The cat is on the table

Grazie a Sissi per essersi prestata per la lezione.

Danke, Mama :D für den Einkauf!! ;) Es leben die Niederlande! :)

"Mio caro angelo Sissi,
per tre care celestiali lettere ho da ringraziarti, lettere che mi rallegrano infinitamente. Tu mi scrivi così spesso e così esaurientemente che io per questo conforto non potrò mai esserti abbastanza grato. Tu fai tante cose buone ed esaudisci tutti i miei desideri, Dio ti ricompensi.
Ho già notizie da Vienna riguardo all'impressione eccellente che fa il tuo apparire e come tu rincuori tutta la gente e la sostieni.
Continua così per amor mio, mi aiuti con ciò enormemente. Abbi coraggio e non affliggerti troppo, anche se non posso venire immediatamente, tuttavia la mia assenza non durerà tanto a lungo ed intanto io penserò incessantemente a te. Adieu, mio amatissimo angelo, bacio te e i bambini purtroppo solo nel pensiero e rimango il tuo fedele Franz".

Leggendo le lettere private che l'imperatore Francesco Giuseppe (1830-1916) spediva alla moglie Elisabetta, entriamo in un mondo sconosciuto, un mondo diverso da quello raccontato nei normali libri di storia.
Il Kaiser, quando scrisse la suddetta aveva 29 anni, si trovava a Verona, nel quartiere generale del suo esercito. Il 24 giugno si combatté la famosa battaglia di Solferino fra le truppe italiane di Vittorio Emanuele II appoggiate da Napoleone III - Regno di Sardegna e Francia - contro l'Austria. Il combattimento fu uno dei più cruenti della seconda metà dell'800, finito con la sconfitta dell'imperatore. Era la seconda guerra d'indipendenza italiana.
Dicevamo delle lettere, in particolare di quelle che scrisse, durante l'assenza da Vienna, alla sua Sissi, lettere piene d'amore, di affettuosità, di tenerezza. Nella sua vita pubblica il Kaiser era un uomo tutto d'un pezzo, ordinato, metodico, preciso, raramente palesava i suoi sentimenti, sentimenti di preoccupazione che riversava invece verso la moglie e i figli.
Scriveva da Verona, in una datata il 9 giugno 1859:

(...) Cosa mangia dunque nostro figlio da che Marianka è via? io penso tantissimo a te e ai bambini (...)

La vita dell'imperatore era dura, difficile, problematica, doveva mantenere uniti 11 Paesi, tutti di cultura e tradizioni diverse. In quegli anni, in Europa si respirava aria di indipendenza, di lotte patriottiche, di guerre di liberazione.
Le sue parole tentavano di incoraggiare la moglie, di darle il suo appoggio morale, invitandola a curarsi e a pensare alla sua salute. Ricordiamo che l'imperatrice, fanatica per avere un buon fisico, spesso iniziava stressanti diete, mangiava il minimo indispensabile, quel poco per farla stare più o meno bene, e nello stesso tempo cavalcava a lungo per sfuggire la melanconia e la monotonia della sua triste vita. Francesco Giuseppe l'esortava a curarsi:

(...) Ma io ti scongiuro risparmiarti, non andare a cavallo così a lungo ... tu ti stanchi troppo altrimenti  e mi diventi troppo magra (...)
[Lettera del 23 giugno 1859, spedita da Villafranca]

Questo dunque, nella vita privata, era il Kaiser, quell'uomo incaricato dal destino come personaggio chiave dell'indipendenza di molti stati, fra i quali l'Ungheria e l'Italia. E le epistole, oltre a darci informazioni precise su come tentava mantenere unito il suo regno, ci illustrano altresì la sua complicata vita familiare.

Rino, curiosando.

