"The woman who sat in front of him had been everything at one time. Until the real Sarah Collins unveiled herself. A manipulative bitch. A woman willing to take a secret to her grave. A person who would go to extreme lengths to ruin lives. She had been the woman Max had loved.

All the things he had been oblivious to since he had met her were now clear. She wasn’t the kind-hearted girl he had helped when he was eight. The one who sat on her doorstep crying as her parents fought. He saw the sad girl. He knew how nice she was underneath it all, but everyone else hadn’t.

Everyone saw the true Sarah while Max had been in denial.

For as long as Max had known Sarah, she had never been much of a crier. The first time had been when they were eight. But then he saw her shed tears when the truth of her ways came to light. She had told Clara a lie that broke her and Noel apart. Max had ended it with her when he discovered what a blackened heart she had. That was when she had cried. It took seventeen years until he saw those tears of hers again. She had never shown an inch of emotion and never given much in the companionship department. Max had never been an option for her.

Instead, his best friend, Alex Lawrence, had. She had chosen the star footballer and the brains. The same man who went to Stanford while Max stayed in Melbourne.

“I wish I had never done it, Max.
I can’t do this anymore. I can’t keep feeling this pain. I don’t want to be without you,” she sobbed.

He knew she meant it. Sarah had never shown more than her bitchy side. Max had thought it was a portrayal—something to hide behind. A defence mechanism. But he had learnt the hard way that it wasn’t a façade. It was real. It was her. All of her.

A heartless bitch.

Max stood from the dining chair where he sat. She had called him in the middle of a client meeting mumbling and threatening self-harm if he did not see her immediately. The love he thought he felt had him excusing himself and driving across the city to her Docklands apartment. The love he thought she felt for him had him at her door. What he had expected was a remorseful woman, not a soulless and sinister woman in lingerie.

It was an act.

One he fell for.

She was quite the actress.

That and his love for her had made him a blind man.

Love made him a terrible person.

And love made him betray his best friends."

[SESSÃO DE RESENHAS] Filme: Lucy

    O filme francês, Lucy é do ano de 2014 e pertence ao gênero ficção científica. É estrelado por nomes como Scarlett Johansson e Morgan Freeman.     É um filme que particularmente a mim, desde que vi, não sai da minha mente, quebro a cabeça sempre por causa do enredo, até entender. Claro, sempre tenho em mente a base da “lição” do filme, do tamanho da “metáfora” que o roteirista montou em cima do filme. Mas, ainda acredito que dentro dessa resenha faltará algo, mas vamos lá!      Lucy, personagem pela qual a atriz Scarlett Johansson interpreta, é uma “mula” de drogas, pessoas pelas quais carregam droga dentro de si para exportação da mesma em outros países, sem ser detectada, no qual mafiosos estão envolvidos. Esta droga, no entanto é um tipo de nova droga, são pedras azuis brilhantes. Ela acaba sendo presa até o dia da partida dela para outro país, junto com outras mulas. Um dos mafiosos então decide querer abusá-la, porém a  mesma, acaba negando, o que leva ao homem to
