...А дарвинизм и Быков -
Две вещи несовместные. Не правда ль?
Дискуссия же носителей принципиально различных мышлений приводит лишь к одному: "победе" тех, у кого сильнее глотка (под "глоткой", разумеется, следует понимать комплекс риторических навыков, хотя бывает, что и глотку буквально... © a_paschenko
Make Way for Tomorrow следует сравнивать с Tokio Story, конечно. разница - меньше 20 лет, но Make Way for Tomorrow под конец превращается в хорошую, но мелодраму, в то время как Tokio Story от начала до конца - [нео]реализм, прямой и жесткий. снято отлично, однако, и много вполне реалистических сцен в Make Way for Tomorrow, вплоть до последней четверти фильма.
«Отец! Вскричали все: «обрадуй бедных нас!
Одной лишь милости притом мы просим,
Чтоб суток через пять
Он умер бы опять.
В живом в нем не было здесь проку никакова,
Да вряд ли будет и вперед;
А как умрет,
То выть по нем наймут нас, верно, снова».
As a young man, he attended Riverdale Country School in the Bronx and showed great promise, along with an ability to ingratiate himself with powerful people. - Candidate’s Words on Vietnam Service Differ From History
Then my wife went and bought a new hat. Seventy-two francs! And it looks like a pot that's been turned upside down! I don't mind paying for something of quality, something that lasts, but that hat... It won't even last her two seasons. And at her age! What she could do with is a shroud! I would have paid for that with pleasure... David Golder
As an old-fashioned bardolator, I am hurt when I contemplate the real harm Shakespeare has done to the Jews for some four centuries now. No representation of a Jew in literature ever will surpass Shylock in power, negative eloquence and persuasiveness. - Harold Bloom, The Jewish Question: British Anti-Semitism
Unlike many other emotions, embarrassment must be learned. Infants know nothing of this emotion, and parents often use the threat of embarrassment to teach young children correct and incorrect behavior: "If you say that in public, you'll embarrass yourself," we say to the toddler with a penchant for scatological chitchat. Embarrassment is also a social emotion; its occurrence requires the real or imagined presence of others. Belch at a dinner party and you will likely feel embarrassed; do it while home alone and you're unlikely to feel abashed. Because it is a learned behavior grounded in social relations, embarrassment is a kind of barometer for a society's notions of civility. - The Death of Embarrassment
"Non-shared experiences can make me differ from my twin but shared ones cannot make us more similar? An experience can affect my psychological development, but only if it does not also happen to my twin? Interactions with peers and teachers can have lasting effects on me but interactions with my parents cannot? Not only does this notion not make intuitive sense, there is no evidence for it. It seems far more likely that most non-traumatic experiences, regardless of who they are with, have little long-lasting effect on the kinds of traits that define us as persons. What then can account for the unexplained variance?" - Nature, Nurture and Noise
