2006-09-24T05:18:00.000-07:00

.......... This is the last movie for me . My friends called me yesterday . They told me they would like to watch movie at Siam . Oh My God !!! this week I don't want to watch any movie because this week I watch the movie about 5-6 movies that about the America 's history . Now let's we talk about this movie ** Man without a star ** . This movie was directed by King Vidor .

..........The first scene , it begins in the train . Dempsey Rae and Jeff Jimson are the same train . Dempsey Rae is a cow boy . He has skill for using gun . When Jeff meets many troubles in the train such as he was injure and Kirk Douglas helps him . They begin together . There are two men flight together and one man was kill . When they take down , there are many officers ask about criminal . He says he does it .

..........Dempsey Rae gives some money to Jeanne Crain . He thinks this boy will go from him . He goes to his friend ' s home . She 's very glad to see him . In the everning they go to small bar . Everyone glads to see him . Dempser Rae surprises too because he sees Jeff's face at the door . He changes his cloth to young cow boy . Everyone surprises too because Jeff is unknown person .

..........Dempsey Rae allow Jeff stays with him and Jeff works with Dempsey Rae . He always teaches many things to Jeff such as the method for using gun , living etc . One day Jeff disputes with someone in work at lunch time . Nobody prohibit but they must flight at outside . This is not strange for men . Dempsey Rae teaches many thing but he doesn't want Jeff drink . It's not good thing . They have boss is woman . She is a hard lady and she just arrived from East . Her name is Miss Reed Bowman . She has a plan to move in another 22,000 head onto the open range .

..........Someone has different opinion so it has a war . A range war is about to break out, and Dempsey, who wants no part of barbed wire and carries the scars to show . They don't like Rae . Rae was injure . Rae and his friends try to do fence for seperate the area . Sure !!! they was attack . His friend was shot . Rae can shoot tatal foes . A girl like Jeff , she takes care Jeff when he was shot . In the of this movie Jeff loves her .

From this movie , I know that some woman can do something for her benefit such as seduce . In Western Expansion , if someone courageous and diligent , they have advantage others . So they always drill . And the social , they do work by teamwork . The banjo is popular in this era . They have party and everyone know . Someone will underestimate someone who they don't know .

<< The Beach Boys & The Four Aces >>

Background

..........The Beach Boys story began in Hawthorne, California in 1961, when Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson formed a band with their cousin Mike Love and friend Al Jardine. The group began as Kenny and the Cadets, Carl and the Passions, and finally the Pendletones. Brian who is a fan of the Four Freshman , began teaching the others intricate Freshman styled of harmonies. Murray Wilson, the father of the brothers and a sometime songwriter, suggested that the boys approach his publisher, Hite Morgan who owned a small recording and publishing company called Guild Music. The group intended to audition with some old favourites, but Morgan told them that they needed some original material to get recorded.

..........In December 1961 ** The Surfin ** was issued on X Records as a promote for them . They can have selling over 50,000 cpoies . Beach Boys began to performed at long beach Municipal Stadium in a memorial concert for Ritchie Valens . They were paid three hundred dollars.

..........In early 1963, Murray Wilson put the band on the road for a relentless string of concerts across America, but Brian became more and more resentful of the time away from home.

..........In 1965 the Beach Boys did a remake of Bobby Freeman's hit "Do You Wanna Dance" with Dennis Wilson on lead vocal.

..........In 1972 saw changes in the Beach Boys' on stage line-up when Dennis was sidelined after he injured his hand in a windowpane mishap. Bruce Johnson had a falling out with Jack Rieley, one of the group's management team and left for a solo career. They were replaced by Rick Faar and Blondie Chaplin of the South African group" Flame" .

..........In 1988, John Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas wrote "Kokomo" for the Beach Boys to sing on the sound track to the movie, "Cocktail."

..........By 2002, the remaining Beach Boys touring group had fragmented even further, with Mike Love and Bruce Johnston touring together, banishing Al Jardine from the band. Lawsuits and counter lawsuits flew back and forth over the rights to use the Beach Boys name, the results of which prevented Jardine from touring as Beach Boys Family and Friends.

