Anemia How Long To Recover

Alamo



The salvation of Texas depends in great measure on keeping Bexar out of the hands of the enemy. It serves as the frontier guard Picquet, and if it were in the possession of Santa Anna, there is no stronghold from Which to repel him in his march toward the Sabine .... Colonel Neill and myself have come to the solemn resolution that we rather wants in these ditches than give it up to the enemy , writes David Bowie 1836, Henry Smith, the governor of the provisional Texas government. Colonel Bowie was supposed to pick up (the inventor of the Bowie knife, which had previously all Scouts) so only the guns from the mission station in Bexar. Needed by the General Sam Houston for his fight against Santa Anna . But Bowie decided to jointly defend the young Colonel William Barret Travis, the Alamo mission.

Then there is the Colonel Davy Crockett by with a dozen sharpshooters, now they have since three Colonels, Bowie, Travis and Crockett. They all die together today, 175 years ago. They are all national heroes become. Remember the Alamo! is a phrase familiar to every American ( Johnny Cash sang about it) - even if you usually do not really know what was going on. But if need be, we still have the John Wayne film The Alamo from 1960 in which John Wayne plays Davy Crockett, Laurence Harvey to Colonel Travis and Richard Widmark David Bowie. However Hollywood as Historian not necessarily the best source for historical truth, and an American historian has said, short and sweet: there is not a single scene in 'The Alamo' which Corresponds to a historically verifiable incident .

since the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, Americans have always territorial claims filed for today's Texas, but it's a long way to the free Republic of Texas. Now in the Texas Revolution, the fight in the most important phase is entered, because the General Santa Anna, the Constitution of 1824 was repealed. The flag, which he sees in his siege of the mission of Bexar is not yet the famous Lone Star, it is the Mexican flag with the addition 1824. The battle for the Alamo decide nothing, but takes the case of the fort and the death of his defenders, hundreds of volunteers to the small army that builds General Sam Houston.

The decision in the Texas Revolutuion falls a month later at the Battle of San Jacinto in Houston that manages to defeat with his small band of the superiority of the Mexicans. And they probably have it Remember the Alamo! called. Santa Anna is said to have slept through the whole thing, because he amused himself with a beautiful woman who is as Yellow Rose of Texas received in the stories. Historians believe nothing of this story. So that's unfortunately always the best stories are never true. But myths adhere tenaciously, no matter what the historian. The song The Yellow Rose of Texas becomes one of the most popular songs of the American Civil War, and in the 20th Century, everyone has sung. Even Elvis.


Antonio López de Santa Anna fled, disguised as a Mexican farmer, but is captured. Sam Houston gives him life. What is a fail-safe, so he can continue to drive in Mexico on the loose. If you want to know about the largest tourist destination in the U.S., now is not the John Wayne movie. Closer to reality is the film The Alamo of 2004 (which was at the box office is a huge flop), even if I do not believe so completely like that Davy Crockett (played by Billy Bob Thornton) in the face of the Mexican army has played violin . His violin is now in the museum, and you can obviously still play on it. If you want to know all about The Alamo, buy John Myers Myers (the real name) The Alamo. Published in 1948, applied again and again. Only 160 pages long, but well researched and very readable. 1200 no footnotes.

Ken Adam

Congratulations to the 90th Birthday, Sir Kenneth! He was on 5 Born in March 1921 when Klaus Hugo Adam in Berlin. Emigrated with his parents to England when the Nazis came. Studied architecture in England and was a pilot in the Royal Air Force. Since he did not even have British citizenship, was probably the tank-buster Heinie (his nickname) is the only German who flew as a flight lieutenant in the Royal Air Force. After the war, he has landed in the British film industry. And if we are his Name may not know, we all know films for which he has supplied the design.

