Dear Gloria,
How have you been?
I need your help, please.
The excerpt below shows some specific expressions in English which I am finding trouble to translate:
"Life as you know it is a picture show. Picture show used to be an expression used for movies, yet moving pictures took over. Commonality made the choice. The expression picture show implies a still photo, whereas movies indicate pictures moving"
The text goes on comparing the the words picture and movies, as in stillness and movement.
I could not find similar words in Portuguese to express this idea. What I could think of is to compare the stillness of the pictures themselves to the movement of the films, but not the words.
What do you suggest?
Thank you so much for your support.
Love,