...........By mid-June, 2006, the surviving members of The Beach Boys had apparently put aside all the lawsuits and nastiness to celebrate the 40th anniversary of their landmark "Pet Sounds" album and the double-platinum certification of "Sounds of Summer.

...........They have variety songs such as when I grow up <> This song is about what he want to do or will be in the future . The second example is California Girls is about he narrates the girls whom he meet in California . I think Mike is a person who the most success during his career .

..........The Beach Boys were inducted into the Rock ans Roll hall of Fame in 1988 . They are the real innovator of America Rock and Roll . Catch their concerts and tune into their genius .They are a classic act .

Backround

..........The original members were Al Alberts (originally Albertini), Dave Mahoney, Lou Silvestri, and Rosario "Sod" Vaccaro. They all came from Chester, Pennsylvania . Alberts went to South Philadelphia High School, Temple University, and the United States Navy, where he met Mahoney . Alberts sang with Mahoney playing behind him, and later they added Vaccaro on trumpet and Silvestri on drums . They played locally in the Philadelphia area, and Alberts started his own record label, Victoria Records, when they could not find a distributor to release their first record, "(It's No) Sin." It sold a million copies, and Decca Records soon signed the group, billing them as The Four Aces featuring Al Alberts .

..........Alberts, however, left the group in 1956 to try to make it as a soloist, but never made the charts. He was replaced as lead singer by Fred Diodati, who had attended South Philadelphia High School a few years after Alberts . the group broke up, but Diodati still has a group which he calls the Four Aces, though it contains none of the original members. In 1975 a court awarded Diodati the right to the name in a court suit in which the original members tried to establish their right.The Four Aces were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2001.

..........I think Fred Diodati is artist had the most success during his careers because he is one of the best lead singers/spokeman in the business today. The first example is **It's A Women's World ** is about this world most of all are women . They live in the world . They 're very beautiful . The second is ** Heart and Soul ** is about they fall in love with someone . Their heart difficult to control .

..........A change of backing orchestra from Owen Bradley to Jack Pleis then brought further successes with 'Heart of My Heart,' their first American No.1, the million selling 'Three Coins in the Fountain,' and their top 10 version of 'Mister Sandman.' Al Alberts left the group in 1958 to pursue a solo career and was replaced by Freddie Diodatti, who fronted the foursome on their 1959 chart success 'The World Outside.' Dave and Sod left the group in the Sixties. The final member, Lou, left in 1976 to join the other members in a group, which was named The Original Four Aces, who continued to perform until 1957 .

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

I think I like Beach boys better than Four Aces . It 's include of many reason such as style of music , artists , the meaning of songs . The package of CD and the color of album .

<< Spirit of St Louis >>

2006-09-23T09:15:00.000-07:00

..........I think before I write about this movie Let's we talk about what is Spirit of St Louis ? Spirit of St. Louis is the named in honor of Lindbergh's supporters in St. Louis, Missouri, who paid for the aircraft. "NYP" is an acronym for "New York-Paris," the object of the flight . This movie is about On May 21 , 1927 , a young boy whose name is Charles A. Lindbergh . He is alone in airplane , flow nonstop in history . The flight 's name is Ryan NYP "Spirit of St. Louis" . The distance is bout 5,810 kilometers (3,610 miles) .

.......... He use times about 33 hours and 30 minutes for this flight . He passes many places such as Roosevelt Field on Long Island, New York, and Paris, France . The next , he wins the prize and he gets money $ 25,000 . It was offered by New York hotel owner Raymond Orteig to the first aviator to fly an aircraft directly across the Atlantic between New York and Paris . He interest to airplane 's building . He is a part of building . Everyone help together . He 's very exciting for this flight because it has only Lindbergh in the plane . If he meets the problem , he tries to slove by himself .