This is because of him, the miracle car from the movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang . The film is based on a short story by Ian Fleming. Albert J. Broccoli produced it. And Ken Adam has also hired the same for the James Bond films. Since he has invented all the gadgets allegedly tinkering Q for James Bond. Of course all the things, the Aston Martin of James Bond. It was a dream of him to take revenge with such a car to other drivers: Armed Aston Martin also has a little history. For I had at that time, even a sports car, a Jaguar E-Type. But every time I saw him parked in London he was scarred by anyone or even dented. So I took revenge. The gadgets have now become an important part of the James Bond films. But of course I have developed alone. I had a fantastic special effects engineer who has translated all my ideas into reality . Sometimes I would have loved such a car. Since the rat could be of local politicians (Greens), which last year hit my parked car and if it wanted to be the next day not been back, but what to do.

It's amazing how little is known Ken Adam. People like Roland Emmerich, the only turn toasted term disaster films, which knows almost everyone. But who - apart from the film-makers - Ken Adam knows? If you look at the list of movies look where he served as art director or production designer, one can only marvel. I am the eye of the director , Ken Adam once said the production designer is responsible for everything that you see on the screen . If he allows the studio and director. With a detail fanatic like Stanley Kubrick has always been problems. The room was famous from Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (sitting on the floor of Ken Adam) there was still easy.

But Barry Lyndon for the Ken Adam won an Oscar, brought plenty of trouble with it. Adam Kubrick forced all of the 18 knowing century, because this should be a kind of documentary. All the paintings of the time look to know that toothbrushes and condoms were used at that time. The toothbrushes and condoms were not then in the movie. Adam wanted to shoot in studios to generate this better pictures, Kubrick wanted to shoot on location only and no artificial light use. For this first special camera lenses had to be developed. Adam was right, of course, they would hammer out the studio with less effort. Something good had the whole thing for Ken Adam yet, when he, twenty years later the production designer for The Madness of King George was (his second Oscar), he did not need to prepare more special.

Ken Adam is a man of the studios. A sentence like: The studio allows me to create my own reality, is certainly a kind of credo of him. Art directors and production designers are commonly in the development and evaluation of a Film taken far too little. There is a cult of stars and starlets, and some directors are famous (although perhaps less on the performance director as the cameraman or the editor is). Here, a production designer is often more power than the director and stars put together. That will come out of the studio system of the thirties, when the directors were completely irrelevant for a studio. The studio with his production designers and his Studio Style coined the film. The idea of an auteur cinema was completely foreign to Hollywood. It took a long time dream to directors of The Name Above the Title (the title of the autobiography of Frank Capra) could.

Ken Adam, the first series of James Bond films marked, that is, embodied in which Sean Connery James Bond. Actually, that's still a supercooled fifties design, not design this megalomania, which was today's Bond films. We should also remember that apart from the first Bond films, films that show a more realistic picture of espionage. The templates are based on literature, but not on the fantasy world of Ian Fleming, but on the works of authors like John le Carré and Len Deighton. The design of these films is from Ken Adam. The Spy Who Came for in From the Cold , The Ipcress File and Funeral in Berlin he has created an atmosphere that the kitchen sink realism the fifties with the bleakness of the Cold War Berlin in the early sixties combined.

world for many spectators, the Berlin did not know before and after the Wall, Berlin was the Berlin of The Spy Who Came in From the Cold and Funeral in Berlin . Tempelhof Airport Ken Adam has not replicated in the studio (he would probably like to), Funeral in Berlin has a number of field recordings of a real Berlin. But The Spy Who Came in From the Cold is almost a pure studio production, which in the Shepperton Studios near London, and the Ardmore Studios originated in Ireland. Checkpoint Charlie Included.

Ken Adam has another side. And since he is the link between expressionism and postmodernism, between Dr. Caligari and Blade Runner . The underground missile facility You Only Live Twice found - as well as in the room was Dr. Strangelove, the command headquarters of Dr. No and the interior of Fort Knox in Goldfinger - Elements of German Expressionism. Here in the construction of You Only Live Twice sees even a little off after Piranesi Carceri .


