No reason is given, and in fact it is obvious that no reason exists for him to be sick or ready to die. give us a break! His home is literally 30 feet from a fresh water lake (and certainly has his own water well, since he is far out in the countryside). Almost at the end of the movie, when they go way out into the countryside to relax in a cabin on a lake, they encounter an old man who is still alive. They just wander around and repeat endlessly "I don't know what to do". But they are geniuses compared to the screenplay writers! Nothing happens in this movie. Then they do a bit of relaxing and driving around (like on vacation). All they do is wander around looking for other humans for a few days. That would make sense (if they want to find other humans). What happened? Where did all the human bodies go? What will they decide to do? Stay in Iceland? Try to find a way to get back to north America? Do they go to a radio or TV station and broadcast a message (continuously on a loop) asking anyone remaining to call them? No. At this point, I'm rubbing my hands together because this kind of setup inherently has endless fabulous questions to answer and possibilities. When they check the internet, they notice that no messages on forums or news stories exist after about 3:30am (their time). In this movie, two American tourists wake up one morning while on vacation in Iceland. These kinds of movies automatically contain endless possibilities for interesting, fascinating situations and behavior. I also love movies about "solitude", or take place in an environment of extreme "solitude". I must start this short review with a disclaimer. ![]() All in all a mixed film that I personally believe, needed to offer a little more focus, to have broad appeal but is still an interesting watch nonetheless. In this respect this film really is quite outstanding. Its wide screen cinematic's are really quite breath taking when combined with Iceland's exceptional, rugged natural beauty. What is remarkable, is the visual quality of this film. The problem with this film is its so quiet and so subtle, that is, out of focus, that its very understandable, that its meaning may be overlooked.Personally I liked Bokeh but I can fully appreciate why others may not be so taken with it. Indeed, as the only supporting character hints at, we are "one and one and one". One see's the beauty and opportunity in their newfound "freedom", whilst the other simply feels constrained, isolated and oppressed by it. As the film unfolds, what it means to be alive clearly has different meanings, for the main characters. Most specifically, its true message, as I understand it, is about the meaning of "existence". It's message has a diffused quality that's difficult to pinpoint. Certainly, there is much about this film that's out of focus. Its an appropriate starting point, when discussing this film. ![]() Bokeh is a Japanese term that describes out of focus points of light. ![]()

In late 2002, job seekers and students started making interactive résumés such as résumés having links, clickable phone numbers and email addresses. Ī résumé is a marketing document in which the content should be adapted to suit each individual job application or applications aimed at a particular industry. Acronyms and credentials after the applicant's name should be spelled out fully in the appropriate section of the résumé to increase the likelihood they are found in a computerized keyword scan. ![]() Many résumés contain keywords or skills that potential employers are looking for via applicant tracking systems, make heavy use of active verbs, and display content in a flattering manner. In many contexts, a résumé is typically limited to one or two pages of size A4 or letter-size, highlighting only those experiences and qualifications that the author considers most relevant to the desired position. ![]() With the launch of YouTube in 2006, Video résumés became common, and more and more high school students began to send them to different colleges and universities. These usually provide templates to insert credentials and experience and create a résumé to download or an online portfolio link to share via social media. Other than LinkedIn, several other SaaS companies are now helping job seekers with free online résumé builders. In 2003 LinkedIn was launched, which allowed users to post their resumes and skills online. The start of the 21st century saw a further evolution for résumés on the internet as social media helped people spread résumés faster. It was not until the 1970s, the beginning of the Digital Age, that résumés took on a more professional look in terms of presentation and content. By 1950, résumés were considered mandatory and started to include information like personal interests and hobbies. In the early 1900s, résumés included information like weight, height, marital status, and religion. For the next 450 years, the résumé continued to be simply a description of a person, including abilities and past employment. Leonardo da Vinci is sometimes credited with the first résumé, though his "résumé" takes the form of a letter written about 1481–1482 to a potential employer, Ludovico Sforza. The word "résumé" comes from the French word résumer meaning 'to summarize'. In South Asian countries such as Pakistan and Bangladesh, biodata is often used in place of a résumé. The curriculum vitae used for employment purposes in the UK (and in other European countries) is more akin to the résumé-a shorter, summary version of one's education and experience-than to the longer and more detailed CV that is expected in U.S. The résumé is usually one of the first items, along with a cover letter and sometimes an application for employment, which a potential employer sees regarding the job seeker and is typically used to screen applicants, often followed by an interview. Ī typical résumé contains a summary of relevant job experience and education. Résumés can be used for a variety of reasons, but most often they are used to secure new employment.