Bunim-Murray Prods.' documentary film unit is teaming with producer James Scurlock ("Maxed Out") and director Alexis Spraic for a film expose of the late Larry Hillblom, the globalization pioneer who founded shipping giant DHL. Hillblom disappeared after a 1995 plane crash. With no body ever recovered, a massive battle erupted over his estate. Project follows "Autism: The Musical," the acquisition that launched BMP Films last year. "Autism" premiered at Tribeca and was bought by HBO Documentary Films. With the untitled Scurlock-Spraic project, BMP is getting involved in the filmmaking process at the start.

Disney Channel's preschool "Playhouse Disney" block has put the animated skein "Jungle Junction" in production. Cabler has also given third-season greenlights to Playhouse Disney staples "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" and "My Friends Tigger & Pooh." "Jungle Junction," which will be produced in the U.K., revolves around animals who explore a road-filled jungle -- on wheels. According to the channel, the show teaches individuality and care for the environment. Skein will bow on Disney Channel and Playhouse Disney outlets across the world in 2009.

Miramax Films and producer Scott Rudin have acquired the Rudolph Delson novel "Maynard and Jennica." Playwright-turned-scribe Liz Meriwether will write the screenplay. Published last year by Houghton Mifflin, the novel tracks the courtship of a young couple in New York. Their relationship evolves through the life-changing events of Sept. 11, 2001. The novel has been described as an Annie Hall-like tale of unlikely lovers in Gotham.

Romy Schneider, the Austrian star famous for the hugely popular "Sissi" trilogy of the 1950s playing the 19th-century Bavarian princess who became empress of Austria, has become the subject of two rival biopics. They are a big-screen feature and a high-profile TV production. Jessica Schwarz will play Schneider in Torsten Fischer's "Romy" for SWR, an affiliate of pubcaster ARD. Produced by Berlin-based Phoenix-Film and penned by Benedikt Roeskau, who wrote last year's ARD hit "Side Effects" about the thalidomide scandal of the early 1960s, the $7 million "Romy" is set to start shooting in the fall for a 2009 TV premiere. In parallel singer-actress Yvonne Catterfeld is playing Schneider in Warner Bros.' "Eine Frau wie Romy" ("A Woman Like Romy") helmed by Josef Rusnak. Raymond Danon, who produced Schnedier's last film, 1982's "Le Passante du Sans-Souci" (‘The Passerby’), is producing the $36 million French-German co-pro with Douglas Welbat ("Seven Dwarves"). Pic starts shooting in July and is scheduled to hit screens next year.

Lionsgate has stepped up to make screen scribe Stuart Gibbs' debut novel, "The Last Equation." An action thriller, contempo story pivots on government agents, a criminal and a math whiz on a quest to find a buried Albert Einstein formula that could harness energy with deadly consequences. Production will be overseen for Lionsgate by veep Jim Miller. Miller moved over last month from Mandate Pictures, a Lionsgate subsi

PROJECT UPDATES

Dennis Quaid, Tyrese Gibson, Jon Tenney, Charles S. Dutton, Lucas Black, Kate Walsh, Adrianne Palicki, Kevin Durand and Willa Holland will join Paul Bettany in "Legion," the Screen Gems thriller that marks the feature directing debut of Scott Stewart. Shooting is about to get under way in New Mexico. David Lancaster and Michel Litvak produce through their Bold Films banner, and Gary Michel Walters is exec producer. Scripted by Stewart and Peter Schink, the thriller casts Bettany as the archangel Michael, the only one standing between mankind and an apocalypse, after God loses faith in humanity. Man's lone hope rests with a group of strangers who must deliver a baby they realize is Christ in his second coming. Deals for Quaid, Gibson and Tenney are being finalized and the rest of the cast is set.

Summit Entertainment has given life to "The Tomb," buying Miles Chapman's script and signing Jeff Wadlow to direct. Story centers on the world's foremost authority on structural security, who's forced to escape from the master prison of his own design and use every trick up his sleeve to find the person who put him there. Jason Keller is rewriting. Project marks Wadlow's second collaboration with Summit following "Never Back Down." That film, which he helmed, opened earlier this month as Summit's first inhouse production to go into theaters. Summit prexy of production Erik Feig said he's hopeful that "The Tomb" can serve as a franchise starter, with the protag as an action hero who uses brains, not brawn, to get out of trouble. Wadlow also co-wrote and directed "Cry Wolf," and Keller rewrote the screenplay for "The Tourist."

