![]() ![]() There's a telling moment near the beginning of Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." In closeup, we see the rough-hewn, heavy wooden wheels of a peasant cart. It is beautiful, breathtaking and deeply moving. Quite simply, Crouching Tiger has everything. The film also benefits from great performances from Zhang Ziyi and a very under-rated Chang Chen. The greatest joy of the film is watching great Hong Kong stars like Chow Yun-Fat and Michelle Yeoh being given characters with depth and watching them fill the screen with their performances. But it has also re-invented the genre and given it artistic credibility. In many ways, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is pure Wu Xia. The results may not please purists from either camp, but for the rest of the audience it is pure magic. Ang Lee perfectly marries action/adventure with drama. I think this just demonstrates the high standard to which they were prepared to judge this film. Some critics have suggested that the characterisation is quite slight. He must temporarily put aside his feelings to recover the sword and bring his master's killer to justice Seeming to take a fair chunk from his previously directorial role, Sense and Sensibility, Ang Lee weaves a story which tragically juxtaposes the loving and giving but repressed relationship of Mu Bai and Shu Lien, with the fiery, wilful and destructive passions of Jen Yu (Zhang Ziyi) and Lo (Chang Chen). On the brink of declaring their love for one another, Mu Bai's Green Destiny Sword is stolen, and his arch enemy returns. Mu Bai is looking for a way out of the Gang Ho (Warrior) lifestyle he joins a monastery, as a route to enlightenment and peace, but cannot cast aside his unrequited love for Shu Lien (another warrior). At the heart of Crouching Tiger is the relationship between Li Mu Bai (Chow Yun-Fat) and Yu Shu Lien (Michelle Yeoh). The dog wags the tail, not the other way around. ![]() Crouching Tiger, like the best of cinema, has dynamic characters whose internal struggles advance the plot. At worst the characters become ciphers they advance the story by making choices regardless of whether these choices are in keeping with their character. Most films (Western or Eastern) have a rigid plot against which characters move. But unlike lesser imitations, such as Hero, it is much more than that just stylish production and mesmerising action. The colours are rich, the light dances and the movements are balletic. Make no mistake Crouching Tiger is a beautiful, beautiful movie. When he did, he brought sophistication and strong production values which, while not uncommon in mainstream Chinese cinema, was less common in the martial arts or Wu Xia traditions. Although he grew up in Taiwan, not Hong Kong or China, Ang Lee has said he has always wanted to make a Wu Xia film. Possibly, it has a parallel with sword and sorcery pulp literature and even Western romances. It contains formulaic elements such as honourable warriors, powerful swordswomen, powerful swords, and often magic and mythical beasts. Wu Xia, for those not familiar with the style, evolved out of popular Chinese fiction. Crouching Tiger is Ang Lee's take on the Wu Xia tradition of film making.

![]() Thus SPECTRE's main strategy is to instigate conflict between two powerful enemies, namely the superpowers, hoping that they will exhaust themselves and be vulnerable when it seizes power. Then, that cunning fish attacks the weakened victor and kills it easily. Blofeld notes that one fish is refraining from fighting two others until their fight is concluded. Its long-term strategy, however, is illustrated by the analogy of the three Siamese fighting fish Blofeld keeps in an aquarium aboard SPECTRE's yacht in the film version of From Russia with Love. This is strongly implied to be Red China, who earlier backed Auric Goldfinger in the film of the same name. The goal of world domination was only ever stated in You Only Live Twice when SPECTRE was working on behalf of an unnamed Asian government. Julius No in sabotaging American rocket launches, holding the world to ransom, and demanding clemency from governments for their previous crimes. Their objectives have ranged from supporting Dr. In the films, the organisation often acts as a third party in the ongoing Cold War. Guntram von Shatterhand and his compound in Japan. By this point, the organisation has largely been shut down, and what remains is focused on maintaining Blofeld's alias as Dr. Blofeld, with a weakened SPECTRE, would appear for the final time in the twelfth