Xerxes’ army may have numbered between 300,00 and 500,000 soldiers (although many modern historians put the number rather lower), and given the poor farmland of much of Greece, the fleet played a vital role of carrying provisions for the army.Īt Thermopylae, a force of 5-7,000 men drawn from various Greek communities encountered Xerxes’ army. To avoid a repeat of earlier Persian mistakes in the 1 st and 2 nd Persian Wars, Xerxes sent an army overland through Thrace and Macedon into Thessaly, while sending a fleet to follow along the coastline. In 480, during the 3 rd Persian War, the Persians under the direction of King Xerxes invaded Greece. The Historical Battle of Thermopylae Let’s start with a brief recap of the known facts about the battle of Thermopylae. Because of this, they will tend to assume that the movie is based directed on the historical event. any of those who have seen the movie have not read the graphic novel. While the movie owes a great deal to its source material, it must rise or fall on its own merits. But my purpose is to evaluate the movie as history, not as an adaption of a literary work. And yes, before you ask, I do know that the movie is based on Frank Miller’s graphic novel. ![]() But just because I hate this movie doesn’t mean there might not be some merit in it.

First off, let me say that I hated this film with a passion. The film I’m going to tackle is 300 (2006, dir. Instead, since this is the first question I’m usually asked, I’m going to start this blog by picking a film and just asking, does the film get the basic facts right? Whenever I get into a discussion about a historical film with someone, perhaps one of my students, a friend, or a casual acquaintance, usually the first question I get asked is “is the film historically accurate?” I have a lot of thoughts about the issue of historically accurate films, but I’ll leave most of them for another day. In doing so, I hope to illuminate some of the concerns historians have about the way that cinema, one of the most important art forms of our society produces, treats the human past. While when it comes to his off-camera life, the actor has been linked with a number of celebrities till now such as Brandi Glan Ville, Chiara Conti, Jennifer Aniston, Madalina Ghenea and Cameron Diaz.My goal with this blog is to explore the relationship between film and history, to look at film the way a historian does and not the way a member of the general audience or a fan does. In 2007, Gerard received huge amount of international success and recognition from the movie 300 after which he has worked in several blockbuster films till now including Nim’s Island, Gamer, Corilanus and Olympus Has Fallen along with giving voice to characters in a number of animated movies.

Nope! First I've gotta play a bloody elevator braking minigame (seriously), and then. I can imagine this being a nightmare on harder difficulty levels, especially if you're playing a console version with the ridiculous loading times, but on standard difficulty it ain't so bad. If I miss two waves in a row then I'm fucked. Sometimes I get to adjust my aim to shoot down waves of alien fighters as they make a strafing run, but it's more of an irritation than a relief. Oh, I guess all the first person running and gunning is over then? Now it's just gunning as I've been strapped onto a turret and forced to leave my crosshairs aimed at that giant impossible to miss mothership in the background and hold the trigger until the yellow bar goes all the way down. Yeah, why am I still playing pinball anyway when I could be crawling through vents and throwing trophies at aliens! The only thing holding me back right now is me.

Though I'm not entirely sure why I'm here relaxing at home with Duke's girlfriends instead of shooting aliens in the face. so the three of them were basically made for each other. They're offensively rich, impossibly famous, vapid, childish, and they communicate with sexual innuendos. These two are the Holsom twins, (not to be confused with the Olsen twins): a pair of giggling pop stars who seem to love Duke almost as much as he does. It's also a clue that the script was written in 2008. (Clicking the rest of these images will likely give you a better look at them).īut (shocking plot twist), it turns out that the flashback was all just a video game! A video game that took twelve years to make in fact, in an example of self-depreciating meta humour. Daikatana by the way was originally intended to be finished in seven months. To give this list some context, a top tier first person shooter in the mid 90s took on average about a year and a half of development time to get from concept to retail shelves (well, mailboxes in Doom's case) and Duke Nukem Forever was originally intended for release in mid 1998 or earlier. Man, poor Daikatana even its excessive delay was relatively mediocre. Luckily I just so happen to have one right here: unless you have a handy chart full of games to compare it to I guess.

I was eventually able to differentiate homework some of the time, but not as often as I wanted to. I only believe in assigning about 10 minutes of homework a night, so you’d think it’d be quick to pull together, but it wasn’t! I found and made games, activities, and worksheets to give my students meaningful practice opportunities.īut it still took a good bit of time each week to assemble my weekly homework packet. Needless to say, my grand homework plans didn’t exactly happen.Īs the years went on, I slowly assembled a collection of activities to send home. I would have been up all night trying to get together 25 different homework assignments! That year I had students who couldn’t read a Level A book, and other students who were reading beginning chapter books. I could barely manage to get materials ready for the next day, much less find or create engaging homework activities.Īnd differentiation? Yeah, right. After an 8 hour school day with my kiddos (yes, you read that right – those 5 and 6 year olds were at school for 8 hours a day), I was exhausted. My first year teaching Kindergarten, I had an extremely challenging class. I was going to make homework an enjoyable and productive part of my students’ home lives!Īnd then…reality hit. I’d send home different homework for different students, differentiating assignments based upon their needs. I’d give out exciting and engaging assignments (never worksheets). I’d provide families with fun learning games that would bring them together. When I moved up to Kindergarten, I had big dreams about the homework I would assign. You see, before I began teaching Kindergarten, I taught Pre-K. My first year teaching Kindergarten also happened to be the first year that I had ever assigned homework to students. ![]() 1/21/2024 0 Comments Obs studio mac lion![]() ![]() Run WinX HD Video Converter for Mac, click "Screen Recorder" button on the top right section, then the Mac Screen Recorder window will show up.