Francis Ford Coppola has teamed with Spanish shingle Tornasol Films and Italy's BIM Distribuzione to co-produce his previously announced Argentinean immigration tale "Tetro." Speaking at a press conference in Buenos Aires on Wednesday, Coppola described the $15 million project as "small, indie and personal." Coppola will direct from his own screenplay, which was stolen with his computer from his Buenos Aires home in September but for which he had backup copies. He produces via his Buenos Aires-based Zoetrope Argentine. Lensing starts March 31 in La Boca, a poor district of Buenos Aires, and will continue in the capital before moving to the Andean foothills of Patagonia. Shooting will move to Spain's Ciudad de la Luz studios in Alicante in mid-May.

Yvan Attal and Valeria Bruni Tedeschi will star in "Regrets," by Gallic helmer Cedric Kahn ("Red Lights, "Roberto Succo"). Attal ("The Serpent", "Rush Hour 3") will topline as Mathieu, an introvert in his 40s who, following the death of his mother, starts a new relationship with Maya, his high school girlfriend played by Valeria Bruni Tedeschi ("Actresses", "A Good Year"). The $6.5 million production brings the two French thesps together for the first time since Steven Spielberg's "Munich" in 2005.

It's scheduled to hit theaters later in the year under the Danger After Dark label.

BUSINESS NEWS

Get ready for Paramount the videogame publisher. The studio has expanded its interactive department team and is putting together a slate of games that it will partially or completely finance and for which it will more directly oversee development. Games will be based either on new Par films or catalog titles. Details on Par's inaugural self-published or co-published games weren't available, but the first few are expected to come out later this year. Studio is looking to invest in all types of videogames but is particularly interested in casual, handheld and mobile games, as they can be made for only a few million dollars, compared with the $20 million or more it costs to produce a title for the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360.

"CSI: Miami" scribe Sunil Nayar has sealed a two-year, seven-figure deal with CBS Paramount Network TV to continue on the crime drama while also developing skeins. As part of the pact, Nayar is developing a project for the studio's sister CBS net. The Eye has given Nayar a blind, mid-six-figure penalty against that next piece of development. Nayar will also be bumped up to exec producer of "CSI: Miami" next season. The writer was previously co-exec producer on the show.

Culver City-based vfx shop Rhythm & Hues, which won the 2008 Oscar as the lead effects shop on "The Golden Compass," has opened a facility in Hyderabad, India. Some 100 of the 210 employees at R&H's Mumbai facility moved to the new location. The two facilities now sport a total of about 250 employees, and more expansion is planned. R&H's India facilities are teaming with its California HQ on "The Incredible Hulk" and "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor."

As stock trading breaks out across the Arab world, so too has Arab business television. During the past five years, once-nascent regional markets have been ignited by high oil prices, and more than half a dozen satellite channels have been launched to feed audiences' thirst for business news. While a crop of newer channels, such as the Arabian Business Channel, Stock TV and Decision Makers, have all failed to produce a significant amount of programming despite ambitious plans announced in the press, the following channels are booming: CNBC Arabiya - Launched in 2003, CNBC's affiliate was the region's first all-business channel and remains the largest. The Dubai-based broadcaster maintains bureaus in Abu Dhabi, Cairo, Riyadh, Jeddah, Bahrain, Doha, Kuwait, London and Singapore. It employs 200, "most of which are editorial," says sales director Omer Ghani. Al-Arabiya - Following the rapid increase in stock market activity in 2005, Dubai-based Al-Arabiya made a drastic shift toward business news, offering continuous ticker-framed market coverage throughout the trading day. With a set of daytime business anchors, the channel's 50-strong business editorial staff produces six hours of consecutive finance-related programming each business day. El Eqtisadia - With studios in Saudi Arabia and Dubai, El Eqtisadia offers live coverage of the regional markets with a focus on Saudi Arabia. The channel was launched in 2006 and now employs 22 journalists, according to Dubai operations manager Khaled El Rahahleh. Unlike the anchors on CNBC and Al-Arabiya, many of the station's male and female anchors wear traditional Arabian headscarves Al Aqariya - Launched in 2004 with broad plans to cover the Arab and international real estate industry, Al Aqariya has significantly scaled down its operations, shutting down a recently launched second channel as well as ending carriage on the popular Arabsat satellite network. CEO Rabeea Atatreh describes the moves as cost-cutting measures and says the broadcaster, which had espoused plans to expand into Asian and European markets with an English channel, was now restructuring.

