Even the Onion treats us like a bunch of fanatics. Is this fair? I want to argue that it isn ’ t. Even if there are serious problems with some of the plot devices that Lost makes use of, these needn ’ t spoil the enjoyment of anyone who fi nds the series fascinating. Losing the Plot After airing only a few episodes of the third season of Lost in late 2007, the Italian TV channel Rai Due canceled the show. Apparently, ratings were falling because viewers were having diffi culty following the plot. Rai Due eventually resumed broadcasting, but only after airing The Lost Survivor Guide , which recounts the key moments of the fi rst two seasons and gives a bit of background on the making of the series. Even though I was an enthusiastic Lostie from the start, I was grateful for the Guide , if only because it reassured me 9 CCH001.inddH001.indd 9 99/18/10/18/10 77:13:28:13:28 AAMM 10 RICHARD DAVIES that I wasn’ t the only one having trouble keeping track of who was who and who had done what.

  • Cassville, Georgia 1850 - 1880
    CREATORS OF COMMUNITY: CASSVILLE, GEORGIA 1850 - 1880 by ALEXA ILENE CLAREMONT (Under the Direction of Thomas G. Dyer) ABSTRACT The question of what makes and destroys a community is part of human curiosity. Although current scholarship points to a persistence of community, Cassville, Georgia would seem to be an exception. Antebellum Cassville was wealthy, educated, and slaveowning, but in 1864, Union troops occupied and destroyed it. In the Civil War’s aftermath, railroad towns like neighboring Cartersville flourished while Cassville increasingly resembled an economic and social backwater. However, after the war, Cassville was spared some of the social trauma that rocked other Upcountry communities. During the 1870s, the economic instability which ruined many benefited Cassville. Merchants benefited from the increase in single-crop cultivation and many freedmen became landowners. The economic resurgence allowed white residents to fashion an identity based on the Lost Cause, while the growing black community founded organizations strengthening their own bonds. Although after the town’s destruction the community was irrevocably changed, a new Cassville emerged and flourished.

Amongst the jungles and ravenous animals that threaten the various settlements across the planet’s surface, Calli is dealing with something much more dire: her sick mother, who is slowly dying from an unknown sickness. With funds scarce, Calli decides to do the impossible: to locate auracite, a rare mineral native to Kipos, in the hopes that it will provide her with the money to afford a cure. She leaves home with her friend, the sly and scruffy Sera, and encounters a whole new world outside of her own, one that will force her to answer questions she never knew she needed to answer: how far is she willing to go for someone she loves? iii Table of Contents Prologue 1 Chapter 1 6 Chapter 2 21 Chapter 3 35 Chapter 4 57 Chapter 5 80 Chapter 6 92 Chapter 7 123 Chapter 8 136 Chapter 9 156 Chapter 10 165 Chapter 11 192 Chapter 12 220 Chapter 13 245 Chapter 14 260 Chapter 15 279 Chapter 16 296 Chapter 17 313 Chapter 18 333 Chapter 19 358 Chapter 20 374 Chapter 21 387 iv Chapter 22 397 Epilogue 403 v Prologue Diana Hayford remembers Autumn.

  • International Journal of Multidisciplinary Approach And
    International Journal of Multidisciplinary Approach and Studies ISSN NO:: 2348 – 537X Indian cinema’s future at Oscars Paromita Gupta DSJ, University of Delhi, Delhi, India ABSTRACT Cinema is the reflection of our society. It acts as a mirror by reflecting the reality of our societies. Just like any other professional field, cinema is also bestowed with the recognition for who or what is the best among all. This comes in various formats including the pan world accepted and celebrated Academy Awards or Oscars. As per 2018 report by Statista, over 5,823 films were produced by leading film markets including India and China. From 1948 till 2019, Italy has topped the chart by winning 11 best International Feature Film, followed by France with 9 wins, while Mexico and South Korea became the newest member with Roma in 2018 and Parasite in 2019 respectively. Indian cinema is the world's largest film industry in terms of film production, with an annual output of 1,813 feature films as of 2018, and Bollywood is its largest film producer, with 364 Hindi films produced annually as of 2017. KEYWORDS: Oscars, Indian cinema at world level, Parallel Cinema, Bollywood, Film Federation on India INTRODUCTION The Oscars was first held in 1929, and is also the oldest of the four major annual American entertainment awards. The Awards has faced backlash for lack of diversity which is based on the statistics since 1929. To honour the foreign language films, the Special Achievement/Honorary Award was introduced in 1947. These awards, however, were not handed out on a regular basis (no award was given in 1953), and were not competitive since there were no nominees but simply one winning film per year.

A Pilgrimage on Foot to the Buddhist Holy Places As the reader accompanies them along the dusty trail of their juxtaposed accounts—of the glories and horrors of teeming pungent cities, somno- lent villages, ancient sanctuaries and tiger-haunted forests—the reading Part 2 too becomes something of a pilgrimage. And just as this pair of travelers Great Patient One were challenged, inspired, and transformed by their journey, we find our- selves similarly changed.” Great Patient One —Ajahn Amaro, abbot of Abhayagiri Monastery “Armchair pilgrims take note! This book will provide blisters, backaches, frights, absurd laughter, and all-night meditations. Result? Exhaustion tinged with grace. In the age of the pop-epiphany this is a throwback to what began it all: the slow road to enlightenment. It’s also a badminton in play between the Odd Couple of Spirituality and one lovely read.” —Tad Wise, co-author of Circling the Sacred Mountain h AJAHN SUCITTO, a Theravadan Buddhist monk in the Thai forest tradition for over thirty years, is Abbot of Chithurst Monastery in England.

An analysis of content and treatment of colour along with usage of lights will be used to evaluate phenomenon of box office success. Methodology used is content analysis frames drawn from films belonging to different generas and directed by different film makers so that any inherent biases can be eliminated.The usages of colours as used in psychological and cinematographic aspect have few studies about association of colour with mood. Emotions are aroused by specific objects or events whereas mood has no such specific referent. (And usually lasts for a relatively large period of time). Keywords: Visual Culture, Hegemony, Visual Style, Indian Cinema, Indian Television, Indian Advertising 1. Introduction INTRODUCTION With marketing becoming the key player in ensuring the success or failure of its product, it has become imperative for the general public to understand the nuances that comprise the process and treatment of film- making.
