Behind these events, there is a warning for all of humanity: if we don’t start to value our planet, one day, we will depend on corn fields. And this film is one of the best in the genre in terms of special effects. Why you should watch it: Many internet users think that this film is the best in the history of cinema, but critics think that it’s quite a controversial film for Christopher Nolan.

Why you should watch it: The fans of the original cartoon didn’t really like the remake, but it’s still a chance to relive Simba’s story with great visual effects. IMDb score — 6.9
The Gentlemen
In this film, Guy Ritchie returned to his iconic style. Elite drinks, expensive houses, and funny jokes — it’s hard to imagine a story about criminals without this atmosphere. Great dialogue, talented actors, and a great story might make you want to watch the film more than once. Why you should watch it: This is a classic gangster action film with some of the greatest actors of today. And Hugh Grant played an amazing uncharacteristic role. IMDb score — 7.8
Wonder
This film is based on the self-titled novel by R. J. Palacio. August was born with a rare genetic pathology and had to have a lot of facial surgeries. It’s a sad story.

Why you should watch it: Among lots of blockbusters, this film teaches us to believe in other people. IMDb score — 8.0

Why you should watch it: This film doesn’t have any negative reviews from critics. The secret is that the creators were really careful with the original story about the bear. IMDb score — 7.8
Michelangelo — Infinito
Every shot of this film reminds us of something the genius Michelangelo created. And every part contains a lot of symbolism. It is a biography and an idea of how this great sculptor could see the world. It’s not a film about action scenes or special effects. But it has something else: the mysterious talent of Michelangelo. Why you should watch it: The film was made with the help of the Vatican museums and it stays true to the historical facts. If you love art, you will love this film. IMDb score — 7.2
It
If Stephen King only scared us with creepy clowns, he would probably be a comic book writer. But his novels are full of psychological observations, so this film doesn’t just scare you. It also talks about real social problems. Why you should watch it: The director of the film carefully prepared for a long time to be able to recreate the atmosphere of the original. Tilda Swinton was offered the part of Pennywise, but she was busy. IMDb score — 7.3
Perfect Strangers
What doesn’t your phone hide? 7 friends think that they don’t have any secrets from each other. The rules are simple: all calls and texts are read out loud. This Italian comedy is a lot like a theater play — there’s not a lot of action, but there’s a lot of dialogue. Every character has dark secrets, which is why this simple game evolves into a drama. Why you should watch it: 18 countries made remakes of this film, which is why it’s in The Guinness Book of World Records. IMDb score — 7.8

When sitting in a chair or in an armchair, a lady either puts their hand one over the other or keeps them “locked.”
Another important rule followed by a lady that she will never break is watching her posture — both in public and when alone. A straight back and shoulders are her business card in any situation. It also contributes to the good health of many inner organs, not just the spine.
A lady can control her emotions. You won’t see eyes that are rounded by surprise on her face, nor will you see grimaces of hatred and anger. A grin from one ear to the other is also not something you’ll see a true lady doing. She always keeps in mind that she should be tampering down the level of her emotions: if she is extremely resentful, she can slightly frown. If she is super surprised, she can slightly raise her brows and show her feelings with her eyes. A lady is always collected and calm, while her face and gestures are precise and moderate.
Her personal boundaries are sacred to her. Breaking them, both personal and physical ones, will not only be impossible for her to ignore, but it will also not be taken lightly. A lady doesn’t tolerate neglect or rudeness toward herself and knows how to politely show to the overly free-willed person she is interacting with that putting their hand on her shoulder or touching her hair is only possible with permission. There is no need to argue or get into a conflict, a couple of apt phrases in a sustained calm tone are enough for the person who slighted her to feel that they have crossed a line.

A little girl with Down syndrome has paved her way to a career as a model despite the fact that most people with such a diagnosis face issues when searching for a job .
As a child , Marian dreamt of conquering the fashion world and taking part in runway shows .