..........When the important day arrive , many people here for cheerful . He feel good impression . He brings a white fabric tie with the stick because he will know wind 's way . When the time that he will fly coming , he wants a mirror . A woman raise her hand and she brings her mirror to him . He puts it down on the plane . The important thing he brings the locket that Father give him when he teach Father fly . He says he wants to fly because he wants close God . While Lindbergh is flying , everyone would like to know about his news . It was reported by radio and newspaper . He has a new friend in the plane . It is a housefly .

..........He looks the map many times because he doesn't lose one's way . He feels tired so much . He wants to sleep but he can't . He thinks about the situation that pass because he doesn't sleep . Finally , he sleep while he flying on the Ocean . It ' s very dangerous because he is flying to Ocean . When I watch this scene I'm very exciting . But somthing help him , it is the mirror . The sunshine reflex with the mirror and it reflex to his eye . He wakes up . He 's very exciting and ge tries to control his plane . Sure !!! he safe .

..........He meets the problem about snow strom . He can't see way . The next , he sees land it is Le Bouget Field in Paris . Everyone waits him . They ' re exciting and run to him . In the same time , Lindbergh 's very happy and exciting . He can do it .

..........I think this movie gives many lessons for me such as before Charles A. Lindbergh will successful he meets many problem in his life . He must have spirit and mind body . I think this era has a few problem . They interest to new things . They like and learn about news from television .

<< Jim Reeves >>

2006-09-22T21:26:00.000-07:00

..........Reeves was born James Travis Reeves in Galloway . It is a small rural community near Carthage in southeastern Panola Country , Texas . Someone calls him ** crooner ** because he has velvety voice . After he injurHis first country hits included "I Love You" (a duet with Ginny Wright), "Mexican Joe", "Bimbo" and other songs on both Fabor Records and Abbott Recordses in his minor - league baseball in St. Louis Cardinals .

..........In early RCA Victor recordings , Reeves was still singing in the loud style of his recording . His style is standard for country-western performers at that time. In 1957 he was supported by his producer . His name is Chet Atkins . He used this new style on his version of a demo song of lost love, written from a woman's perspective (and intended for a female singer) . In 1959-1960 Reeves his scores has high greatest hit with the Joe Allison composition "He'll Have to Go," which earned him a Platinum Record . And in 1960 Reeves was popular than Elvis Plesley in South Africa . Someone says this is difficult because Elvis Plesley is famous singer . Reeves died when the small aircraft he was piloting crashed during a thunderstorm near Nashville , Tennessee .His business partner and manager Dean Manuel was also killed in the crash.

..........After he died his album still continues good sales both of old and new album . His widow, Mary, combined unreleased tracks with rerecorded previous releases (placing updated instrumentals alongside Reeves' original vocals) to produce a regular series of "new" albums after her husband's death. She also operated The Jim Reeves Museum in Nashville , Tennessee from the early 1980's until 1996. He was elected posthumously to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1967, and in 1998 he was inducted into the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame in Carthage, Texas, where the Jim Reeves Memorial is located .

Some of the songs he made famous were:
"According To My Heart"
"Angels Don't Lie"
"Anna Marie"
"Bimbo"
"Billy Bayou"
"The Blizzard"
"Blue Boy"
"Blue Side of Lonesome"
"Distant Drums"
"Drinking Tequila"
"A Fool Such as I"
"Four Walls"
"Guilty"
"He'll Have to Go"
"Home"
"I'd Fight The World"
"If Heartache is the Fashion"
"I Guess I'm Crazy"
"I Know One"
"I Love You Because"
"I'm Gettin' Better"
"I'm Gonna Change Everything"
"I Missed Me"
"Is It Really Over"
"Is This Me"
"It's Nothin' To Me"
"I Won't Come In While He's There"
"I Won't Forget You"
"Mexican Joe"
"Moonlight and Roses"
"Mother Went A'Walking"
"Partners"
"Rosa Rio"
"Stand At Your Window"
"The Writing's On The Wall"
"This is It"
"Welcome to My World"
"When You Are Gone"
"Yonder Comes a Sucker"

..........I think I like country song than Blues . When I listen Reeves 's songs , I feel good . It's not boring . I used to listen when I was young because when my father had free time , he always country song . My father like country song so much . So I think I like it too . When I listen I feel relax and I can open it every emotion such as happy , sad , disappoint etc . It's diiferent from rock if I feel sad and then I listen rock music . I feel bad again .

