Driver License For Limousine Toronto

Finally back with the news of the day!


Shame I did not go on the blog for a month! I hope regular readers are still a few still look if I had not written some new ... Because it went away things for this month! Well, first things first, if you want ...

First, after the cute little Munsch has left to join his new family to the Mira Foundation, we decided to keep another dog Mira, Kain, a nice Labernese (false Cattle as they say in the foundation ) for a weekend. However, the first day we have had a little trouble with this dog, because he seemed bored a lot of his master and did not want to sleep (stress I guess and maybe he was waiting for his master?). In short, we had to quickly call his host family to tell him that the beautiful Kain was totally hopeless in this new family!

Kain has been selected as a guide dog, then good luck to nice pooch;)

Subsequently, we were at our supper grandmother for Valentine's Day, with the small Pico, where we had the nice surprise to see the gigantic Balou's dog, the daughter of our step-grandfather (okay, you still following?). It was not as big as "fat" (Kyra looked overweight compared to him) but he was very high, which made him a pretty big dog. Balou, however, was a big baby who demanded constant hugs from its owners. Kyra was as usual with new dogs, (that is to say that she has "gently" grumbled later) and then let herself feel. Azure was glad to have a new friend, too!

And finally, last week, my mother had a special request from her dressing favorite: the little brother of this lady had absolutely need a babysitter for his dog, Leah, who was 6 years old, for about a week. After some consideration, we decided to agree to keep this dog's golden age. We have little Leah since Thursday, and we discovered she had a small way: when the flatter, she begins to talk to us! Of course, nothing like "I love Mama" as we can sometimes see in the videos, but sounds like this! This beautiful Leah have some age, certain features of the Labrador are well anchored in her:
  • It takes the logs lying outside and decapitated;
  • She drinks water like a slut and makes a mess;
  • It scratches the snow with his back legs after his needs;
  • She is addicted to bullets;
  • She is 6 years old and is still ready to play as intensely with Azur (and a branch in its mouth at the same time).
short, a true lady labrador;) And Kyra, well, she was again greeted with a sweet grunt.

We have great news to announce: we'll probably move into a new house, with a larger space at the rear for the dogs! So for now, simply waiting to sell our own ...

Here are the pictures!

Well, even some of Munsch, because we like dogs babies! ;)


"Hey! Let me step out! "

Azur and Kain having fun in the snow: o)
"What's that, a squirrel?"

And he it's big and beautiful Balou! :)

Our beautiful "little" couple of Valentine's Day!

The beautiful and Balu my uncle's favorite!

The little trio with Kyra, Pico and Balou!

Kyra
the beautiful girl who makes the sausage on his pillow ... ( I have friends I no longer want dogs, I'm too exhausted!)
"Hello, I'm Leah (you know, like Star Wars but not write like that!)"


"Me too I want of your toasts to peanut butter, Grandpa!"

Scholarships For Students With Skin Diseases

Copy, a film by Abbas Kiarostami

A quick summary for know what we're talking about (note, it reveals the key moments of the plot!)

It is difficult to summarize this film ... It looks and interweaves two themes: the couple and art. The action takes place in Tuscany, Italy, in the land of art (Florence) and love (Verona, Venice ..).
The film opens with a lecture by James Miller (William Shimeles), author of an essay Certified Copy , double fiction Kiarostami, author of the eponymous film.
James's essay focuses on the relationship between art and reproductions. In the audience, the character played by Juliette Binoche looks lovingly author, and gives to his neighbor, the translator of Miller, his phone number to be forwarded to James. Later, he visits his admirer. They improvise a trip in the countryside nearby. They stop at an inn. While Miller left the room momentarily to answer a call on his mobile phone, a conversation ensued between the landlord and the young woman. The boss thinks that James and his admirers are married. The latter does not undeceived. The young woman told Miller to return to the restaurant, despise the innkeeper. Miller notes as they are a beautiful couple. This is a turning point in the film. So far, the two characters bound knowledge by discussing the arguments that Miller had developed in his book. According to the author, in art, the copy is better than the original in so far as the artistic value of an object is conferred by the look of one who appreciates. However, from Miller's remarks on marriage with her admirer, the topic of conversation changes and the characters by their words make the viewer feel that they knew each other well before that day and they are a couple married for fifteen years.
Things data are not as certainties. Torque is a fragile body whose very existence is in doubt.

comedy happiness
In the second part of the film, both characters address each other as if they were married a long time. We understand then that the couple has been acting without knowing when. Or, he feigned a romantic encounter in the first part of the film, it is in the second part he plays longtime married couple. By not settling, Kiarostami shows that every pair is based on a set of self, a kind of comedy played two, or a tragedy. On this point, it is interesting to note that the film is built on a unit of time, since the action takes place on a day in accordance with the principles of classical dramaturgy.
The two protagonists reveal their dramatic essence, Miller during his lecture and the young woman in her use of makeup, jewelry, in its desire to do good to another.


