Der Film “die bleierne Zeit“ beschriet eine Geschichte über zwei Schwestern, die die beide zur Generation68 gehörten. Die ältere Schwester war Juliane. Sie arbeitete als eine Journalistin für ein feministisches Magazin. Die andere Schwester, die Marianne heißt, war eine Terroristin. Sie gehörte zur die Organisation RAF.
Die Zeit gegen 1968 war sehr stark und schwer wegen verschidenen Konflikte, Vietnam Krieg, Große Koalition zwischen SPD und CUD, kalter Krieg zwischen Kommunismus und Kapitalismus. Gleichzeitig hat eine neue Kulture innerhalb der Jugend entwirklt. Obwohl frueher die Studierenden keine Lust fuer die Politik hatten, langsam fanden sie, dass es nicht nur in der Politik konservative Ideologien gab, sondern auch in der ganzen Welt. Die Jugend kritisirten alles, von der deutsche Regierung, der alte Generation, zur weltweiten Politik. Die neue Generation68 wollte eine Welt, die die Jugend getraumt haben. Sie moechten die alte Welt veraendern. Deshalb hatte damals zwei unterschiedliche Ideologien, eine war Reform, die andere war Gewalt, die so genannt Terrorismus.
Jetzt begin der Film. Juliana repräsentierte die Ideologie Reform, Marianna repräsentierte natuerlich die Terrorismus. Zwar die beide wollten eine bessere Gesellschaft, aber sie verachteten sich ueber die Wege, die die selbst gewaehlen haben. So in dem ganzen Film existierte der Konflikt immer. Aber ich interessiere mich besonders fuer die grosse Veraenderung der Schwestern,von der Kindheit zu dem Erwachsensein. Was laesst die beide veraendern? Das ist aber eine schwierge Frage.
Als die Schwestern klein waren, sie lebten in einer autoritären Familie, in der ihrer Vater die Macht war. Sie mussten alles was ihrer Vater sagte machen. Aber Juliana war damal ziemlich rebellisch. Sie zog black jeans, rauchte. Ihre Frisur war sowie eine hippie. Sie machte alles gegen die Tradition. Im Vergleich zu Juiana war Marianne ein Kontrast. Sie war suess, gehorsam. Interessant ist dass, wenn sie groesser wurden, war Marianna ganz rebellisch. Ich glaube, die Weltanschauung wird in der kindkeit entdenkt. Als Marianna ein Kind war, war die Atmosphaere in der Familie sehr repressive und autoritaer, aber als die Zeit verging, Marianne hat gesehen, dass die Gesellschaft nichts aendert hat. Die grosse Koalition, der Krieg... Deshalb hat sie im Film gesagt: Gedanken aendern nichts! Nur die Gewalt laesst die Gesellschaft und auch den Gedanken veraendern, sMarianne glaubte.
Started from yesterday, continually has been watching for two days, except being cut by classes. Anyway, finished! It was a simple, nice story. A baby-looking girl tried her best to prove that her beauty was all she has, but also intelligence, by being admitted into Havard law school. And she did quite a nice job in law studying. Although her boyfriend told her that he had to be with someone smart and good. By smart and good he meant someone who can be admitted by Havard law school and have an outstanding family background. Obviously she had give her boyfirend a good laugh. P.s. her boyfriend has the narrowst definition of being good! But is I were this girl, probably I won't do the same, except that I would also want to improve that I am too can be excellent. But I will use another way.To improve some thing does not mean that I have to choose a subject which I do not like. I am sure that this blond girl does not like law at all at the beginning.
.....I am too sleepy now, brain power runs out...switch back to Chinese... 春睏的厲害，沒力氣寫英文了...
I didnot know that they are called IL DIVO until one small accident. One day I was in Internet, searching some pics, and bang! I saw them, and I can clearly recall one image which was printed in my head very deep. I donot know which world cup it was, but I knew the song was sang by four incredible handsome gentlemen. I remember the first time I saw them on TV, they were walking in the football field in the night, wearing suit, bright white lights made the football stadium like a large stage, then they sang. I was immediately attracted by them and was conquered. They were so...... charming and classic! Now I know that not only are they handsome, but also excellent singers! Everytime I saw them on the stage, singing...Oh..My Amun-Re...killing me...Why are they so deadly charming?! I think I ama kind of person who likes classic gentleman... Love them!!
Twice, I watched. And after that the only reaction was staying still. What should I say and what should I react? I wanna be proud but I felt sorrow, I was sad but meanwhile I was excited. How great this Palace! Far beyond expression.
Recently, I found my musical new love-Vitas! Oh My Amun-Re, I can not stop picturing him with the legendary singer Falliyeli. His voice is so.......Beautiful and incredible. .....I can not express....Oh my!!

