condensation trails are a common feature in the sky . but those which richard henkes saw on june 13 , 2013 , in rheinstetten , are really unusual . a number of parallel contrails do not only cast their shadows onto the screen of high cirrus clouds , but also onto a narrow bank of stratocumulus clouds ( 1 – 2 ) . due to the different altitude of the two cloud layers , the angle of vision is different for each of the layers . this is why the shadows do not appear parallel to the contrails . also their shadows in the atmosphere appear under a different angle as these are cast downwards . so they “stand” in the air , and their angle corresponds to the sun elevation at the moment the photo was taken . the shadows on the low clouds , however , are flat or only a little tilted according to the shape of the clouds . both shadows , the one in the atmosphere as well as the one on the clouds , are seen laterally , which makes a sharp bend appear . and not all contrails and shadows are parallel because the airplanes which caused the contrails did not all fly parallely .
the name comes from their frequent occurrences during twilight hours ( those around dawn and dusk ) , when the contrasts between light and dark are the most obvious . crepuscular comes from the latin word “crepusculum” , meaning twilight .

every day one can see shadows pointing away from the sun , but in rare cases there are also shadows visible in sunward direction . these shadows are projected against the sky . seeing those spooky phenomena requires a low sun elevation , a high object which seems to tower above the sun , and a transparent “screen” of fog between the observer and the object . in the morning of september 11 , 2013 , ulf köhler observed such a phenomenon on the hoher peißenberg ( 998m ) . the shadow of the dome of the mariä himmelfahrt pilgrimage church appeared in passing wafts of mist . when ulf köhler changed his position within the shadow of the steeple , the shadow of the dome also changed its appearance .

the lifeless bodies of twilight , rarity , fluttershy , applejack , pinkie pie , and rainbow dash lie on the ground . shadow stands up to mephiles , beaten to the pulp .
the sun is perceived as low standing – lower than the clouds . the shadows , necessarily on the other side of the shadowing object , reach higher in the sky , and the illusion is perfect : the shadows must project upwards . but the actual circumstances are quite different . for any observer in the plane , the sun is above the same high over the horizon than it is for the observer on the surface . if he would see the shadow of his own plane , this would be underneath of him and the plane projecting towards the surface of the earth .

timeline after the events of the legend of zelda : majora ' s mask , following the timeline created after the events of the legend of zelda : ocarina of time , and is parallel to the events of the legend of zelda : the wind waker .

on the november 12 , 2015 edition of nintendo direct , nintendo officially announced the legend of zelda : twilight princess hd , a re - release of twilight princess for the wii u , developed by tantalus media . it was eventually released worldwide in the first quarter of 2016 . while primarily based on the gamecube version , it does feature a mirrored world similar to that of the wii version , as part of the game ' s optional hero mode . nearly all textures and related assets were remade from scratch to suit the higher definition ; although the polygon count of most 3d models were left unaltered , a few saw differences ranging from subtle to noticeable . the original game ' s distinctive use of depth - of - field blur and similar graphical artifacts were excised outright .
simply put , a hugely enjoyable mockumentary that will get a smile out of the most coldest of hearts .
it would be even more interesting to be at the top of a mountain with the clouds very close . so , thin wisp of clouds racking only a few meters over your head . sometimes these wisps cause also beautiful coronas . if a building or a mast obliterate the sun , its superstructures can cast long shadows into the clouds .

at the 2005 game developers conference , a second trailer was shown of the game showing link exploring several areas and dungeons , while confronting a vast area of different enemies and bosses . at the end of the trailer , a clip was shown of a wolf howling at the moon . while link becoming a wolf was not known to the public to be part of the game at the time , many correctly speculated from the trailer that the wolf was link , and rumors of this began circulating around the gaming community . at the 2005 electronic entertainment expo , the game was again shown with a new trailer and playable demo . it revealed and confirmed a lot of information about the game for the first time , such as the twilight realm , link becoming a wolf , and the village at the beginning of the game . nintendo released a small number of nintendo ds game cards containing a preview trailer for twilight princess .
when my friend first recommended this author to me , i wasn ' t expecting much . if laurell k . hamilton was so good , why hadn ' t i heard of her before ? one of the main reasons she remained under my book radar was because i usually stick to historical romances and even then specific authors of the genre . the first couple of pages in a kiss of shadows left me blown away . hamilton creates a world that blends multiple genres : fantasy , science fiction , suspense / thriller , and even romance . i knew it would