The couple, an ideal, impossible to achieve?
The couple is therefore a theatrical convention? The quest for an impossible ideal to achieve? The film illustrates this meeting impossible by the transition from one language to another. Miller is speaking. The young woman is French. In their arguments, everyone will spontaneously use his native language, no one can properly speak of a dialogue of the deaf since the young woman fluent in the language of Shakespeare.
It criticizes Miller for not having noticed the lipstick and earrings she had put in the toilet of the restaurant as if it was transparent, as if they were unable to look at each other. One can not help but think of the sentence by Antoine de Saint Exupery, "love is not looking at each other, it is looking together in the same direction. "


Certified copies or the myth of eternal return
The film comes in different forms the theme of imitation of the multiplication. Men are only playing the myth of eternal return. The protagonists intersect multiple couples on the edge of a golden tree for good luck to newlyweds. Miller is ill at comfortable in front of them. Perhaps they refer to the groom he was confident, before disillusionment. They probably understands that these are only replicas, which will play again sa propre histoire. Du côté de la jeune femme, on décèle de la nostalgie, l'envie de retrouver l'enthousiasme des jeunes années. Les personnages principaux sont d'âge mûr, ni au début, ni à la fin mais au cœur de la vie. Après avoir été contraint de poser près de l'arbre d'or avec de jeunes mariés, Miller confie son pessimisme à la femme qui l'accompagne. D'après lui, le jeune couple ne survivra que s'il prend conscience que ses sentiments devront fatalement changer et évoluer, et Miller de poursuivre : "On ne demande pas à un arbre de promettre de garder ses fleurs après le printemps car les fleurs deviennent fruits. Et puis l'arbre perd ses fruits". Cette image implicitly carries with it the idea of restarting cyclic and ages. The newlyweds are flowering trees, mature couples, trees bearing fruit etc.. Miller and his partner have reached the heart of their existence. In their wanderings, they will meet not only young couples but also older replicas. The first time near a fountain, (the old man is played by Jean-Claude Carriere), the second time, after leaving a church. The image of the fruit tree suggests the idea of the seasons of life but also that of the eternal return. The seasons follow one another, identical and infinitely. Companion Miller had also noticed that her son was "true copy" of his father. From generation to generation, pairs are broken and formed and act as if trying to reach an ideal of how a forger imitates a work of art.

American Dreamz, a film by Paul Weitz

Rushing to laugh at everything for fear of being obliged to weep

American Dreamz is a comedy that tells how crazy the President of the United States will participate in the final of an eponymous TV show style The Search for New Star . The film, released in 2006, in the middle of Bush's second term, is a reflection of the times: Popular reality TV shows involving mindless dreaming of fame, against the backdrop of crusades against terrorism led by the Bush administration ... These are serious issues ridiculed.

Laugh terrorists ...

There is farcical in the shooting of a film about the training camps in Afghanistan. An apprentice terrorists connects the blunders and waste all the scenes. This is Omer, a young Iraqi who came in terrorism after losing his mother in the American bombing. At night in his tent, he gesticulated so grotesque sound of Broadway standards. This young man is not inhabited by the Jihad, but the American dream, the music hall tunes ...

Laugh trash TV ...

The film opens on numbers, they discovered that Martin Tweed aka Hugh Grant, host of American Dreamz . Figures showing record audiences of the show. For the new season, the goal is to maintain Tweed peaks. For this, we must go even further in stupidity. To give spice on his show, he ordered his staff to recruit such a kind of new Britney Spears, attractive girl from a disadvantaged background, one Jewish and one Arab ...


manipulation in all its forms

The theme of manipulation is declining in all its forms in the film. Handling the top of the state, as President of the United States, played by Dennis Quaid, is an ignoramus, a puppet in the hands of members of his administration, including Vice President Sutter played by an unrecognizable Willem Dafoe.
Handling is also that of terrorists who enroll in their training camps for young boys and Omer dangle a happy life after death in paradise.
is finally the team of Martin Tweedy, who uses people for a hearing. The reality show is anything but reality, as is the rule of staging such orchestrated by agent Sally Kendoo, a girl selected under pseudo Britney Spears.

Effects Mirror: When two cynical meet
Some characters from American Dreamz are duplicates. It the case of Tweed and Sally Kendoo. Both are from modest backgrounds. Both are ready to sacrifice everything to become famous and successful. The film sees two scenes and a succession of breaking parallel. The first is the opening of the film, Tweed cruelly breaks up with his girlfriend. Subsequently, it was the turn of Sally to dismiss the devoted William Williams (Chris Klein). Tweed will be quickly drawn to Sally, a young woman who resembles him so much. The two people will experience a brief idyll. The end of the film I am careful not to reveal finalize the idea that two characters are just one.