In 2016 , she completed a professional course in a modeling school where she had been studying for 10 months .
The same year , the girl debuted as a model at a charity show by designer Lina Lavin , which was held in Madrid .
Marian likes to dress up and look stylish .
She is especially fond of putting on evening outfits and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a lot of joy .
Her cherished dream was to walk the catwalk at one of the famous fashion weeks .
And this was destined to come true .
Here is what the girl herself says about it : “ In April , I got a letter saying that designer Talisha White wanted me to walk as her ’ celebrity model ’ at New York Fashion Week on September 8 , 2018 .
Finally , finally !
I couldn ’ t stop crying from the emotion .
I kept repeating , ’ It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s my dream.
’ ” Marian continued , “ That date is fast approaching , every time I think about it a lump in my throat makes me want to cry , I am very excited .
I am going to parade in New York , I have no words , I am going to fulfill my dream.
” “ I never thought that a girl , without knowing me , would believe in me , in my effort .
She is my angel !
” exclaimed the girl .
It was Kenzie @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Week model coordinator , who wrote to the girl after she had come across an article about Marian and her dream to take part in Fashion Week on Facebook .

And before that , she had the opportunity to appear in huge publications , such as Vogue , The New York Times , Vanity Fair , and Harper ’ s Bazaar .
We believe that a girl with such strength of mind @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all hardships deserves everything that she has : fame , respect , the opportunity to inspire others , and most importantly , her dream that came true .
What do you think about this story ?
Do you agree that the main thing in life is not about being perfect but about going after your dreams despite all obstacles ?

They say if you have a true dream, it will come true no matter what, and the Spanish model Marian Avila proves this. A little girl with Down syndrome has paved her way to a career as a model despite the fact that most people with such a diagnosis face issues when searching for a job.
We at Bright Side have loads of respect for people who reach their goals and are eager to share the story of this talented young woman with you.
As a child, Marian dreamt of conquering the fashion world and taking part in runway shows. There was nothing that could stop the girl from reaching her dream — from the fact that she was born with Down syndrome to her height, which was 5’3’’ and not the standard 5’6’’ or 5’9’’ that models are typically required to be.
In 2016, she completed a professional course in a modeling school where she had been studying for 10 months. The same year, the girl debuted as a model at a charity show by designer Lina Lavin, which was held in Madrid. Marian likes to dress up and look stylish. She is especially fond of putting on evening outfits and visiting various events — they bring her a lot of joy.
Her cherished dream was to walk the catwalk at one of the famous fashion weeks. And this was destined to come true. Here is what the girl herself says about it: “In April, I got a letter saying that designer Talisha White wanted me to walk as her ’celebrity model’ at New York Fashion Week on September 8, 2018. Finally, finally! I couldn’t stop crying from the emotion. I kept repeating, ’It’s my dream, it’s my dream.’” Marian continued, “That date is fast approaching, every time I think about it a lump in my throat makes me want to cry, I am very excited. I am going to parade in New York, I have no words, I am going to fulfill my dream.” “I never thought that a girl, without knowing me, would believe in me, in my effort. She is my angel!” exclaimed the girl.
It was Kenzie Dugmore, the daughter of the Fashion Week model coordinator, who wrote to the girl after she had come across an article about Marian and her dream to take part in Fashion Week on Facebook. However, the aspiring model could only take part in the fashion show the following year because she was suffering from ankle trauma. On the 8th of September, Marian walked on the runway of New York Fashion Week where she debuted several outfits. Her family was cheering for her up in the runway hall. In one of her interviews, when Marian was asked who her main support was, she confessed that it was her sister who was always with her, giving her the necessary support, and even helps her take photos for social media.
“The truth is that it has been very exciting. I have no words. It was a dream. I wanted to show the whole world that there are no barriers if you have a dream,” the girl shared of her impressions of everything after having walked in Fashion Week. She also shared that she wanted to personally thank Talisha after the show but she got emotional during their meeting and started to cry.
This experience opened the doors to the fashion industry for Marian. She is 23 now, lives in Benidorm, Alicante, Spain, and is the official face of the new Levi’s campaign. And before that, she had the opportunity to appear in huge publications, such as Vogue, The New York Times, Vanity Fair, and Harper’s Bazaar.
Apart from modeling and regular training at home, she also partakes in vocal lessons and is learning English. One can only envy such determination.
Marian uses her public performances and social media to attract attention to people with Down syndrome and remind them that they are able to do anything they want.
On the 14th of November, Marian received the 2020 Quincy Jones Exceptional Advocacy Award, which was given to her for her achievements as a model and for being a role model to others.

