The music from the scene of Goncharov’s arrival to Naples. Shortly after the film was released the composer of this piece, Bella Trami, grew tired of working on theatrical scores and began experimenting with electronic music. She became a pioneer of Italo Disco and is considered one of the main influences on Eurobeat—a stark contrast to her earlier work.

It almost looked like they threw a fish upwards into water (the shadowiness of their hand) & it swam off causing a splash of glitter.

I love the term “loanwords” because it implies that you intend to give them back.
*dumps a box full of words on French’s front porch* You never came back for your shit.
Loanwords, loaned to the British Museum so
Would everyone like to know the best thing??? There are two types of borrowed word - loan words and calques. Loan words are words taken directly from the language i.e. tattoo, sushi, guillotine. Calques are words literally translated from the language before being borrowed i.e. beer garden, scapegoat, killer whale (incorrectly calqued, the original actually means whale killer which is a whole other post).
Did anyone notice the fun thing?
Loan word is a calque (German lehnwort lit. Loan+word) and calque is a loan word (French calque - tracing or imitation). Have a good day!