<< Children Shall Lead >>

2006-09-22T09:08:00.000-07:00

..........I ' m very happy A. Do you know why ? Because this movie is the first movie for after midterm that is color movie . I'm just kidding . This movie directed by Micheal Pressman . This movie set in Catesville , Missipssipi during Civil Right . This movie will concern about white and black people include of the political in civil Right .

..........The first scene , it starts at parc . Most of all are Black people and some are white people . They 're very happy with their family . Someone dances . Someone sleep on the ground . Rachel 's family are the Black people . They 're very happy too . Then , there are two whites shout t and underestimate Black people . They felt bad for this situation . Rachel 's father , his occupation is someone who paint or repair accessary . Sometimes he was embezzle by White . Rachel and her friends don't care about this problem . In her group has three White and three Black . They play together and then they ran to oil ststion . A bus stop at this pump . They want gas but the staffsdoesn't because they don't like Black . In the bus has Blacks .

..........The next day , the Black in the bus see someone is doing something wrong to his bus . He see two men and they drive red car for escaping . Sure !!! They are white men . He tries to call to the district-chief officer . The district-chief officer comes to oil station for examining . There are red car at oil station . He talks to two staffs about everything . In the public it seperate between White and Black people such as at the water public free for everyone . It was write that only White people . Sure !! it's not fair .

..........Black people in the bus tries to say something to minister and when district - chief officer see him . He warns Black . But he says he is the citizen of America so he has right . The next day , Blacks have meeting at church . Everybody go include of Rachel 's family .District-chief officer feels unsatisfy . He doesn't want to be like this . In next morning at parc Rachel's freinds , he is a Black . He was injure by two children white . White girl tries to stop but she can't . When Rachel arrives she see everthing , she tries to help her friend . She feels bad . The white girl feels bad too . So she goes to Rachel and tries to explain about everything . Finally , they have good relationship like before .

...........I think I believe that this problem very difficult to slove . I concern with the political . Everyone is the same human . They don't think about religious , citizen , nationality and racial barriers . Everyone has the equal right . I like the name of this movie . I think it can mean many meaning but for me I mean the children are good translate for adults . They can make good relationship between Whites and Blacks .

<< grapes of wrath >>

2006-09-21T20:42:00.000-07:00

..........The Grapes Of Wrath <> is director John Ford's most famous black and white epic drama . At the first , I think this movie concern about the grape , but it is not . The first scene , it starts from the main character . His name is Tommy . He came to his home but nobody in there . He thought his parents die . He was in jail and now he parole . He saw someone hid . He was Muley . Tommy tried to ask him for his family . Muley took everything to him . One day had a rich man . He tried to everyone include Tommy's family in this area must move out to this area . The next day , they brought the cat to the land . The cat is the caterpillar tractors for destroying the house . The cat's driver Joe's Dans boy who they know . He said he did it for money for $ 3 for his parents , children and food . He used the cat for destroying . He didn't care them .

..........So Tommy 's family went to Uncle John two weeks ago . The next day , Tom went to Uncle's home . He met his family . They were very glad to see him . Then , a man drove the car and said something to them . The next day , They went to California for finding work but grandfather didn't want to go . He wanted to stay there . They tried to find the method to bring him . It was successful . It had the bad thing , while they were travelling grandfather sick . Finally he died . Everyone felt bad . They buried a corpse of body's dead and they wrote the cause od death of grandfather .