I spent a month living in Thailand when I was 15. The first hour broke me. The trip there had taken an absurdly long time and long story short, I had been awake for about 38 hours by that point. I did not have an ounce of mental fortitude, which I also did not know I would need. We (a group of us) met up with the families we were staying with, made our introductions, and all that jazz. Nice folks. We decided to go home, take a nap (it was 7 a.m. local time), and meet up for dinner. I say “decided” but that was the plan all along. I got into the car in the backseat — no seatbelts. Okay, cool, that’s different but whatever. We pulled out onto the very busy road, on the left side. A bit of a surprise but hey, that’s neat. The city (Bangkok) was wildly different from any place I had ever been. But that was expected, it’s the other side of the world, right? Nearly there, we stopped at a stop light. There was an elephant standing beside me, 10 feet from my window. That was it. That elephant broke me. It was too much. There were no elephants outside car windows anywhere I had been before. I closed my eyes and curled up into a ball until we arrived. Lovely country. Wonderful people. © trabbaro / Reddit

People who eat dark chocolate at least once per week tend to perform better in various mental and memory tests, a study found. Flavanols in cocoa increase the blood flow to the brain and they gather in parts of the brain that are responsible for learning and memory.

It helps regulate your appetite and decreases your risk of overeating. Research has shown, that a high-calorie breakfast involving chocolate helps cut calories throughout the day.
3. It is a natural mood booster.
Mornings can be hard and it’s better to put yourself in the right mood at the start of the day. Chocolate can improve your mood and promote positive feelings. Eating chocolate stimulates the production of endorphins and interacts with our other “feel-good” chemicals — serotonin and dopamine. Chocolate is also noted for its anti-depressant effect.
4. It is good for your health.
It turns out that people who eat more chocolate per day have a lower risk of heart disease and stroke. Eating dark chocolate is a great exercise workout for the heart: it lowers blood pressure and helps the blood vessels to relax thanks to the nitric oxide produced by flavonoids. Healthy amounts of dark chocolate that are rich in cacao can also improve how our body metabolizes glucose, thus helping to fight off diabetes. Finally, dark chocolate can drop the levels of “bad” LDL cholesterol, which can clog arteries in high amounts, and raise the levels of “good” HDL cholesterol. While all those benefits are not restricted to morning consumption, overall, chocolate will make a healthy day-starter.
5. It helps you switch to work mode.
Just as coffee beans and tea, cocoa contains caffeine. The amount can vary, but as the rule, the darker chocolate has more caffeine in it, with white chocolate having none. And like other caffeinated foods, chocolate makes you more alert and wakeful. Another chemical from cacao is theobromine. It gives chocolate its bitter taste and raises your energy level — just what you need in the morning.
6. It’s nutritious and supports our immune system.
On top of all the other benefits, chocolate is packed with nutrients. Any 70% dark chocolate bar contains antioxidants (even more than green tea!), calcium, copper, potassium, and magnesium. Flavanols will help to fight off cell damage caused by the oxidants we are exposed to on a daily basis: things like cigarette smoke, air pollution, and alcohol. So, get yourself protected with cocoa before leaving home.
7. It will aid your morning workout.
We’ve already covered why chocolate milk is a superior workout drink, and these reasons are true when it comes to solid chocolate as well. Dark chocolate boosts nitric oxide levels and provides better muscle recovery and growth, which makes it a good idea to add some dark chocolate or cocoa into your pre- or post-workout morning meal.
Bonus: Ways to add chocolate to your breakfast
If munching a bar of dark chocolate is not your thing, there are a lot of other ways to incorporate chocolate into your meal. As long as you can sneak some cocoa powder into your breakfast, it’s fine. Smoothie and protein shakes. A scoop of cocoa or chocolate sauce will easily supercharge an already healthy breakfast.
A scoop of cocoa or chocolate sauce will easily supercharge an already healthy breakfast. Hot chocolate . Forget morning tea or coffee, hot cocoa is the new cool. But if you’re feeling especially adventurous, you can try mocha, a coffee-based drink with some additional hot chocolate. Also, drinking hot chocolate on a regular basis boosts your memory and cognitive abilities.

There are millions of stray cats around the world, and many people prefer to take pets from the street and not to buy or take them from friends. But some of these furry fluff balls become homeless by their own free will — like if the home they live in is noisy and crowded or if they’re poorly fed — and the 4-legged adventurers try their luck somewhere else.
These pets were courageous enough to “adopt” a human they chose themselves. Bright Side couldn’t stay away and would like to share these short stories of new pet owners with you.
“My son and I have been wanting a cat for years and this one just showed up on our doorstep. It took us about a week of feeding him outside to finally get him inside this morning and I think he’s liking it here. We’re calling him Nugget.”

