My Life As A Zucchini (2016)
July 14, 2017 5:12
Director: Claude Barras
Rated PG-13, this is an unusual animation. A little boy lives with his alcoholic mother, til one day she dies in an accident that he blames himself for. He’s sent to a foster home, where all the kids are suffering from losing their parents and from growing up in highly dysfunctional homes. At first the other kids are suspicious of this kid who insists on being called Zucchini, a nick name given to him by his mother, but he slowly gets to know them.
The children have some pretty dark backstories, which makes it all the more poignant as they slowly bond and start to find family and acceptance in each other. Zucchini slowly learns to trust and learns what love is, but it’s not easy.

The Ticket Inspector…

I am late.
I am expected in Leicester and now my only option is to catch the last train.
The last train to Leicester is a slow train and also appears to be experiencing difficulties.
Stopping where there are no stations.
That sort of thing.
It becomes clear that many of my fellow passengers are not going to get to their destinations and as the ticket inspector makes his round they discuss alternatives together.
As this is an unfamiliar route I assume that Leicester too is now out of the question.
A strange thing about the ticket inspector, although this is a new route and I have never met him before, he knows my name…
“Yes, Stu…”
…and uses its familiar form.
“You’ll be in Leicester in twenty minutes time.”
Not only does the ticket inspector know my name and use its familiar form, he is also incredibly accurate.

Ó Deus, que pela humilhação do vosso Filho reerguestes o mundo decaído, enchei os vossos filhos e filhas de santa alegria e daí aos que libertastes da escravidão do pecado o gozo das alegrias eternas. Por Nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo, Vosso Filho, na unidade do Espírito Santo.

Je réussis à peine à échapper au flot quotidien de nouvelles souvent mauvaises

Il m’est d’autant plus important de ne pas me laisser influencer de cela.
Il peut être utile de se concentrer uniquement sur des belles choses.
Ich schaffe es kaum, der täglichen Flut an oft schlechten Nachrichten zu entkommen.
Umso wichtiger ist es mir, mich davon nicht beeinflussen zu lassen.
Es kann helfen, sich nur auf schöne Dinge zu fokussieren.