This is left here, to illustrate the idea, a picture of Piranesi, two centuries before the films of German Expressionism. This influence Ken Adam has not denied. His older brother was friends with the son of Max Reinhardt: The two are always gone out and took me to every now and then. I was very affected, even though I was only 12 years old. And so I learned Max Reinhardt and know many other people in the German theater. It was an incredible renaissance in Berlin in those years, whether in the theater, in art, film, literature or the Bauhaus. Above all, a film I was particularly affected: "The Cabinet of Dr.Caligari. The film was a collaboration of so many expressionist artists, which I was already very situated. Later, when I started working, I was never quite sure whether or not I for the movie but want to design for the theater. The "Cabinet of Dr.Caligari" has given me the opportunity to find a compromise between the two disciplines. If I like Fort Knox for decoration "Goldfinger" or the tanker for "The Spy Who Loved Me" designing, then this is not so reality. This is my reality, a reality almost theatrical, but applies to the public more often than the reality. For the reality can sometimes be very boring .

We do not mean that reality is sometimes very boring is. But we eventually go to the movies. But compared to the apocalyptic visions of postmodern film Alien to Blade Runner , the triumph of art direction over film direction, Ken Adam has an advance. His imaginary worlds are not created on the computer.

1999, the Victoria & Albert Museum held an exhibition, entitled Ken Adam - Designing the Cold War had . The term Cold War Modern has now been naturalized for his style. Here in this video the V & A he talks about his life and his work. The Queen has defeated him in 2003 for his services to the British film knighted. It is reassuring that in the world of visionary designs are still something like Ancient Knight.

The Peacable Kingdom

lamb and lion amicably alongside each other, children play among big cats. And small in the background is the Quaker William Penn. He has just signed a contract with the Indians. Treaties with Indians! Of these, the Native Americans can even dream of. The picture is from the Quaker Edward Hicks. This is one of the early versions, it is painted 1826th He has painted this scene again and again. We do not know how many images there are, it is estimated that there are eighty (or hundred) have been. Always a little different in the details, but almost always in the background with William Penn. In the design of this scene recalls Hicks returned to a familiar image of an American painter who grew up in a Quaker family.

Benjamin West's William Penn's Treaty image with the Indians when he founded the Province of Pennsylvania in North America is natural history painting in the grand style , which does not Hicks' paintings are. For him, as for many Quakers, the image of the West has long been a symbol of peace. West was not the first that gives this scene design and painting. Only seven years before there was a picture of Jean Michel Moreau. This has become quite well known at that time in Germany because it was engraved by Heinrich Guttenberg 1789 in copper. I wanted to mention the name of G., and certainly after his shameful exit, not really. But the Heinrich Guttenberg I must mention at this time because he is a very popular engraver and this is the time in which to spread the knowledge of images of engravings. On the other hand, the little joke with the bourgeois and aristocratic engraver Guttenberg Guttenberg and trending is too tempting, as I could resist it.

Also from Benjamin West's picture, there has been a widespread copper engraving, which had been completed, the engraver John Hall for the London publisher John Boydell 1775th One can see in this picture of Hicks (William Penn this time only with no lions, lambs and kiddies) that Hicks after the etching, has not worked for the painting. Everything is reversed, the Indians just like the pose of William Penn.

The picture is based, and that was obvious to the pious Quaker Hicks, on a biblical passage in Isaiah 11, 6-8 where it says: The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the kid. A little child shall lead the calf and the lion and the yearling together cow and the bear will go to the pastures, their young will lie down together;. And the lion shall eat straw like the ox . The jump from the Old Testament into America of William Penn the Quaker preacher, Hicks is easy to see how it at all is very common in America thanks to the Puritans and the so-called typology, and current events derive from the Bible.

Here we see a version of the image that The Peaceable Kingdom with the Leopard of Serenity means. Since the menagerie of animals has become much larger. The picture is a few years ago at Sotheby's New York for nearly 10 million U.S. dollars were sold - Hicks sold his pictures for twenty dollars - there is still there but a process. The buyer is suing Sotheby's, because they have driven the price artificially high. Yes, there is no peace among men, peace is only on the picture of Hicks. And all the peace and serenity in the world is the leopard in the middle. These are ten million U.S. dollars but not too much.