According to the legend, this stone has been absorbing all the good deeds of the world over the whole history of mankind.

The show included 42 styles of ladies’ outfits some of which had already been displayed in Alma-Ata, Vilnius, Berlin, Tashkent, Tel Aviv, Ashkelon.

from Douban.Com: 这部纪录片以及新书讲述的故事发生在1980年，当时一群建筑工人在南耶路撒冷附近地区挖地基时，发现一处两千年前的洞穴及坟墓。坟墓中有10个骨头盒， 其中5个盒子上所记下的名字与《新约》中的关键人物有关，其中一副棺木刻有“犹大，耶稣之子”的字样。后来，这些骸骨经过DNA对比检测，被确认它们之间 没有血缘关系，但科学家们却据此推测其中有可能包括耶稣的妻子。他们还推断耶稣结过婚，妻子是抹大拉的玛利亚，两人还诞下了一名儿子，取名犹大，两母子死 后都是同样葬在那个墓穴内。影片中提出两大问题：第一，该遗物（骨头）是否可靠？确实是属于耶稣的尸骨吗？第二，如果这骨头果然是属于耶稣的，它会不会打 破基督教神学的宣称，耶稣是从死里复活的信仰呢？
I just finished this documentary. Years ago, from a rediscovery of a tomb in Jerusalem revealed something extraordinary. One of 5 sarcophagi covered the name of " Jesus, the son of Joseph". Some scholars assumed that this maybe the discovery of the real Jesus in history. But some scholars remained very suspicious about this assumption. They argued that Jesus was a very common name in ancient times, so they denied the possibility that the bones in that sarcophagus were the remainings from Jesus. I am not going to argue whether or not those bones were really Jesus' or not, but all I wanna say is that sometimes I think those so called scholars are "dumm", they always think about things within the framework.Personally I feel that history needs sometimes imagination. Those scholars can not even admit the teeny tiny possibility that they did find the Jesus. Anyway I think an important part which scholars should work on is to have more courages.
Most people say that fairy tale is always fairy tale, it can be true. Of course, I do not deny this point. But I also see that people tend to be too realistic that they forget how to imagine, how to hope. I think people born to have a talent of being pure, however, with the time goes by, this gift slowly disappeared. It is sad. Sometimes I am glad that I am a little "kindlich", the world outside is too complicated, like 1900 said" I did not see an end, but the piano always has an end, 88 keys." World is a complex, we have to face it, but we ahve to keep our nature, follow the heart, and do it right. Evil is always defeated by justice. Princess always has a prince. Fairy land is walys a paradise...these are not true, yes, but I can make them right in my heart.
Great harvest,great harvest... I received a number of wonderful New Age Musics, like Instrumental Paradise Volume from Mehdi, Homecoming from Jim Brickman, Erotic Moods from Nusound, Nights from the Alhambra from Loreena McKennitt, they are all great musicians, thanks to their beautiful work!And I am almost done with me book, the Search for Omm Sety, and reading a new one, the Last Empress. Film, yes, film...Zodiac, Becoming Jane, solino,The Nativity Story, Alien Vs. Predator, Criminal Minds
Elbosco was the name of a joint Spanish musical group that achieved world success with the song Nirvana in 1995.
The group consisted of the boys choral group of the Escolanía del Real Monasterio of San Lorenzo, with boys between 9 and 14 years old along with adult instrumentalists and soloists. In 1995, the group released the disk Angelis, with the hit song Nirvana which was used by Danny Boyle in the film 'Millions'. The music, a mixture of Gregorian chants with hip-hop and techno, with a mixture of Latin and English vocals, attained international fame. They also released a Portuguese version of the disk with the same title. The group mixed classical music, boys chorus and synth generated sounds, resulting in a sound similar to that of Enigma.
In the monastery, 100 boys are selected for their musical talent and presented in white robes.
Since the arrival of Elbosco, several similar groups arose, but did not attain the same success as Nirvana.