..........They used 2-3 days for travelling . They mt a lot of problems . The grandmother sick . She always said to grandfather . Finally she died , this is the second bad situation for them . They stayed at the camp among their trip . Everyone would like to have works . While his mother was cooking , many children looked at her . She knew they wanted to eat . She gave food for her family and she divide to others . A man drove in the camp and asked who want to do work ? many people interest and they asked about wages and contract . That man didn't want to answer them .

..........The police in that car saw a man 's face . He thought he used to see him before . That man ran away .The police shot him . Tommy tried to help . He hit the police 's head . Casy is Tommy's friend tried to help Tommy . He was a good man . He wanted to acknowledge one's mistake Tommy . He was catch by the police . The next day , their car was over . A man passed and he said 40 miles up . There 's plenty of work look for the Keene Ranch . He wanted to walk around but the staff didn't allow . He escape and he met his friend . He was Casy . He talked together . The staffs saw them and shot Casy . Sure !!!! he died . Tommy felt bad and he came back to his home . His family unhappy and worry about him . So they decided to escape . They talked others that they can find new job . That was a good reason .

..........They went to new place . The owners are the government . They have fringe benefit to their employees such as on Saturday had party for employees , good surrounding , good jobs and good friends . But finally Tommy left from his family for some reason but he promiesd to his mother he will came back again .

..........From this movie , I know about social space .This problem have for a long time in social . It's very difficult to solve this problem . The rich men will only take benefit from poor people . I think in this era <> has many people who want to find job . They want money for food , any expense etc . This movie show that everyone love the place where they born . It has bad feeling when see their house was destroy by someone . The government should solve this problem for decrease social space problem .

<< Citizen Kane >>

2006-09-18T01:16:00.000-07:00

Citizen Kane is the movie about inquire movie . It was the first feature film directed by Orson Welles, who had previously directed two short films . This movie is about the history . It happens from a man died and after he talked one word " Rosebud " . His name was Charles Foster Kane . He was very rich man . He had his business such newspaper , radio in America . He died in 1941 . Everyone tried to find the meaning of this word because they thought it is riddle especially the reporter . They tried to found the truth by they found the resume of Kane . They begun the person who Kane's close . Kane was successful in his life both of the business and political except love .

.........He married two times . The first wife was Emily . She was a President's neice . They had a son . They begun to dispute together because she knew Kane had an another woman . Her name was Xuzan . She is his wife in the future . Emily felt bad with her husband . They divorced . The next , Kane married to the second wife . Her name was Xuzan . She liked to song especially opera . He set the school of opera for her . He was a rich man who can buy the biggest diamond . The reporter goes to Leland . He is Kane 's friend . The reporter try to find the meaning of " Rosebud " . Leland try to explain about this word .

........Kane used money for everything that they wanted . He loved Xuzan so much . He built playhouse for her opera . Everyone thought her voice wasn't good . When someone comment her show in newspaper and letter , she felt unsatisty . Their house was very big like the castle . They begun to dispute together . Finally , Xuzan decided herself and she divorced . He tried to request her but he can't .

........Now he stayed alone in big castle . He went to Xuzan's room and he distroyed her things . He picked up a thing . It liked a small ball . This thing that is the thing in his hand before he died . After the reporter try to find this secret , he think " Rosebud is the emblem of the security, hope and innocence of childhood, which a man can spend his life seeking to regain .

......After I watch this movie I think at thebegining of this movie similar because they try to find cause of death . They try to the evidence . Some part of Citizan Kane make me know about the history such as frighting for grasping Panama between America and Spain . And the most important thing of the lesson of this movie is although you are rich man and you can buy everythinf that you want . But you can't buy love .*-*

Sunset Blvd.

2006-09-16T08:32:00.000-07:00

This movie is the first that no color movie for me . So at the first I think it 's not interesting for me . But when I watch it is a good movie . This movie directed by Billy Wilder . It was written by Charles Brackett &Billy Wilder .The first I think we should know about what is Sunset Boulevard . It is a street in the western part of Los Angeles County, California . This situation happened on Sunset Boulevard . The polices and the correspondent came to the luxury home of Norma. It had a dead body float on the pool . He was shot . It began from the writer . His name is Gillis. Now he wanted money for payment his car . The loaner try to follow him . He wanted money about 290 pounds . He drove and escape them . He met a big home and he thought nobody at here . He brought his car to the garage . He met Norma. When she knew he is a writer , she brought something that she made to him .