In the earliest version of the painting (ca. 1820) is the group of children and predators housed still very small in the right corner. Art historians take it as certain that Hicks, the group of animals with the child and a lion from a copper engraving by the English painter Richard copied Westall. And of course I have a picture immediately. That's the beauty in all the pictures on the internet that one art historical evidence for a response (almost) can always find the right images that illustrate what is said.

This is an early Hicks - with William Penn. Edward Hicks, who had a lucrative business with the painting of carriages, signs and tavern signs, has not, as his colleague Benjamin West and John Singleton Copley as a painter in the world of fine arts seen: If the Christian world was in the real spiririt of Christ, I do not believe there would be such a thing as a fine painter in Christendom. It clearly appears to me to be one of the trifling, insignificant arts Which has never been of any substantial advantage to mankind. Although in Pennsylvania at this time a rich folk art are naïve, you can find any connections from Hicks to these artists . The world of art it seems - like all Quakers - to have no interest. Besides his Peacable Kingdom he rarely painted other. Even George Washington as he crossed the Delaware. And a beautiful Noah's Ark (bottom figure). Otherwise, only farms with cows as the Cornell Farm - a touching picture. Ordering at amazon.com as a reproduction at prices 16-136 dollars.

Click on the picture painted by his nephew Thomas Hicks as a sixteen year old by him (since he is the first year Pupil of his uncle), he is currently playing with the lions in the lower right corner of the canvas on the easel. The almost manic ferocity, the Edward Hicks painting with his Peacable Kingdom has a reason, it is his escape from the religious struggles in the community of Quakers. In which even his older cousin, Elias plays a prominent role. There's just one hundred years in the new world and wants to build a model state - and then something like this. As Edward Hicks clings to the vision of Isaiah and the Treaty of William Penn with the Indians, the vision of a social structure that has a real society of friends is.

He has his picture almost always provided with its own poem. Sometimes (in the tradition of the sign painter) on the frame, sometimes on a printed card that the purchaser was presented: felt

The illustrious Penn his heavenly kingdom;
Then with Columbia's native sons he dealt:
Without an oath lasting a treaty, made
In Christian faith Elmtree's beneath the shade.




330 years ago today, has handed over to the English King Charles II to William Penn all the land from Maryland to the Delaware River as a colony. He had Debt to Penn's father, Admiral William Penn . 16 000 pounds, which would now be several million pounds. Penn wanted his new country first to call New Wales , then Sylvania. But the name has changed in the King Pennsylvania. This was William Penn a little embarrassing, because people might believe, the colony would be after him. The ideal society that he envisioned in which all live in peace holds, not so long ago. Religious conflicts are shaking the colony.

And there is trouble with the neighbors in Maryland, the descendants of Cecilius Calvert, second Lord Baltimore . We can not agree on the demarcation of the boundary. As are brought out two English astronomers and surveyors, Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon draw the famous Mason-Dixon Line through the wilderness. Thanks to Thomas Pynchon's wonderful novel, Mason & Dixon we know all about it.



On this screen now times are no lions, no leopard of serenity . But still, it exudes calm and peace. Everything is in a mysterious light. Whether you find that light in Pennsylvania? Or is it a heavenly light? There is a group of American Painters give to their artistic main feature of such mysterious light. They were called Luminists . One of these Luminists, Martin Johnson Heade, grew up in Bucks County, in the vicinity of Edward Hicks. It is believed that he got his first painting lessons from the Quaker preacher Hicks. Edward Hicks is the founder of the American Luminism? Would be a nice theory, but is not working. About Luminists I write someday again. As an appetizer, there is ever a picture of Martin Johnson Heade with a mysterious light.