Maverick and Goose are co-pilots and best friends in Top Gun (1986) starring Tom Cruise. — Bright Side note

The press has referred to this particularity as “The Kate Effect.” But have you ever wondered how the Duchess of Cambridge dressed before she became a royal? Sure, it’s true that as a royal it’s easy to have access to great clothing and amazing shoes. However, Kate Middleton already had a rocking style before anyone even started to call her a duchess.
And to prove this, Bright Side compiled a list of the most stylish outfits Kate Middleton ever wore before she joined the royal family. There’s no doubt that she was already developing all the qualities needed to become the queen of fashion and style that she is today.
1.
This picture was taken in June 2005. Kate is wearing jeans, a timeless modern-classic garment that never goes out of style.
2.
Again, this was taken in June 2005. Kate Middleton looked radiant on the day of her graduation from St. Andrews University in Scotland where she obtained a master of arts degree in art history. It was there where she met Prince William.

Then, in November 2005, you could see her wearing light-washed jeans and a matching blue blazer that contrasted perfectly with her hair color. The picture was taken when she was visiting London’s Spirit of Christmas Fair.
5.
Fast forward to June 2006. The future Duchess attended a polo match as she was enjoying the English summer. She was wearing a colorful knee-length dress for the occasion.
6.
Kate has always known how to make the most of any kind of garment, no matter how simple it is. Proof of that is this picture, which was taken in July 2006. She was wearing low-rise white pants and a beige sweater. Sometimes less is more — if you know how to combine your clothes, that is!

Spring is always a fashionable time of the year. Look at Kate Middleton back in March 2007, totally rocking the bourgeois-bohème look with high boots and a stylish beret that reminds us of the sixties. We love it!

It’s now June 2008. Kate Middleton, once again, chose the perfect outfit to wear to a polo match that she attended to see her then-boyfriend, Prince William, play with his team.

15.
Now it is October 2010. Kate Middleton and Prince William were spotted together when they arrived at a wedding. She was wearing a beautiful sapphire blue dress combined with a blazer and black stiletto heels that stole the show.
16.
And finally, we’ve reached one of the highlights of the many royal events. On November 16th, 2010, Kate Middleton and Prince William announced their engagement. The so-called little blue dress that the Duchess of Cambridge wore became an instant hit. So much so that it was sold out within 24 hours of the announcement.

We at Bright Side applaud the hard work that parents put into raising their children. Here are some of the signs that you’re doing a great job parenting, that can help improve your relationship with your kids and make them better people.
1. You instill 2-way communication.
According to researchers at MIT and Harvard, it is crucial for parents to have back and forth communication with their children. One of the simplest, but most meaningful ways to start this communication is to look your child directly in the eyes when you talk to them and when they talk to you. This gives your child a sense that you are readily listening to them, while at the same time gives them the motivation to speak to you.
2. You are humble enough to apologize.
Naturally, arguments and fights can occur between you and your child, and both of you might be interested in playing the victim. However, it is important for parents to understand when it is their turn to apologize.

Studies show that supportive parents are a major factor in the future success of their children.
4. You maintain schedules.
Knowing what will happen in their day gives your child a sense of safety, confidence, and control. Implementing schedules for your children at a young age with things like mealtimes, pick-ups from school or daycare, naptime, and bedtime, builds trust between you and your child, so they know what to expect and when to expect you. In older children, a routine instills discipline and structure in their lives, which in the long run teaches them to be more independent and accountable for their tasks. Studies show that having meals together as a family makes children happier and teaches them to be better communicators.

A parent is a child’s first teacher.

Reading books before bedtime or having fun during playtime not only enriches your children’s lives and experiences, but it allows you to devote quality time to them, allowing them to feel your love, time, and care.

It is the duty of a parent to protect and provide for their children, but being overprotective and always giving in to your child’s wants can lead to a teenager and adult with a bad disposition. Studies show that overprotective parenting encourages children to lie, become manipulative, and be fearful of taking on risks and new experiences. It is important for parents to gauge when they should take a step back and allow their child to make their own decisions, take action, and figure things out on their own. However, you must also remember to be there during their failures and help them figure out what went wrong and how they can do better next time.
