American play: Expressionism

1. above all based on realism

2. core: dealing with spiritual, subjective, inner reality and unconsciousness

3. naturalistic drama: pessimistic realism/ expression!istic drama: psychological realism

4. limits of realism as scientific materialism: writers of the late 19c: objective reality in views of scientific ways leading to 'life as it is'/ lack of inner reality concerned with archetypal and religional elements

5. conclusion: expression!istic drama as preferred to spiritual value rather than material value

6. symptoms up to expression!ism:

- Henry Ibsen(1826-1906,Norway): realism/ problem play: En dukkehjem(the House of doll)

- Nietsche(1844-1900): "Realism in art is an illusion."

- Van Gogh(1853-1890): impressionistic views for Things(expression!ism has more distortion and abstractness than impressionism)

7. characteristics of expression!istic play:

- biographical element

- type character through protagonist's view stemming from archetypes(The Poet, the lawyer, the father, the priest)

- illogical and fragmental dialogue/ soliloquy loyal to inner reality or unconsciousness / non- lineal or circular plot / mise-enscene(setting): centered on colors, lighting, sound

- themes: solipsistic view of life

8. romanticism vs. expression!ism:

- romanticism in quest of freedom and imagination dissatisfied with 18c rationalism

- expression!ism returning to spiritual world fed up of 20c material world

Hotel Rwanda - ★★★★★

Drector : Terry George
Plot:
The film Hotel Rwanda, set in 1994, is based on the Rwandan genocide, in which an estimated 800,000 people, mainly Tutsi and moderate Hutus, were killed by Hutu militias.[3] In the film, tensions between the Hutu and Tutsi people lead to a civil war in which the Tutsis are massacred because of their former rule over the nation. Paul Rusesabagina (Don Cheadle), the manager of Sabena Hotel des Mille Collines, is torn between the sides as he is Hutu but his wife, Tatiana (Sophie Okonedo), is Tutsi. His marriage paints him a traitor by fellow Hutu, including George Rutaganda, a supplier to the hotel and Hutu zealot who unsuccessfully presses Paul to join the Interahamwe, an extremist anti-Tutsi militia.
Upon the eve of the civil war, Paul’s neighbors and family look to him for leadership, and he must deliver them from the ruthless Hutu who are determined to wipe out the Tutsis. After bartering with a high-ranking officer for the safety of his friends and family, Paul brings them to his hotel. More refugees flood into the hotel as the United Nations's refugee camp becomes either too dangerous or too crowded to be safe. The hotel also becomes overcrowded, and Paul must divert the Hutu soldiers, care for the refugees, and maintain the hotel.
The UN Peacekeeping forces, led by Colonel Oliver (Nick Nolte), are ineffectual against the Interhamwe despite Oliver's constant attempts to help Paul, his sympathy towards the refugees, and his disdain for the non-caring world powers.
As the Interhamwe advance on the hotel, the stress begins to take its toll on Paul and his family. The UN forces attempt to lead several of the refugees out, including Paul's family, but are turned back after a fight with the Interhamwe. In a last ditch effort to save the refugees, Paul speaks to the Hutu army general, Augustin Bizimungu (Fana Mokoena) and attempts to blackmail him with threats of being tried as a war criminal. Bizimungu agrees and they return to the hotel, only to find it under siege. Bizimungu's forces bring an end to the chaos as Paul frantically looks for his wife and family. Paul finds them hiding in a bathroom, and they and the hotel refugees leave in a UN convoy that travels through retreating Hutu refugees and militia to reach safety behind Tutsi rebel lines. As the film concludes, Paul finds his two young nieces, whose parents were never found, and takes them along with his family on a bus departing the country.

My resualt is...

Michel Gondry and his works...

Michel Gondry is famous directer in the world.
I like him and his works.
He was born in Versailles, France.
His career as a filmmaker began with creating music videos for the French rock band Oui Oui, in which he also served as a drummer. The style of his videos for Oui Oui caught the attention of music artist Björk, who asked him to direct the video for her song "Human Behaviour". The collaboration proved long-lasting, with Gondry directing a total of seven music videos for Björk. Other artists who have collaborated with Gondry on more than one occasion include Daft Punk, The White Stripes, The Chemical Brothers, The Vines, Steriogram, Radiohead, and Beck. Gondry has also created numerous television commercials. He pioneered the "bullet time" technique later adapted in The Matrix,[1] notably in his "Like a Rolling Stone" video for the Rolling Stones and a 1998 commercial for Smirnoff vodka, as well as directing a trio of inventive holiday-themed advertisements for clothing retailer Gap, Incorporated.
I like his film too.
For example 'The Sience of sleep' and 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' so on...
Following videoes are musig video of daftpunk and Chemical brothers .
they are very interesting and creative!!

Happiness

I think hapiness is sujective thing and arise from little things.
For example, I feel happy when I do eating delicious food, sleeping my bed,
listening music, being with my family, ... There is many other cases.
So I think hapiness depends on people's affimative view and mind.
I may very happy even though other poeple judge my situation is unfortunate .
Hapiness is not far away.
If we chnge our mind, we maybe find hapiness easy.
However, these days I think 'Is that true hapiness?'
I think that real hapiness comes after some painful endeavor.
I'd like feel real hapiness.

John Lennon - Imagine

Imagine there's no heaven
it's easy if you try
No hell below us
above us
only sky
Imagime all the people
living for today ahaa-

Imagine there's no countries
it isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
and no religion too
Imagime all the people
living life in peace -- you

You may say I'm a dreamer
but I'm not the only one
I hope someday
you'll join us
and the world will be one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed nor hunger
a brotherhood
of man
Imagine all the people
sharing all the world-- you

You may say I'm a dreamer
but I'm not the only one
I hope someday
you'll join us
and the world will be one

Paper craft - Origami Architecture !!

I want to Introduce funny site to you~
Origami is the Japanese art of paper folding.

In the 1980s, origamic architecture was originated with Masahiro Chatani.
Iafter that it has developed by Ingrid Siliakus , Marivi Grandma and other paper engineers.

Origamic architecture involves the three-dimensional reproduction of architecture, geometric patterns, and everyday objects, on various scales, using cut-out and folded paper, usually thin cardboard. Visually, these creations are comparable to intricate 'pop-ups', indeed, some works are deliberately engineered to possess 'pop-up'-like properties.

In these site, you can download patterns and you can make them easy yourself.

He is one of famous artist in the world.
I'm have a interest about light.
That is one of reosons why I like his work.
Monet is French impressinist painter.
He broke himself from the tradition of art and opened a new era of light.
He painted directly from nature and wanted to capture the momentary effects of color and
light in his paintings.
When I saw his paintings first time, I was deeply moved.
I hope to go to france and appreciate his original paintings.