Rational Anthem

Today 80 years ago was decided by the U.S. Congress that will be The Star-Spangled Banner the national anthem of the United States. Is difficult to sing. Hillary Clinton it can definitely not. The Americans drive a big effort with their anthem, wrote to the U.S. code: During a rendition of the national anthem - (1) when the flag is displayed - (A) all present except those in uniform should stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart, (B) men not in uniform should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold the headdress at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart, and (C) individuals in uniform should give the military salute at the first note of the anthem and maintain that position until the last note, and (2) when the flag is not displayed, all present should face toward the music and act in the same manner they would if the flag were Displayed .

American soldiers will be punished if touched by the flag parade through clumsy handling of a portion of the flag of the earth. In the army, the guards polished previously with the black portion of the flag of the boots. The question of whether you can burn the American flag (which was during the Vietnam War for a time mode), employed for decades lawyers and politicians. Before had The Star-Spangled Banner as the national anthem, the Americans have sung other songs. Most of Samuel Francis Smith My Country 'tis of Thee to the tune of God Save the King . From this song it is a variant of wrote author Ambrose Bierce (was also called the Bitter Bierce ). Her name is A Rational (instead National ) Anthem is a little less famous, it is still relevant:

My country 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of felony,
Of thee I sing--
Land where my fathers fried
Young witches and applied
Whips to the Quaker's hide
And made him spring.


My knavish country, thee,
Land where the thief is free,
Thy laws I love;
I love thy thieving bills
That tap the people's tills;
I love thy mob whose will's
All laws above.


Let Federal employees
And round rob all they please
The whole year long.
Let office-holders make Their piles
and judges rake Our coin
. For Jesus' sake,
Let's all go wrong!


Ambrose Bierce is not the only one who has rewritten the text. The famous WEB DuBois wrote a new version:

My country tis of thee, land of slavery
Late,
Of thee I sing.
country where my father's pride
Slept where my mother died,
From every mountainside Let freedom ring
!

My native country thee
Land of the slave set free,
Thy fame I love.
I love thy rocks and rills
And o’er thy hate which chills,
My heart with purpose thrills,
To rise above.

Let laments swell the breeze
And wring from all the trees
Sweet freedom’s song.
Let laggard tongues awake,
Let all who hear partake,
Let Southern silence quake,
The sound prolong.

Our fathers’ God to thee
Author of Liberty,
To thee we sing
Soon may our land be bright,
With Freedom’s happy light
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God our King.

Es wäre to collect interesting, once all the variants of the American national anthems. But for now should be fine. And if you have never Henrix Jimmy's version of The Star-Spangled Banner is one, but once you hear in here. Is somehow beautiful.

Stagecoach

72 years ago today was the Western Stagecoach premiere. In Germany, the film had the somewhat silly title rental hellish trip to Santa Fe . The film marked the beginning of the career of John Wayne, although that was actually many years in the Western business. But most were quickly turned the B-Pictures. His role in the feature-length film Raoul Walsh The Big Trail in 1930 brought surprisingly not a breakthrough. At that time, America obviously needs no national hero, with which one could identify with. In 1939 you need the. The previously low estimate of Western film genre is now to get precious Western and (at least in the interpretation of Mr McBride and Wilmington in her book on John Ford) has a new symbolic dimension: The coach is America, a nation of exiles , riven with warring factions and contradictory, the Indians are the wild forces of nature, the pregnant woman is Liberty, the banker is the corrupt Republican establishment, the spokesman for selfish individualism, the benevolent sheriff riding shotgun is Roosevelt, the Plummer gang are the Axis powers; Buck, the driver, and his Mexican wife 'Hoolietta' are the ethnic minorities Which give the country its democratic character.


The entire American society as a microcosm in a Grand Hotel on Wheels on the way to Lordsburg, the city of the Lord. But where John Wayne is in this concept? He is probably the American Adam, a natural gentleman a primitivist ideal figure. He has no ticket for the Wells Fargo coach by Tonto to Lordsburg solved, he is suddenly there, alone in Monument Valley. Where to play all the Westerns of John Ford. He should be buried in Monument Valley , Woody Strode had said when he learned of the death of John Ford. The Winchester by John Wayne in this scene holds in his hand while he Hold it! says has not disappeared in any props. She is now in the John Wayne Room of National Cowboy Hall of Fame and Western Heritage Center in Oklahoma City .