novel, You Only Live Twice (1964). ![]() The organisation's third appearance is in the eleventh novel, On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1963) where Blofeld, hired by an unnamed country or party-though the Soviet Union is implied-is executing a plan to ruin British agriculture with biological warfare. The organisation is next mentioned in the tenth novel, The Spy Who Loved Me (1962), when Bond describes investigating their activities in Toronto before the story begins, though they play no part in the story itself. ![]() During the events of Thunderball, SPECTRE successfully hijacked two nuclear warheads for ransom. The strict codes of loyalty and silence, and the hard retributions that followed violations, were hallmarks of American gangster rings, the Italian Mafia, the Russian mafia, the Unione Corse, the Chinese Tongs and triads, and the Japanese yakuza and Black Dragon Society. ![]() Fleming's SPECTRE has elements inspired by mafia syndicates and organised crime rings that were actively hunted by law enforcement in the 1950s. Therefore, he thought it better to create a politically neutral enemy for Bond. When Fleming was writing the novel in 1959, he believed that the Cold War might end during the two years it would take to produce the film, and came to the conclusion that the inclusion of a contemporary political villain would leave the film looking dated. The remaining three members are Blofeld himself and two scientific/technical experts who make their debut in the ninth Bond novel, Thunderball (1961). Coincidentally, the three from KRYSTAL are all formerly of RAHIR, an intelligence agency previously run by Blofeld. Members are drawn in groups of three from six of the world's most notorious organisations-the Nazi German Gestapo, the Soviet SMERSH, Yugoslav Marshal Josip Broz Tito's OZNA, the Italian Mafia, the French- Corsican Unione Corse, and KRYSTAL, a massive Turkish heroin-smuggling operation. The top level of the organisation is made up of twenty-one individuals, eighteen of whom handle day-to-day affairs. In the novels, SPECTRE, is an organised crime enterprise led by Blofeld. The world map in the background is common to emphasise the aim of world domination. Philosophy and goals Blofeld's SPECTRE volcano base complete with spacecraft-swallowing Bird One spacecraft, helipad and attack helicopter, and command centre in the 1967 film You Only Live Twice. In the novels, SPECTRE begins as a small group of criminals but in the films, it is depicted as a vast international organisation with its own SPECTRE Island training base capable of replacing the Soviet SMERSH. The presence of former Gestapo members in the organisation can be considered as a sign of Fleming's warnings about Nazi fugitives after the Second World War, as first detailed in the novel Moonraker (1954). SPECTRE is not aligned with any nation or political ideology, enabling the later Bond books and Bond films to be regarded as somewhat apolitical. Led by criminal mastermind Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the international organisation first formally appeared in the novel Thunderball (1961) and in the film Dr. SPECTRE (Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion) is a fictional organisation featured in the James Bond novels by Ian Fleming, as well as the films and video games based on those novels.

We conducted a national survey on PJI treatment in Mainland China. We aim to measure the current situation and basis for surgical treatment methods of PJI in major orthopaedic hospitals in the Chinese mainland. Despite the increased incidence of primary joint replacements, there is no clear guideline for treating PJI in the Chinese mainland yet. Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a serious hip and knee arthroplasty complication. Even with the volume control wide open, it would add almost no hiss, noise, or distortion to the audio signal. It was well built, and it was dead quiet. Although its functionality was limited, its performance of those functions it did have made it stand out. It performed input switching for balanced and single-ended analog sources, gain for all incoming signals, and volume control. The 740P was strictly a line-stage preamplifier. For a complete picture, though, a brief overview of the 740P is in order. What better time, I thought, to review its recently released successor, the Moon 791 preamplifier, part of the company’s new North Collection. I was so impressed with the 740P that I’ve kept it in my system after the audition period until earlier this year.

