“I grew up in the industry. I was 11 when I started acting and I was always the youngest [on sets], and I would cling to people who would act as tutors for me. I always appreciated that. So from the first moment I found out about Aria, I wanted to be there for her as much as I could and tried to help her as much as possible. And she’s amazing.”

Loberti, who is legally blind, said she is grateful for Hofmann’s support, directly addressing him: “I have to give credit to [you,] Louis, because if I didn’t have the three weeks of watching you, I would not have found that fortitude within myself. And I’m just so appreciative of you as a mentor and a friend. You really took the time with me when you had to also do so much work as an actor and prepare for your character. And you took the time with me to essentially explain to me what it means to be an actor.” 💔💔💔💔💔

Finally got around to making some memes of my latest ✨obsession

I wish I could describe how this book made me feel. It’s almost astronomical, the array of emotions and feelings that emerged straight from the soul as I flipped each page. The detail, the love, the uncertainty - to describe it with the fewest words, it’s magnificently unpredictable.

The characters, each one of them, inscribed something deep within my spirit. The love and bonding between Marie-Laure and her father, Etienne and his demons, and Werner and his sister, Frederick and his birds, and his powerful resentment towards something wrong - his power. Madam Manec with her peach jams and the big pot where she carried all the love. The big museum with its exhibits, all those herbarium sheets and fossils, and the curse of a diamond that was equivalent to eight Eiffel Towers that should've been thrown out into the deep trenches of the oceans long ago, but only an insane would throw eight Eiffel Towers into the unknown. Papa, with his crafty hands, built the whole of Paris with his bare hands. Marie-Laure is so unaware of what everything around her looks like, yet she hears the very minor details. Jutta, the little girl who had a mind of her own, who had words of her own, and her elder brother, who was nothing by himself, who really lived under the shadows of others, had a heart so weak to resent, too weak to fight, that the heart decided to do what everyone else was doing - a heart scared of rebellion. Frau Elena served the abandoned children till her very last breath, showering those nameless breathing corpses with so much love. Von Rumpel and his war - his war with the world, his quest to find the cursed diamond, his greed, his unfathomable hatred, his desire and passion for war and victory, his dying body, his quest for immortality that the diamond is rumored to confer on anyone who possesses it, his selfish greed, his undying fear of the unknown,and, his trembling fear of death.

The depths that this particular book touched are unmatchable. It feels like loose sand slipping through your fingers, and the helplessness that comes with it - the haunting beauty of the magnificent pain of separation, of lost identities, and of lost people. It’s remarkable. Anthony Doerr, you are a genius.

i just finished all the light we cannot see on netflix, and now i’m going to be one of those annoying people who think that the book is so much better and that they prefer the book because i think the book is so much better and i prefer the book, lol.

one of my reasons is anthony doerr’s incredible prose. to this day i still remember how he compares the shadow of a nazi officer’s car to the grim reaper flying across the walls. another reason is i actually like the original ending, lol sorry. and the netflix series also almost completely erases jutta’s story, so.

anyways. i’d love to recommend the novel to anyone who hasn’t read it.

|| the genre is: first gentle touch in years, and I want whole episodes dedicated to it

The slow sandy light of dawn permeates the room. Everything transient and aching; everything tentative. To be here, in this room, high in this house, out of the cellar, with her: it is like medicine.

All The Light We Cannot See s01e02: “Be gentle with this one. The Reich has high hopes for him.”

look at me in my eyes and tell me werner pfennig is not fucking in love with marie-laure

+ A not so whumpy bonus because why not

All the light we cannot see - season 1 episode 3/4

(Oh my) This cutscene is so cool 🔥

I find it quite ironic that the Louis's character in "All the Light We Cannot See" meets the character from "All Quiet on the Western Front." And he has that expression again, as if he stepped from one hell into another.