I was upset, but thank Amun-Re, there is another way to order those tickets, but they will expensive. I wanna see this play for a long time, money is totally not a problem here. So it turns out that one ticket belongs to me now,hahaha
Aida is a musical drama in two acts based on Giuseppe Verdi's Italian-language opera by the same name, which is in turn based on a story by Auguste Mariette. The musical was produced by Hyperion Theatricals, a unit within Disney Theatrical, with music by Elton John, lyrics by Tim Rice, and book by Linda Woolverton, Robert Falls, and David Henry Hwang. Elaborate Lives: The Legend of Aida had its world premier at the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia with the production running from September 16 to November 8, 1998. A new, revised production opened on November 12, 1999 at the Cadillac Palace in Chicago. The Broadway production, titled Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida, ran at the Palace Theatre from March 23, 2000 and September 4, 2004 for a total of 1,852 performances (and 30 previews). There was also produced a national tour and several international productions. Disney has granted production rights for various regional theater productions as well. In the Egyptian wing of a modern museum, a man and a woman touring the exhibit catch each other's eyes. A statue of Amneris, a female Pharaoh, comes to life ("Every Story is a Love Story"). Amneris transports us to ancient Egypt, where Radames, captain of the Egyptian army, is returning from an expedition through the land of Nubia, Egypt's long-time enemy ("Fortune Favors the Brave"). When his soldiers capture a group of Nubian women, he finds himself captivated by the fierce and majestic Aida, the only woman who makes any attempt to resist ("The Past is Another Land"). After arriving in Egypt, Aida is saved from death in the copper mines by Radames, who sends her as a handmaiden to his betrothed, Princess Amneris. Radames' father, Chief Minister Zoser, greets his son with news that the Pharaoh is dying, and Radames must prepare to become the next ruler of Egypt ("Another Pyramid"). Unbeknownst to Radames, his father is poisoning the Pharaoh in order to accelerate Radames' ascension to the throne. Radames' Nubian servant, Mereb, is a young man who has learned the tricks of survival in Egypt. While delivering Aida to the princess, Mereb recognizes her as the daughter of the Nubian king under whom he'd served during his days in Nubia. She commands him to keep her identity a secret, lest the Egyptians kill her ("How I Know You"). Presented to Amneris, Aida is liked immediately, and she perceives that the Princess' love of fashion only serves as a mask of her insecurities ("My Strongest Suit"). At a banquet Amneris and Radames learn from the Pharaoh that they are to marry in seven days, leaving the captain distraught that his days as an explorer have ended ("Fortune Favors the Brave (Reprise)"*). Together, he and Aida share their dreams and regrets ("Enchantment Passing Through").. Later that night, Amneris worries about her father's illness, and finds in Aida someone who understands and encourages her ("My Strongest Suit (Reprise)"). Bursting into his fiancée's chamber, Radames steals a moment with Aida to share his growing attraction to her. Aida is taken by Mereb to the Nubian camp, where she submits to her people's pleas to lead them ("Dance of the Robe"). When she implores Radames to help the Nubians, he opens his heart by giving his possessions to them ("Not Me") and declaring his love for her ("Elaborate Lives"). Unable to fight her feelings any longer, she falls into his embrace. Their bliss is interrupted by news that Radames' armies have captured Amonasro, king of Nubia and Aida's father. Unable to comfort her, Radames leaves Aida in distress. Rallying her people, Aida assures them that Nubia will never die ("The Gods Love Nubia"). Aida, Amneris, and Radames are entangled in conflicted loyalties and emotions ("A Step Too Far"). Aida and Mereb bribe their way into Amonasro's prison cell, where she's reunited with her father. Mereb hatches a plan to escape with the king during the commotion of Amneris' wedding. To save her father and her nation, Aida must betray the man she loves ("Easy as Life"). Meanwhile, Zoser discovers Radames' affair and warns his son that it could cost him the throne, but Radames no longer shares his father's ambitions ("Like Father, Like Son"). After an emotional bout with his son, Zoser orders his men to find Aida and kill her. At the Nubian camp, Aida receives a written apology from Radames for the thoughtless way he acted upon hearing of Amonasro's capture ("Radames' Letter"). When Egyptian soldiers arrive seeking Aida, another Nubian, Nehebka, sacrifices herself so that the princess can live. Now even more determined to leave Radames forever, Aida goes to say good-bye to him over Mereb's objections ("How I Know You (Reprise)"). Radames informs Aida that he's calling off the wedding. Aida knows that this would ruin her father's escape and tells him he must go through with it ("Written in the Stars"). Radames agrees, on condition that she escape to freedom on a boat he will provide. The heartbroken lovers part, but Amneris has overheard their entire conversation and tries to face the fact that her upcoming marriage is a sham ("I Know the Truth"). News of Amonasro's escape disrupts Amneris' wedding. Radames learns the truth of Aida's identity when he arrives at the docks just as she's about to board his boat with her father. In the chaos, Zoser slays Mereb and Radames makes possible Amonasro's escape. Then he and Aida are arrested for treason. At the ensuing trial, Pharaoh sentences both Aida and Radames to be buried alive. Amneris reprises her role as future Pharaoh by convincing her father to let the lovers die in the same tomb, an act of mercy for two people she has come to love. Facing death, Aida looks to Radames for strength ("Elaborate Lives (Reprise)"). As they are slowly deprived of light and air ("Enchantment Passing Through (Reprise)"), Radames swears he will search through a hundred lifetimes to find her again. Back in the contemporary museum, the spirit of Amneris watches as the modern man and woman are strangely drawn to each other. They are the reincarnations of Aida and Radames, finding in each other a new beginning ("Every Story is a Love Story (Reprise)").