U.S.-based distributor Northstar Media has picked up non-theatrical rights to 21 pics produced by giant-screen company Imax Corp. Northstar will snare worldwide TV, video-on-demand, mobile and broadband rights to the films in the Imax XXI film package. The films include "Tom Hanks Presents Magnificent Desolation: Walking on the Moon 3D," "Space Station," "Into the Deep," "T-Rex: Back to the Cretaceous" and "Blue Planet."

Verse, variety and reality -- that's the magic mix in the elixir Abu Dhabi TV has concocted to relaunch itself as a major pan-Arab broadcaster. First taste of success was "Prince of Poets," a kind of "American Idol" for Gulf region poets that in its first season last year drew millions of eyeballs, scored ratings that overtook those of soccer and was hailed as one of the most successful Arab television shows ever. Nashwa Al-Ruwaini, chief exec of Pyramedia, the production company behind "Poets," promises an even brighter second season with participation stretching beyond the Gulf into the entire Arab world.

Online game developer Gonzo Rosso, a member of the GDH media group, has inked a license deal for its first original title, "Pandora Saga," GDH announced on Thursday.
IP E-Game Ventures has taken Filipino rights for massive multiplayer, online role-playing game, developed by Tokyo-based Headlock and published by Gonzo Rosso. The game, online in Japan since February, pits three nations against each other in a battle for military supremacy. IP E-Games is the online game operations subsid of IPVG, a Filipino IT company. Among its titles is "Ran Online," which was developed in South Korea and is the most popular online game in the Philippines. Gonzo Rosso and IP E-Games plan to use the deal to open more Asian territories to the title. "Pandora Saga" will launch in the Philippines this summer.

Animation house Tatsunoko Prod., creator of iconic 1970s toon series "Speed Racer," unveiled its Mach 5 Line Project for designing merchandise to coincide with the release of the Wachowskis' "Speed Racer" pic in Japan. It will be promoted at the Tokyo Anime Fair, which opened Thursday. Five teams of designers will come up with their own takes on the "Speed Racer" world for the goods -- including clothes, stationery, toys, collectibles and books -- instead of simply copying characters from the old toon show or the new live-action pic. Among the participants are freelance illustrators Gogh Imaizumi, Masahiro Takase and Toru Fukuda; Tatsunoko character designer Suzuka Yoshida; and Devil Robots, a five-person creative team whose work includes figures, toons and picture books. "Speed Racer" is skedded for a July 5 release in Japan, while Mach 5 Line Project goods will hit the stores in June.

Almost one in ten Russian households - 4.7 million out of 49 million -- will have access to digital TV by the end of the year as the medium is rolled out by state and private operators, according to a report published Thursdayby the European Audiovisual Observatory. The government plans to spend up to $15 billion over seven years upgrading terrestrial analog signals to digital although only some 100,000 people are able to tune into digital channels at the moment. They are part of an official DVB-T standard pilot project launched last year, the report "Towards Digital Television in the Russian Federation" said.

