwarfs and with a good-looking Huntsman that hit the cinemas couple of years ago. This time Snow White hasn't found a place in the film and instead of just one evil queen there are remarkably two of them, and they're sisters as well. The film is a mixture between what happened before (or after?) Snow White and the Snow Queen (the very famous fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen and one of my favourite stories actually). If you see some similarities to the very popular Frozen, yes you are right, it was inspired by this story as well.
The second film, Macbeth, is to be honest, very difficult to understand, especially because of the language. It is English, but it is Shakespearean English. As I have seen this film, I can honestly tell you that I was just lost. Despite that, I highly recommend watching this film as the cast and the performances of Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard are just amazing! Michael Fassbender, as the Scottish king Macbeth who is getting crazier day by day, shows really good acting qualities and has become one of my favourite actors!
The weather seems to be quite nice these days and if you want to go out at night and have some sort of a mixture of being outside, but also not far from the warmth of inside, I can recommend Porters. It's my favourite place in Cardiff with an amazing beer garden. In case the weather changes rapidly, which I doubt, you can always pop-in and enjoy the live music there.
Have a great weekend and enjoy!