Considering the site’s emphasis on sound quality, that may not be a surprise since many audiophiles have doubts about these formats. Qobuz has yet to embrace surround-sound mixes from Dolby Atmos or Sony 360. The new album from acclaimed New Zealand singer/songwriter Aldous Harding is CD-quality on Apple Music and Tidal, while Apple’s versions of the latest from Michael Bublé and Denzel Curry don’t feature Qobuz’s Hi-Res versions even if their CD-quality streams are available in Dolby Atmos. The flip side of that is that Qobuz seems to have titles available in Hi-Res Audio that Apple Music or Tidal do not. Qobuz invests in original articles about artists and gear, another feature that distinguishes them from most of their competitors. Unfortunately, there’s a ton of music that was uploaded for distribution before 2019, and a rights holder must go back and grant permission for TuneCore to distribute its music. If you want your music on Tidal and Apple Music but not Spotify (to pick a totally random example), you have that option. When a creator or label uploads music to the site, there’s an opportunity to check boxes for individual services. A significant number of independent artists have distributed their music through a company called TuneCore. The company faced a challenge when it entered the U.S. It’s fun to either agree or argue with the conclusions.Įven though there’s a standard batch of core albums available across the different music services, Qobuz had an anecdotal reputation for missing some titles in its catalog, especially from independent artists. ![]() If you’re already an expert, the pieces are well-written. If you’re looking to learn about new music, these detailed guides can be invaluable. ![]() The selection for me this week included posts about female composers, grunge albums, the MPS jazz label, and bossa nova. Qobuz is of course limited by whatever information the copyright holders choose to provide, but they’re making a significant effort to expand the information available from their service.Ī recent Qobuz update now sorts an artist’s music in order of release and breaks the presentation into LPs, EPs, Live, and Compilations.Īnother Qobuz exclusive is its Panoramas section, which features in-depth and informative articles about a specific corner of music with links to the discussed music in the app. Click on the Credits button on an individual song’s page and you’ll get a text page that might include valuable information like composers, producers, engineers, and original record label. The service also takes advantage of the extra metadata that some labels are providing for individual titles. Nearly all the titles now display a correct original release date. You’ll usually get a solid bio originally written for, and now the various titles are grouped into Albums, EPs & Singles, Live, and Other. Qobuz heard its users, and the latest version of the desktop app brings the presentation in line with the very best streamers on the market. Search an artist like Led Zeppelin and you’d arrive at a jumbled page that showed all the artist’s albums in no particular order, and a ton of music that was only tangentially related to the band, such as tributes and covers. Until recently, search was a pronounced weakness for Qobuz. I didn’t know I needed to hear a band that plays rap metal with traditional Indian instruments until Qobuz Discover suggested Bloodywood to me. ![]() Sign-up for welcome discounts, loyalty discounts, news and more. ![]() Jewelry by Theme icon-chevron Expand submenu.Shop Popular Gemstones icon-chevron Expand submenu.Gemstone Jewelry icon-chevron Expand submenu.Jewelry Collection icon-chevron Expand submenu.Cheers big ears."

Although Anguissola was seventeen years older than Fontana, she would outlive her by more than a decade.Īfter the Plague: The State of Renaissance Art History Both women came of age in the second half of the sixteenth century. Both fathers clearly held their daughters in high esteem, naming them after illustrious women from antiquity (Sophonisba was a Carthaginian princess noted by Livy Lavinia, the wife of Aeneas in book VII of the Aeneid). ![]() In addition, he trained a roster of important artists in his studio, including Lodovico and Agostino Carracci, as well as his talented daughter. Lavinia’s father, Prospero Fontana, a successful Mannerist painter, provided artworks for numerous buildings in the city, as well as frescoes for the private residences of Pope Julius III and Francis I, king of France. The artisanal Fontana family, in contrast, was a Bolognese institution. By 1559, when she left Italy for the Spanish court in Madrid to serve as a lady-in-waiting to Isabel de Valois, the French queen of the powerful Habsburg king Philip II, Sofonisba was already a well-established portraitist in her own right. ![]() ![]() The family claimed to be noble descendants of ancient Carthaginians and were well-off enough to send their two eldest daughters, beginning in 1546, to learn how to paint with local masters (Bernardino Campi and Bernardino Gatti) they were not so well-off, however, that her father, Amilcare, could resist exploiting Sofonisba’s artistic gifts for his own enrichment. The Anguissola hailed from the northern Italian town of Cremona, which, as part of the Duchy of Milan, was under Spanish influence in the 1530s when Sofonisba was born, the first of six daughters and a son. 1535–1625) and Lavinia Fontana (1552–1614), the subjects of the exhibition “A Tale of Two Women Painters,” on view at the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid until the beginning of February, the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries were indeed the best of times and the worst of times to be an artist.īoth women were unusually encouraged by their families to pursue careers as painters. ![]() Graphics processor acceleration requirements: OpenGL 2. ![]() ![]() These links go to the authentic and secure files residing on Adobe’s servers, are guaranteed genuine, safe.