Argentina's the Latin Flower Co. has signed an agreement to handle international sales of fiction series for Colombian producer Invento -- the latest move by the new distributor to expand its catalog. Skeins covered under the deal, signed in Buenos Aires by Latin Flower prexy Silvana D'Angelo and Invento international sales director Tina Hernandez, include "Baby Sister" and "El autentico Rodrigo leal" (The Real Rodrigo Leal). Series such as "El inutil," "Juegos prohibidos" and "Marido a sueldo" may come under the deal along with future projects, according to Latin Flower.

The Czech Republic's top terrestrial web, Nova TV, has added three film shows to its new cable channel, Nova Cinema. Station, owned by Central European Media Enterprises, is rolling out magazine show "The Red Carpet Reporter," featuring star gossip and lifestyles; "The Hollywood Reporter" covering film industry news; and "Night of Film Chances" giving exposure to the work of film students. Nova Cinema launched in December, part of what station topper Petr Dvorak describes as a strong commitment to film fan offerings. Terrestrial TV Nova also airs a regular diet of American pics and programs, from "American Beauty" to "Home Improvement." A new 10-episode crime hour on CME's Slovak terrestrial, Markiza, will also launch, with dramatizations of case files, the first such offering since the 1970s.

INDUSTRY MOVES

The Gersh Agency has hired Allison Band as a VP in its talent department. Band moves from UTA, where she worked for 11 years. Band said she will bring with her clients including Jena Malone, Mary Tyler Moore, Teri Polo, Katherine Waterston, Christopher McDonald and Jason Behr.

Continuing to energize its executive suite, MGM has named Becky Sloviter VP of production. Hire is the second announced in two days by Mary Parent, who became chair of the Lion's worldwide motion picture group two weeks ago. Parent, who hired New Line exec Cale Boyter as exec VP on Thursday, has been given the go-ahead by MGM topper Harry Sloan to build a staff to generate films inhouse.

TECHNOLOGY

Bloggers and Internet professionals in Israel plan to launch both organized and ad-hoc protests in upcoming weeks over a new bill calling for the mandatory filtering of content deemed by Israeli parliament as "inappropriate." The ban purports to concern mostly pornography and gambling sites. The bill, written by Orthodox members of Israel's parliament the Knesset, has already passed a first reading and, if not thwarted by its third reading, will be made into law. The bill, nicknamed "The Internet Porn Law," proposes that a committee headed by the minister of communication will form a blacklist of sites that pose a threat to Israeli children. Those sites will then be blocked by ISPs. Filtering will be disabled only if an adult specifically asks for the removal of the service. Opponents of the bill, most of them bloggers who deluged Hebrew-language sites with uproarious comments, say that in the guise of "protection of children" the law will impose censorship on the Internet in Israel, just as in countries such as Iran, China, Burma, North Korea and Saudi Arabia.

Distrib Gaga Communications has launched its Gaga Movie Channel on YouTube, the company announced Thursday. Gaga Movie Channel broadcasts TV ads and trailers on YouTube, beginning with promos for "The Golden Compass," Gaga's biggest B.O. hit this year. Gaga intends to beam content on the site from, not only its own lineup, but also other distribs, including promos for new pics and DVD releases, while respecting the copyrights of its partner companies.

Right-wing Dutch politico Geert Wilders has finally found a home for his controversial anti-Islam short "Fitna" after video-sharing site LiveLeak allowed the 15-minute film to be posted online. "Fitna," whose title is an Arabic word that can be translated as "strife" or "discord" and is usually used in a religious context, has been the subject of heated debate and protests ever since Wilders announced his plans to release it earlier this year. Dutch TV broadcasters refused to air the film following vocal criticism from the Dutch government, forcing Wilders to take the online route. The Net, initially at least, proved as restrictive -- U.S.-based website host Network Solutions shut down Wilders' site pending a probe into whether it contravened its acceptable use policy. LiveLeak's decision to post the film, which features graphic images of terror attacks in New York, London and Madrid and also reproduces the notorious Danish cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed with a bomb on his head, means viewers around the world will now be able to see what the fuss was all about.