.....She was very rich person . She married three times . He wanted to came back his home on the next day . He told address to her . The next day , she asked her servant take everything from his apartment to here . His servant's name was Max . Max was the first husband of her .He was unsatisfy . Then , she bought everything for him such as clothes , suit etc. Sure , She fell in love him but he loved Betty. She was a girlfriend of Artie . Artie is a friend of Gillis . I think this is wrong . Norma would like to return to super star like she was teenager . Everyday she recieve many letters to her . One day Paramount call her . It is a big company for doing the movie . She was very happy . But it had problem , we wanted to rent her car . She didn't know about anything . When she went to Paramount with Gillis . He met Betty. He was very happy . They met everyday . One day Norma knew her hunband contated with another women . She was very angry . She tried to contact Betty . Yes, she can . Gillis heared everything . He disputed with her . He told address to Betty .

....The next , she came to home . He pretended he didn't love Betty because he fear she will suicide . After , he kept his package . She was very nervous . She didn't want to be like this . She shot him and he fell in the pool . In the end she was mad and she still dream to saper star . Everything was reveal .

....After I watch this movie I think the gamble appear for long time . The rich people who is in high class very confident and don't care about feeling of others . They think money can buy everything include of love .

*-*

I think this story is about adventure and love of father that have to daughter and grandchild . Everyone when he does something wrong he feels bad . He has his reason such as from this story Samuel doesn't to attend to leave his family . He leaves for praying for his family for thier life . Mother can do everything for her child . She doesn't think about dangerous . Each age someone think women like the thing . They can buy by money . The black magic still use for harming the enemy or someone who we don't like it .

I think this film is Romantic story . The people in that period , they meet the war . It makes lose . Nobody like war . They exhaust their family but everyone always persist to religion . They would like to have party in Chirstmas . I think Scarlett is a stable in love but sometimes it's depend on situation and suitable . She should restrain one's passion because he has his family . She should control one's mind . After she marry to Rhett , she should take care her family because Rhett loves her so much . Scarlett is a good woman because she has patient and she doesn't discourage with any trouble . After I watch this film I can bring many ideas . Its have both of good thing and bad thing . It 's depend on what we will choose to de .

After I saw the movie , Yearing I think this story is the story that I like better than Song of Hiawatha and Mountain men . The first ,when I saw the name of this movie I think it's not interest story but I think wrong . This story directed by : Clarence Brown . It ' s about a boy who was Jody . His family worked about famer . He lived in Florida . His parents loved him so much because Jody was the last son and Jody 's brothers death . Jody would like to have a pet but his mother don't allow him . So he tries to talk with his father about this story . His father didn't deny . One day he met a baby deer . He tries to talk with his parents about this story . The name of the yearling was Flag . He loved Flag so much . He would like to bring Flag to his friend saw . Jody's closest friend is Fodderwing . He was strange, crippled boy who lived a mile distant in a house full of rowdy brothers and uncles . But it's too late because he dead . Jody felt bad and he cried when he saw his friend sleep on the bed . Jody was a good boy . He helped his parents for growing plant . One day his parents looked like to have somrthing to tell him that 's a bad thing . Flag ate corn and it walked on the plant so their plant damage . Jody felt bad but he tries to grow corn for solve this problem . He tries to build the fence for protecting Fage didn't went to the area where he grow corn . He did everthing by himself because his father sick . His mother saw that her son did it among raining so she help him . His father proud in his son . But finally , after everything finished everyone thouht everything is ok but Flag tries to jump across the fence yes it can do it . In the morning the parents talked about this story with their son . They wanted Jody brought his yearling let and shot it . Jody shocked with his father ' s words . He couldn't . The next day , Flag came back to Jody ' house again and something that 's not expect happen his mother shot it by herself . When Jody heard he run quickly he knew it was Flag . He 's very sad . He angry their parents and he ran away to the forest . He tried to hungy so he slept . Someone met him and took him to the home . When their parents saw him they didn't believe that they saw . They thought the last son dead but it didn't .

