Alright, the image on top is a French show which apparently just made its debut a few weeks ago, called L'Hôpital. You can watch episodes online here, at the TF1 site. While I'll get to it in a second, even the appearances of these main characters is eerily similar.Since I recently became a huge Grey's Anatomy (bottom image) fan, I got super sucked in this season -- make that last season as the next season begins in ONE WEEK! I've heard that this French series is very similar and so I figured why not start with the pilot episode? From what I can understand, and that's when nothing else is going on to distract me in the background and when I'm mentally repeating each word in my head, there are some surgical interns who go through their daily lives at Le Grand Ouest emergency -- including one of the intern's attraction to Frank Moreno, this series' McDreamy if you will.
Maybe when I'm more compelled to exhaust all of my attention and focus, I'll try to watch more than a quarter of an episode. French films and t.v. shows are slightly increasing my vocabulary, but I'm still getting extremely let down with the amount that goes over my head. If it's this much of a struggle right now, imagine what it'll be in ten days' time. The one thing I can say in my defense that watching a medical show means a plethora of medical and surgical jargon. I can barely understand half of that in English let alone French. Perhaps if I watch more, it'll ensure me a little bit of luck the first time I have to pay a little visit to a French doctor/ER... if it ever comes down to that.
And since I'm on the topic of films, last night I just watched Jeux d'enfants which I'm still trying to make up my mind on. I think I really liked it, though the ending kind of went from a very confusing moment which could have been the end, to a neatly-wrapped up finish. Either way, it was cute and I loooove the main actress -- the chick from Big Fish. So overall I retain a general good vibe from the movie and a warm sensation in my heart for the two characters at the end of their journey -- me being the hopeless romantic that I am!
