Re:
"I'm talking about
" 'Ulysses' as in
"The Trojan War..."
Hoping to provide some claritas:
Homer wrote 2 Epic Poems:
1)"The Odyssey"
whose hero is Odysseus
[o-DI-soos]
--the I like the "i" in "if".
Latinized = Ulysses
This is the Western World's
first (poetic) novel & has
the world's first "flashback"
--used constantly in cinema.
The story of Odysseus' long
struggle to get home, & also to try save
his sea companions,after the fall of Troy.
2) "The Illiad"
This second Epic Poem includes
The Trojan War.
(Prequal to "The Odyssey")
No other Western poet since Homer
has ever written two Epic Poems.
Homer was blind.
An Epic
is a long poem containing history.
Both Epics were sung, in keeping w/ the
Oral Tradition.
Gutenberg's press silenced poetry.
[McLuhan: The Gutenberg Galaxy]

| Feb-19-12 | | TheSlid: Hi Jess, I was on the Kingscrusher channel (again!! - Tryfon is a funny guy) and strayed once again onto some of your most beautiful historical videos - this time Charousek - a Hungarian player I had never really heard of before. Lovely music, although given that 1970's rock would be my chosen genre, I can't say that I recognised much of it - very contemporary (to late 19th century) Viennese would be my best guess. |

 | | jessicafischerqueen: <lamont> It's good to see you in firm command on Bobby's page again. Thank goodness! And what a banner day it will be when <The Focus> gets his book out. At the moment, that's the only chess history book I'm interested in obtaining. Right now, I have all the ones I want in order to do the research I'm doing at the moment. Thanks for all those links and suggestions about documentary films and funding- I will certainly investigate those leads. |

| | jessicafischerqueen: <The Slid> kind of sad to see you without the Godzilla avatar. Do you remember when you called <dom> a "miserable git" for correctly anticipating that he wouldn't be celebrating St. Paddy's? That was years ago but it's one of my all time favorite posts. For ages I thought <switch> had said it, until <boomie> cleared it up for me. Most of the music from <Charousek> is Hungarian, and yes from around the time frame you suggest. |

| Feb-20-12 | | playground player: <Jessicafischerqueen> What's your favorite Kurosawa film? I'm partial to the ones he did in the 50s and early 60s, in black & white--7 Samurai, Yojimbo, Sanjuro, Hidden Fortress, etc. It's funny how Kurosawa's films are still just as enjoyable as they always were, but Ingmar Bergman's make me shake my head and wonder what I ever saw in them. |

Let him show his works by a good life

Wisdom of this kind does not come down from above

| | jessicafischerqueen: <Pgp> I didn't get where I am today without watching the uncut (black and white) five and a half hour version of "Seven Samurai" at a special screening at my university. My favorite <K-dawg> black and whiter is "Castle of the Spider Web" (released in the US as "Throne of Blood"), which is his version of MacBeth. I also love many of his color films, particularly "Ran" (King Lear) and "Kagemusha- the Shadow Warrior". |
|
| Feb-20-12 | | Travis Bickle: Thanks Jess for your musical input! I love that Hope Sandoval comment LOL! She reminds me a lot of Mazzy Star. The Sundays version was really good too. On That video of Wild Horses did you notice the charisma The Stones had? That's why I put them right up there with The Beatles because of that charisma. The Who didn't quite have it. Here's a 1995 version of Wild Horses by The Rolling Stones for their 'Stripped' album when everybody was doing unplugged performances. http://youtu.be/EhVLiHPUOIM |