Ho ricevuto la sua segnalazione via mail a metà gennaio: l’appello parlava di una cagnetta incrociata con un labrador affamata e abbandonata. Il pomeriggio stesso sono andata a verificare (la casa di Sissi era giusto dietro casa mia)…

Al mio arrivo c’era lei: una cagnolotta bianca con le orecchie buffissime e uno sguardo triste. Era effettivamente abbandonata ma non affamata: mi ero premunita di pappa per cani ma non si è avventata sul cibo come mi aspettavo. E’ stata discreta nel mangiare. E poi ho capito: a Sissi mancava la presenza umana, le mancavano le coccole, le carezze, le parole dolci, l’affetto… Non le interessava troppo del cibo: si metteva sul muretto del giardino per farsi coccolare.
Ma, dal lato pratico, non aveva un riparo. E ha patito tanto di quel freddo che al solo pensarci mi si gela il cuore…

Da quel momento tutti i giorni Sissi aveva 15 minuti di coccole e la pappa fresca: o da Marius o da me (o da Silvia -quando son stata fuori Roma- che ringrazio di cuore).
Qualche volta Marius ha scavalcato per sistemare al meglio il posto in cui lei si riparava: l’alloggiamento della caldaia.
E lo sguardo nel momento in cui andavo via non lo scorderò mai…

E’ entrata in ballo la polizia ecozoofila, prima ancora il NIRDA, ho fatto girare l’appello di Sissi in ogni dove. Volevo trovarle una sistemazione: volevo che avesse affetto come meritano tutti i puzzi del mondo. E lei.. Lei mi è entrata dentro. Forse come Mirtilla.
E anche lei, come Mirtilladelmiocuore, mi ha dato una forza pazzesca. Forza per non mollare, per insistere, per non permettere che mi fermassi davanti a tutti i problemi che inesorabilmente venivano fuori.
Sembrava non ci fosse soluzione: sembrava che Sissi dovesse rimanere in quel giardino…

Grazie a Isa Sissi ha trovato casa. A Modena.
Mercoledì della settimana scorsa Marius ed io abbiamo portato via Sissi dal suo giardino. Lei era un po' intimorita ma si vedeva che era serena...
Grazie a Cesj la clinica veterinaria ci ha accordato un prezzo ottimo per sterilizzazione e ricovero fino al venerdì successivo.
E poi, dopo un bel bagno secco per toglierle la vecchia vita e farle affrontare alla grande il futuro, Sissi è arrivata con me e Monica a casa di Ale da cui siamo partite sabato mattina per la sua casa. Ad attenderla un signore che la tratterà come una principessa e che non vede l’ora che arrivi!

Venerdì pomeriggio siamo andati a prenderla dalla clinica veterinaria: la dottoressa era letteralmente innamorata di lei. L'ha salutata con tanto affetto, l'ha baciata, l'ha accarezzata e si è raccomandata che i nuovi padroni fossero persone che l'avrebbero tenuta bene e naturalmente a vedere tanto affetto così per questa cagnetta che nessuno voleva mi ha fatto emozionare.
 
Siamo partiti alla volta di casa di zia Ale (grazie grazie grazie di tutto!): Sissi è stata fatta accomodare nella stanza in cui avrei dormito anche io, le abbiamo fatto lo shampoo secco, le abbiamo preparato ciotole con acqua e pappa umida. Il tempo di andare a mangiare e al momento di rientrare in stanza l'abbiamo vista accomodata sul letto che avrebbe diviso con me... Mi ha fatto una tenerezza...

La notte è andata bene: la meraviglia ha dormito con me e ha trattenuto la pipì per tutta la notte (con mia apprensione, lo ammetto).

La mattina alle 6 ci siamo alzate e l'abbiamo fatta uscire per i bisogni. Dopo la colazione siamo partite per il viaggio più importante di Sissi. Io seduta dietro con Lancillotto il dormiente e Sissi sistemata alla grande nel portabagagli della macchina di zia Ale con divisorio.