I like this story when I compare with the others . I like the story this style . This movie shows that in the past especially in the country many family are farmer . Human can life with the animal . They have good relationship . I think I like the first scene when Jody sits near the river everything is the natural , good views . And the scene that the three dogs ound up the black bear . It shows that they have the royal to the owner . I know about the culture of American the marriage of Oliver who are father's friend . Some scenes , Its make me cry . There are three scenes such as when Jody knows his friend dies , when Jody saw Flag dies I think he's very poor and the last scene is when Jody comes back to his home and their parents see him. I think this is a good movie . If you have chance you should watch it .

YahOOoo.......ooo!!!!!!!!!!

This is song ** I'm so glad **

I'm so glad, I'm so glad. I'm glad, I'm glad, I'm glad.
I'm so glad, I'm so glad. I'm glad, I'm glad, I'm glad.
I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do.
I'm tired of weeping, I'm tired of moaning, I'm tired of crying for you.

Chorus

I'm tired of weeping, I'm tired of moaning, I'm tired of groaning for you.
I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do.

Chorus

Repeat Chorus Five Times

When I read and search the biography of Skip James and musical works I think his song is the country song but when I finish from listening both of Crow Jane and Devil Got My Woman . It will stress song more than music . It's very difficult to listen and know the meaning . Sometimes I think this music similar to idia music HaHa!!!! . It has a low tone but I think He is good guy he is an obstract man . He can adapt himself with everywhere because he always move to many places .

The Mountain Men

The Mountain Men

This movie directed by Richard Lang and Writing credits Fraser Clarke Heston

This story is during the time period the men were called Mountaineers, it was later they became known as Mountain Men... spend some time and visit with them...Mountain men were trapper and explorer that roamed the Rocky Mountain from about 1810 to the early 1840s. These were primarily beaver trappers, but included some who just wanted to explore the West.
The stereotypical mountain man was depicted as a loner dressed in animal pelts, sporting bushy facial hair and carrying a muzzle loader and butcher knife , commonly referred to as a "scalpin' knife." Although depicted wearing pelts and furs, it is an incorrect description. For a more accurate depiction, look at the art work of Aflred Jacob Miller . While there were many free trapper, most mountain men were employed by fur companies. The life of a company man was almost militarized. The men had mess groups, hunted and trapped in brigades and always reported to the head of the trapping party. This man was called a "boosway", a bastardization of Bourgeois. He was the leader of the brigade, the head trader and overall CEO. Some mountain men were gruff, while others were well-mannered; however, they were romanticized as honorable men with their own chivalrous code who would help their brethren, but were more at home in the wild . *-*

I think this story can give the lesson for me such as they teach the skills and help develop the abilities which were actually needed and used by the original Mountain Men etc. They have a trust between their members that is a good thing for living .

Song of Hiawatha

2006-06-18T23:05:00.000-07:00

This story is about the legend and story of North America Indian tribes, but especially those of the Ojibway Indians of northern Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota . They were collected by Henry Rowe Schoolcraft, the reknowned historian, pioneer explorer, and geologist from 1836 to 1841 . He married Jane . Jane was a daughter of John Johnston, an early Irish fur trader, and O-shau-gus-coday-way-qua . Jane and her mother are credited with having researched, authenticated, and compiled much of the material Schoolcraft included in his Algic Researches (1839) and a revision published in 1856 as The Myth of Hiawatha. It was this latter revision that Longfellow used as the basis for The Song of Hiawatha.

Song of Hiawatha by Henry Wadsworth .

From this movie I think Schoolcraft is hero for me he always love Jane . He is a brave man and when after I saw this movie I think I know about the history of North America Tribe and the culture especially the livestyle of them that different from now .