Prem Joshua, a trange name to me one minute ago, after enjoying his wonderful music, I became his big fan, like I am the fan of Enigma and Era. But Joshua is totally different from Enigma and Era. If Enigma and Era are pure New Age music, then Joshua's is more ethnic, his is totally a combination of various elements, for example ethnic music, especailly Idian music, electronic music, and wentern music. But the result is seemly terribly good. Here is the Chinese introduction of Prem Joshua, I copied from a website.
Prem Joshua创造一种跨越界限的音乐综合体.他在印度与欧洲旅游超过20年,学习研究过印度最优秀音乐家,包括: 锡塔尔琴艺术大师Ustad Usman Khan和其它印度知名音乐人.他是一个多才多艺的音乐家,不仅吹奏印度长笛与高音sax,而且创作编写出属于自己独特的融合东西方音乐元素的韵律…….Prem Joshua出生于于德国的音乐世家,他从小就学习弹奏电吉他与吹奏萨克斯风,后来更成为一个优秀的吹笛手.十几岁开始演奏各种各样的rock, jazz and fusion bands,他总是寻找新的方式来表达扩展他的音乐.第一次接触印度音乐是在16岁时听到在孟加拉国的一个音乐会演奏专辑,其中就有印度音乐大师Ravi Shankar 的锡塔尔琴演奏.他回忆说:”我从未听过这样的音乐,这超越我音乐理解范围与经验,但这是极其美好且深刻,它陌生但神秘----触动心灵’’18岁在读高中时,他离开家乡,准备去印度实现自己的音乐计划.游历希腊、土耳其、伊朗、阿富汗和巴基斯坦，他向每个地方音乐家请教,学习当地乐曲的吹奏,沐浴东方传统音乐的熏陶.当他最后到达印度,仿如游子回家.他在德里立刻买了一个价值不斐的锡塔尔琴,它很快成为他生命的一部分."在这里我发现了我要寻找的音乐和灵感的源泉. 我开始与世界各地的音乐家合作演出,其中就有印度艺术大师Ustad Usman Khan,他也是我的锡塔尔琴老师”.经过这些年Joshua更精进他特殊的声音,融合了古老印度演变旋律的乐器编曲,现代电子与民族节奏舞曲,他创造性的音乐融合风格得到东.西音乐评论家、爱好者和记者的一直认同,在印度他唱片销售超过40000张,他已然成为"new guru of fusion."(fusion新的宗师).Prem Joshua与多才多艺的tabla和santoor以及Manish Vyas一道,从马来西亚开始进行了世界巡回演出.在日本、以色列、印度、欧洲和美国得到高度评介和轰动. Prem Joshua现居住在意大利的托斯卡纳.Prem Joshua的音乐很难用归类于属于何种音乐类型,印度传统音乐、爵士乐、世界音乐、电子音乐.....他的音乐专辑畅销于印度,但世界对他了解不多,是"一个被低估的天才的演奏家和作曲家".

Anna and the King is one of my favourite movies. I like it because it is exotic and romatic. The love affaire between a commer and a King is attractive, besides it happens in a land with very unique culture and tradition.
I used to think that this story must be a pure fiction, but since the book I have read yesterday, I knew that it was true.
Once there was a young lady, whose husband was dead of war, was invited by a King in Tailand to be his children's teacher. She was called also Anna. She took his son with her and did go to Tailand.Thsi was brave action for a woman in 18th century(Maybe, I can't remember the time). Anna was special, because she was absorbed by all those foreign sight, so significant, so beyong the expression. She liked exploration very much, she once went to the Great Temple of Angkor Wat, and was completely conquered by the magnificant beauty of the temple. She thought the temple was the heaven on earth. Indeed I think so too, hehe. She went to the court of this Tailand King and spent there maybe several mounths or years, I do not know. And I also don't know whether they had love between them. Maybe the love is fiction. During the stay, Anna wrote a book called : The King and I, recording the events there. What she experienced, what she saw in the palace, waht she heard...
Just now I was searching some films to kill time, all of a sudden a name jumped into my eyes: The King and I. Waha, there is a film about this story even before the film Anna and the King. I immediately began to download it. Hahaha:>
Stars fade like memory the instant before dawn. Low in the east, the sun appears golden as an opening eye. That which can be named must exist. That which is named can be written. That which is written shall be remembered. That which is remembered lives. In the land of Egypt Osiris breaches. The sun rises and mists disperse. As I am, I was, and I shall be a thing of matter and heaven.
Twice, I watched. And after that the only reaction was staying still. What should I say and what should I react? I wanna be proud but I felt sorrow, I was sad but meanwhile I was excited. How great this Palace! Far beyond expression.
