This is another of those postcard-picture, year-long, slice of life musicals centered around a holiday or a yearly event (Like  Easter Parade , but the World’s Fair, in this case,) in which we go around the year, see some holidays (Halloween, Christmas, etc.) then come back round to the same event which started it all. In this case the slice of life portion refers to a couple (Leon Ames, Mary Astor,) with two daughters just on the verge of marriage who are seeking to get either a fiancé, or a proposal from their current fiancé. The elder daughter (Lucille Bremer) is expecting a long distance call from her boyfriend, and much reorganizing is done about the time when dinner will be server in order to have the dining area free for her; all the while attempting to keep the affair from becoming known by the father (although everyone else is aware of the significance of the event,) who comes home tired, ready for a relaxing bath, and expects dinner to be served at the family’s usual time.

Op dit moment omringt veel liefde je. Iemand geeft veel om je en stuurt veel liefde jouw kant op. Iemand voelt zich hemels als jij dichtbij bent. Stuur bloemen als communicatiemiddel en verras iemand met een boeket. U mag zelf bloemen ontvangen! Kijk of er lelies in jouw omgeving verschijnen – dit zou een tijd van wedergeboorte kunnen symboliseren!

The Naked Jungle  (1954) really needs an in-depth look at its themes though I'm not sure this simple movie would survive it. On the one hand, we have a very paternalistic and conservative figure in Heston (Leiningen). So extreme is he he's almost evil... But wait! There is someone who is  even more extreme  than he (Gruber, even his name evokes a Nazi better!), so maybe Leiningen is not so bad at all. (So let's just forget about the threats, insults, and the bluffing that almost results in the double murder of two innocent, runaway natives.) On the other hand, we have a woman, a native village, and an army of killer ants that our hero must dominate at all costs. By the end, the woman falls for him and his dominating personality is accepted by the audience. Did the character actually change for the better? That's really hard to say. The fantastic element is the marabunta, carnivorous ants that, somehow, also de-forest gigantic tracts of jungle as they travel - never mind

Je wordt gevraagd als woordvoerder voor een doel dat je heel na aan het hart ligt. Je hebt belangrijke dingen te zeggen die mensen moeten weten! Maak je geen zorgen, je engelen fluisteren je de perfecte woorden in voor elke situatie, als je hen om hulp vraagt. Je hebt inmiddels de ervaring en deskundigheid om een geboren leider, leraar of mentor te zijn voor de mensen om je heen. Je weet wat je wilt zeggen, dus doe dat dan ook!

I am not comparing  Mogambo  to  Naked Jungle  because  Mogambo  is a genre film, but specifically because it is not. I am going to use this film basically as a point of comparison with  The Naked Jungle  (from now on  TNJ ,) with which is shares some resemblances. It plays with some of the same tropes, but it also has some key differences. Mogambo , for example was sold partially as " The Battle of the Sexes! " which feels right up  TNJ 's alley. The battle of the sexes is indeed more overt here than in  Hatari!  which is a similarly set film. The basic points of  Mogambo  shared by  TNJ  are these: Man's man lives in jungle isolation, strange female comes to visit/stay, there's sparks aplenty and after some conflict they end up together. In both cases the jungle is simply a separate place where sexual passion explodes but unlike  TNJ, Mogambo 's jungle fails to generate any feeling of metaphoric significance. The  Mogambo  jungle is just a place, like any ot

De engelen sturen je deze kaart omdat ze de noodzaak zien van creatieve expressie en balans tussen werk en spel. Zingen en dansen zijn krachtige manieren om je creatieve kanalen te openen en de vrijheid te voelen om jezelf volledig uit te drukken. Met deze activiteiten ontdek je verborgen talenten en vergroot je je zelfvertrouwen. Omdat muzikale expressie het middel is waarmee je ziel verbinding maakt met het fysieke rijk, zul je ook een groter besef krijgen van de goddelijkheid in jezelf. Veel vrouwen ontdekken hun innerlijke godin door middel van artistieke dansvormen, zoals buik- of hoeladans.

I hardly think anyone thinks  Moby Dick  is a Horror story or movie, and yet it qualifies as genre on so many other levels. Monster? Check. Moby is a monster in at least four basic ways. It is presented as simply a large whale, but that is hardly what we see. Moby is clearly aware of Ahab and his vendetta. Moby not only kills Ahab, but kills the rest of the crew and sinks the ship. As such, Moby must be seen to have some kind of sentience and evil purpose. Moby is also presented as a sort of supernatural demon who can be an many places at once. Is the sailor wrong? We don't know. A third aspect of Moby is that it is also presented as an instrument of God or the Devil. A whole sequence is devoted to the tale of Jonah (by a fire and brimstone breathing Orson Welles,) and while Jonah's tale does not really fit in exactly with the events that transpire, it achieves the connection it strives for. Ahab's actions are not merely lashing out against a godless Universe, he is lashing
