Bruce Lee “went on to become the biggest movie star in history and influenced popular culture more than anyone before or since.”
What follows isn’t a documentary as much as an Academy Awards tribute film. And those who show up to pay tribute really give the love; the artist RZA, for instance, calls Lee a “minor prophet” in the biblical sense. Lee moved with a dancer’s fluidity; he mixed martial arts, confining himself not to a single discipline, and he has left his imprint all over the world of Ultimate Fighting. In the 1960s, when Bruce Lee was filming his role as Kato in “The Green Hornet,” assistant and valet to the title crime fighter, a producer instructed him to play chauffeur in real life and pick up another cast member. Aghast at the display of racial prejudice, someone on the set asked Lee if he was bothered by it. Lee replied, “If I let it bother me, I wouldn’t be Bruce Lee.” It is clear from “How Bruce Lee Changed the World,” a documentary to be shown on Sunday on the History Channel, that Lee had a profound sense of himself. His approach to martial arts was holistic, philosophical. When he compared the movements of kung fu to the continuity of flowing water — as he did in an American television interview from the early ’70s dug up here — he spoke with a fanatic intensity, as if he were leading a movement of freedom fighters. Lee did lead a movement, of course: he introduced martial arts to the American mass market. He starred in the enormously successful “Enter the Dragon,” a movie made for $1 million that took in $200 million. It was released four weeks before he died in 1973 at 32 (the coroner cited swelling of the brain, caused by an adverse reaction to medication, but some fans continue to find the death mysterious) and resulted not only in martial arts studios suddenly opening up all over the country, but also in thousands, perhaps even millions of Americans doing their disco dancing to “Kung Fu Fighting.”

Many saw evil, they dared to stop it... Based on actual events, a plot to assassinate Hitler is unfurled during the height of WWII.

"Valkyrie" takes on an important event in the history of Nazi Germany: the failed assassination attempt of German officers of the Wehrmacht against Hitler in 1944. Most Germans like myself are quite familiar with the story of the "Stauffenberg-Attentat" since it was not only the topic of many German docudramas (e.g. one made by well-known director Pabst in 1955) but is also widely discussed in history class in school.

I was pleasantly surprised about the "American" interpretation in Valkyrie and think that Singer and Cruise came up with an excellent film. Although the outcome is known and the movie develops rather slowly in the beginning, it manages to create a highly suspenseful and darkish-intense atmosphere that keeps you captivated until the end. Complains regarding the American/English accents and the German actors not speaking with German accents, or criticizing that Stauffenberg was "in reality" more charming and not as stiff as Cruise' interpretation, are niggling and banal at best. The movie does not focus on the private, psychological side of Stauffenberg but on his leading role in the assassination plot planned and executed amidst the "heart of darkness", which -we can be sure- was more than nerve-wracking and left certainly little space for charm and jokes. BTW: I was glad to see Nina von Stauffenberg portrayed as the knowing and smart wife that she actually was. The performance of all actors is superb, and Cruise certainly deserves special praise since his commitment to the role is tangible and remarkably intense.

This video - "Croatian gusle vs. Dalmatian klapanistan" - was banned from YouTube at the end of December 2008 due to an intervention of a member belonging to a powerful Croatian cult called "klapa" (a cappella ) brotherhood. . This cult is using the music (Italian heritage) to decimate the Croatian native folk culture in Dalmatia and impose themselves as the only guardians of our history and tradition. The authentic Croatian culture (gusle) suffered the greatest casualty. This video is the first attempt to speak against these slaves of the Italian-Mediterranean culture.

Therefore, they complained to the Google internet police about my video. "Copyright violations" . they screamed. Yes, there were a few clips from the outside sources. However, without these clips I wouldn't be able to tell the story.

They knew it and they set me a trap.

Please, download this video, share it, spread its message.

Thanks.

IMOTA DINAROID

Two clowns living in the Chosun Dynasty get arrested for staging a play that satirizes the king. They are dragged to the palace and threatened with execution, but are given a chance to save their lives if they can make the king laugh.

The clowns love each other deeply (passionately, not fraternally) but do not know how to express it outwardly to each other, so they stay content on their friendship. The leader of the pack of jesters, Jang-sang, is desperately in love with Gong-gil. The troupe heads to Seoul to be the best pack of jesters in Korea. They soon land upon the stage of King Yeonsan who is amused by their performance (which portrayed the likeness of the king in a negative manner). The king falls is infatuated with the very effeminate Gong-gil (by the way, in Western eyes, Korean men may seem effeminate, but that is not the case, they are just very comfortable with their sexuality and do not feel it necessary to put on a macho front as Westerners sometimes do). The King and Gong-gil engage in what one would consider an affair, although it was not a concealed one, very public in fact. This of course enrages the queen and she sets out to destroy Gong-gil and the troupe. You can see the worry and that remaining spark of love in Jang-sang's eyes as he sees the love of his life drifting away. And the eyes have it as one looses his sight; then the other comes back to seal their timely death, together. End scene with the troupe traveling to a new destination…or was it them traveling to an old destination, it is up to your idea...

An unruly class of gifted and charming teenage boys pursue of sex, sport, and higher education.

In 1980s Britain, a group of young men at Cutlers' Grammar School all have the brains, and the will to earn the chance of getting accepted in the finest universities in the nation, Oxford and Cambridge. Despite the fine teaching by excellent professionals like Mrs Lintott in history and the intellectually enthusiastic Hector in General Studies, the Headmaster is not satisfied. He signs on the young Irwin to polish the students' style to give them the best chance. In this mix of intellectualism and creative spirit that guides a rigorous preparation regime for that ultimate educational brass ring, the lives of the randy students and the ostensibly restrained faculty intertwine that would change their lives forever.