Durante il viaggio ci siamo fermate un paio di volte per farle fare i bisogni. Lei è stata un angelo. Tranquilla e silenziosa... Scendeva subito quando ci fermavamo ma aveva difficoltà nel risalire in auto (forse qualche doloretto per l'intervento di sterilizzazione).

Siamo poi finalmente arrivati a San Felice sul Panaro: i suoi nuovi padroni sono davvero eccezionali. Avevano preparato per lei una stanza con una cuccia nuova, ciotole con crocchi e acqua e un bel guinzaglio tutti di un bel colore blu! L'aspettavano da giorni e ho visto nei loro occhi l'Amore. L'amore che Sissi non ha mai avuto e che forse non sa neanche della sua esistenza. Vedere il suo nuovo padrone che la chiamava, che l'accarezzava tutta e che le parlava mi ha fatto davvero emozionare. Sissi avrà una stanza tutta per sè, avrà amore, avrà amici pelosi con cui giocare, avrà coccole a profusione e soprattutto avrà presenza umana. Tutte cose che le sono mancate in questi mesi e tutte cose che ogni peloso dovrebbe avere.

Sissi ha guadagnato una vita migliore. Io ho guadagnato la consapevolezza che le adozioni del cuore esistono, che una cagnotta adulta può trovare una casa e amore se solo si crede ai miracoli.

Con Mirtilla avevo iniziato a crederci. Con Sissi ora lo so: i miracoli esistono. E siamo noi a realizzarli: basta crederci. E basta non essere da soli!

Grazie alle mie amiche di viaggio. Grazie per le risate che mi avete regalato: questa giornata è stata davvero bellissima anche grazie a voi. Grazie a Cesj che è stata presente con i messaggi e con la telefonata riassuntiva...
Questo è il mio grazie alle persone che sono entrate in questa storia: persone a cui già volevo bene e che mi hanno dimostrato interesse, affetto, disponibilità e presenza.

Grazie infinite da me.
E naturalmente da Sissi.

Buona vita, Sissi. Ci rivedremo presto! Ti voglio bene e ti porto nel cuore!

Ti ringrazio anticipatamente per una tua eventuale risposta.

Elokuva on oikeastaan yksi suuri klisee, eikä se siitä johtuen kestä kovin syvällistä tarkastelua, mutta eihän elokuvan syvällinen tarkastelu ole välttämättä kovinkaan tärkeää. Ei ainakaan tässä tapauksessa. Elokuvan parasta antia on ehdottomasti se tunnelma, joka kumpuaa Sissin tarinasta ja Romy Schneiderin persoonasta.

Elokuvan suomenkielisessä käännöksessä on pieni, mutta silmiin pistävä virhe. Kun keisari Franz Josephin syntymäpäivävastaanotolla kuulutetaan keisarin täti Saksin kuningatar saapuvaksi, on tekstittäjä kirjoittanut kuningaskunnan väärin. Suomessa kuningaskunnan nimi kirjoitetaan ''Saksi'' eikä ''Sachs''. Kääntäjä on siis käyttänyt saksankielistä muotoa valtion nimestä. Kääntäjät tekevät yllättävän paljon virheitä Pyhän Saksalais-Roomalaisen valtakunnan osien ja sen hajoamisen seurauksena muodostuneiden ruhtinaskuntien nimissä. Kaiketi nämä virheet johtuvat ruhtinaskuntien verrattaen lyhyestä olemassaolosta ja toisaalta myös niiden pienuudesta.

Paluumatkalla kävin LIDLIstä ostamassa litran jäätelöä ja pussin sipsejä. Jäätelön söin katsellesani Amelieta ja sipseistä osaa päätyi suihini Sissin aikana. Sekä Amelie että Sissi ovat ihania elokuvia. Voin suositella molempia. Aiemmin jo olen huomannut, että Ihminen on kuin Amelie, mutta tänään tajusin ketä Ystävä muistuttaa. Ystävä on kuin nuori keisarinna Sissi. Tänään on ollut hyvä päivä ja sellaisena se saa jatkua.