I play John Wayne in every picture regardless of the character, and I have been doing all right, have not I? , John Wayne once said. Perhaps because he speaks so little. John Ford has the director Robert Parrish (who had studied with him as an editor) once asked: Take a piece of paper and count the number of times Duke talks in 'Stagecoach' and in 'The Long Voyage Home'! The number in both cases was fourteen. That's how you make 'em good actors. Do not let any of 'em talk! said Ford John Ford's career, he has made in the silent film, has never denied. John Wayne does not need to say much, his nuanced mastery of the game and cut by Dorothy Spencer do the rest Wayne is not as young as he looks in the film. He will never be so young and beautiful, as in this film.

Many will see this movie because of John Wayne, because many of the scene where the coach is attacked by the Indians, and where John Wayne (which, however, is represented as the stuntman Yakima Canutt) brings the continuous horses under control. But film-makers see the film with different eyes. Because not only the actors are perfect, cutting and fitting is perfect, no it is the camerawork by John Ford, some of the interior scenes in the Dry Ford Station, and seem to Apache Wells film noir and Orson Welles' Citizen Kane anticipating. Orson Welles was also known to: John Ford was my teacher. My own style has nothing to do with his. But 'Stage Coach' what my movie textbook. I ran it over forty times .

All John Ford presents in this film is somehow recycled. Probably all great art is recycled. The stunt with the horses Yakima Canutt had ever made in Riders of the Dawn . The attack of the Indians probably comes from Buffalo Bill's show number Attack of the Deadwood Stage. The scene in which the Southern Gentleman Hatfield (who is now a player, but still has excellent manners) the last bullet in his revolver for Mrs Mallory kept them from a fate worse than death keep coming, Lillian Gish already in a silent movie. And all persons inventory is not exactly new: the innocent suspect Ringo Kid (John Wayne), the honest sheriff who sings elegant Southern gentleman, the Mexican woman, the sad songs of the homeland, the bloody Indians, the drunken doctor (who had played in Gone with the Wind the father of Scarlett O'Hara), the rescue by the cavalry at the last minute and the hooker with a heart of gold.

But it is the art of John Ford, that he all the stereotypes of the B-Pictures in this film, rearranged and played with the citation. Of course he needs to our willing suspension of disbelief , so we pay attention not so much on the logic. Why did not the Indians just shoot the horses? Ford was asked at a press conference. To which he replied calmly: If the Indians had done that, they would have stopped the picture .

At the end of the film is the showdown in Lordsburg, a town that bears the name of the Lord wrong. This is not the city upon the hill , this is quite a dark limbo, staged as expressionist film noir . But the Plummer Gang (the Axis powers) will be extinguished and the corrupt banker is arrested (which at that time you wish as now). And Lucy Mallory, who gave up their arrogance towards the prostitute Dallas, learns that her husband survived the Indian attack on Dry Fork. And of course there is a happy ending . Ringo Kid and Dallas take the coach in the sunrise. You drive - to the tune of Stephen Foster songs leitmotif used Jeannie With The Light Brown Hair - to Mexico, which commented on Doc Boone as saying Well, they're safe from the blessing of civilization . Like Huck Finn and his lighting out for the territory (and as the young hero in Cormac McCarthy's All the Pretty Horses flee) Dallas and Ringo in a new West, the American West no longer works for the utopia of paradise. Our only hope is to project a further frontier, a mythic space space outside American and American history, for the genuine possibilities of our Frontier have used up says Richard Slotkin in Gunfighter Nation .


I wrote here last year and as ever about John Wayne and John Ford, and will probably do that again. In terms of Ford and Wayne, I am a repeat offender. The film Stagecoach is easily accessible on DVD. Richard J. Anobile writer (with Photos all settings of the film) is related to second-hand yet. The best book to film, in which everything is about Stagecoach is Edward Buscombe Stagecoach (British Film Institute, 1992).