When three puppets meet
Similarly, it is possible to associate three collateral victims of manipulation, these three characters will meet the night of the finale of American Dreamz . The first is called
William Williams. After his break, he enlisted in Iraq in a conflict that goes beyond, soon to be back after being shot in the arm, at the very spot where he had been tattooed face of his well- aimée.Il will not be the end of his sentences puique his girlfriend use to curry favor with viewers of American Dreamz. It will be doubly manipulated, its low intellectual capacity helping.
The second puppet, not much else is smarter than the President of the United States, guest star of the television show.
Finally the third puppet is Omer, a finalist of the show with Sally.
two objects symbolize this manipulation, the atrium, including the president only repeated the words, and the belt of explosives that terrorists were forcibly take Omer ...
What will the outcome of the meetings of the Third Kind? You know while watching this comedy shifted, which is worth seeing!

Frito Flavor Twists Cheddar Ranch

To be or not to be, a film by Ernst Lubitsch





In Warsaw in August 1939, in-between period when Europe was poised to fall into chaos, stunned onlookers discovered, Hitler, alone in the street. A booming voice announces a step backwards. So here we are in Berlin, in the Gestapo. Then comes
Rawitch, director. This shatters the dramatic illusion. They are not Nazis but actors who rehearse a play "realistic" Gestapo in a theater in Warsaw.

fuzzy boundary between cinema and theater


Before the arrival of Rawitch was nothing to identify theatrical rehearsals as such. Indeed, the opening of the film used and abused codes properly cinematic (voice-overs, outdoor settings, mounting series of short shots with still shots and panoramic succession of close-ups of stunned passersby at the sight of Hitler ).

ambiguous relationship between reality and fiction



In this work, it is difficult to determine clearly the territory of reality and of fiction. In repeating Gestapo, the actors are struggling to get under the skin of their characters. Bronski can not help add comic effects, Maria Tura (Carole Lombard) comes on stage in flamboyant evening dress even though it must interpret the prisoner of a concentration camp! ... Hence the protestations of the director, who must remind his players that this is a "realistic play."
same evening, the troupe performs in Hamlet. While Josef Tura begins his famous soliloquy beginning "To be or not to be", one of the spectators left ostensibly places. It is the young lieutenant Sobinski. The actor is annoyed by the departure he interprets as an affront to his acting skills. His monologue only acquires more than truth, because he pronounces the words could apply to a lesser extent to what he feels at this time., Which ironically gives them a more ludicrous than tragic . Figure fictional Hamlet erased to make room for that of the cuckolded comedian ... and ....

Adultery and love triangle


Indeed, Sobinski left his place, not to protest against the game of Josef Tura, but to join him at this opportune moment, Maria Tura, in her box. It had fallen under the spell of the young man. The film develops and the theme of adultery, in a roundabout way, Hays censorship code requires. This gives rise to two-way dialogue on the capacity of lieutenant to drop bombs on his plane ...
Later, when war broke out, parachuted to prevent an anti-resistance Gestapo, he will herberge emergency by Maria Tura. Josef Tura, returning to the marital home, discover the amazement in his bed. The film suggested a way that supported the lieutenant had taken the place of the husband.


And reality than fiction ...

Rawitch The troupe is forced to cease operations when the war broke out with the invasion of Poland. The Costume Nazi actors returning closet to make room for uniforms for the "real" Gestapo.

fiction ... but had not said its last word


However, members of the troupe will not sit idle for long. After returning to England Sobinski, they will try to put their talents actors in the service of resistance to Nazism. They will infiltrate the Gestapo, sometimes almost on replaying the same scenes of their play Gestapo alongside "real" Nazis. It operates as a dialogue between fiction and reality. The quality of their play will determine the success of their infiltration and of course their hello!


Finally
While my comment does not show it, this film is extremely funny. It requires all the finesse and talent Lubitsch to mingle without false notes the theme of Nazism to the comic tone. This work is a painting rich social world of comedians ranging from supporting roles frustrated not recognize their talent to see comedians who can not help to add, by way of Tura. Young couple unable to top in competition, over-sized ego, which most couples is weakened by the presence of Sobinski.
Finally, this film is a tribute to the magic of theater. The spectator is disturbed when he hears his tirade Greenberg pronounce Shakespearean. His words are they those of the Shylock Merchant of Venice , or those of a victim of Nazi persecution? Thus, this film works as a demonstration of the power of theater as revealing truth.