brianna can see her future , but it’s the past that haunts her . plans laid in place centuries ago are threatening not only her and her sister , but all of the seven lines . as the shadows plot their way to old rule , the visions shift again . her power has led to some hard choices—and the occasional stab wound—but this set of futures holds nothing but darkness .
i would rank hamilton as one of my favorite writers , but for her fatal flaw . she creates wonderful characters and settings , but inevitably she has to bog them down with in your face sexual situations . kiss of shadows is no different . in this book hamilton does a wonderful job of creating a strong female protagonist , merry gentry , and describes an intricate fairy world that she belongs to , full of strange creatures and filled with political intrigue . but in order to enjoy hamilton ' s skill at descr
a number of elements were introduced or changed in this re - release , most of them related to shortening various parts of the game , be they mandatory or optional , largely viewed as tawdry or overlong by most . the most noticeable of these were the removal of several of the tears of light that link must gather at various points . another notable addition is the ghost lantern , which allows players to more easily complete the lengthy side quest involving the gathering of poe souls . to further aid in this matter , a tally of poes to be found in a given region of hyrule were added to the game ' s map screen .
the intense colour of a pileus cloud indicates that the water droplets in the cloud are very small and of a uniform size .
link enters the twilight where strange monsters appear and the humans of the light world appear as spirits , glowing orbs , unable to see link , who is now in the form of a sacred wolf . after restoring faron , the light spirit of the faron province , link receives the very garments once worn by the hero of time himself . he then enters and defeats the enemies inside the forest temple , recovering the first fused shadow . he travels out of the faron province into the eldin province and enters the twilight . he then finds the kidnapped children of ordon village in kakariko village . however , due to the fact that he is in the twilight realm , they cannot see him . after restoring the light spirit eldin , link reunites with the lost children . however , he discovers that ilia is not among the children in the village . from out of nowhere , link ' s horse epona dashes into the village , with two bulblins riding her back . scared and wild , epona throws off the bulblins but does not stop running .

tell me . . . do you ever feel a strange sadness as dusk falls ? they say it ' s the only time when our world intersects with theirs . . . the only time we can feel the lingering regrets of spirits who have left our world . that is why loneliness always pervades the hour of twilight . . . .
the ground bound observer is a victim of the everyday perception . for him , the atmosphere is a three - dimensional volume , and the sun is located in it . but all the rays of the sun enter and cross the atmosphere parallel . this is shown in the lower sketch . from this it is evident , that the shadows can only be lower than the plane . even at sunset / sunrise the shadows would not be cast above the plane . the single possibility , which i have had the opportunity to see once , is that the plane heads directly towards the sun eclipsing its own contrail . another very interesting possibility is the eclipsing of the contrail from one side of the plane by the other , so that the one towards the sun is whitish - bright and the other grayish - dark – indeed a very spectacular view !
with zant ' s death , his curse on midna , through ganondorf ' s power , is broken , and she regains her true form . after their reunion , link , zelda , and midna travel to the arbiter ' s grounds in order for midna to return to the twilight realm by way of the mirror of twilight . she promises that they will meet again . however , with a tear , she shatters the mirror of twilight in order to prevent similar tragic events from happening again . by doing so , she effectively seals off the only known road between the two worlds . its purpose in the war against zant fulfilled , link returns the master sword to the pedestal of time , and returns to ordon village , but later he rides away with epona from there . at the very end , the throne room of the hyrule castle is seen , revealing that the castle was rebuilt . this may indicate link is going there , but this is unconfirmed .
the re - release also offers newly added amiibo support . figures of zelda characters from the super smash bros . line - up of figures allows link to restore his health or arrow supply , depending on the figure used . the ganondorf figure increases any damage taken by two . this can be used in conjunction with hero mode ' s already - existing damage increase for an even bigger challenge . special bundles of twilight princess hd come with a unique figure of wolf link carrying midna . this figure can be
linked
to a save file in order to quickstart the game by scanning it on the game ' s title screen . it also allows players to enter the all - new mini - dungeon known as the cave of shadows , which is otherwise inaccessible . the bundle that includes this amiibo also includes a special soundtrack cd .

even after link and midna retrieve the other two mirror shards from the snowpeak ruins , and the temple of time , ilia still has not regained her memory . link , with the help of darbus , discovers an abandoned village , which had been hidden for quite some time . link has to fight some bulblins and once all of them are defeated , link discovers a woman still in the village . she is an elderly lady , named impaz , and the last remaining sheikah in hyrule . with impaz ' s help , ilia ' s memory is restored , as she had spent some time with her . impaz helps link get to the city in the sky , where the final mirror shard is . after recovering it from the city in the sky , link and midna travel back to the arbiter ' s grounds and reassemble the mirror . they travel to the twilight realm and infuse the master sword with sols , the twilight realm ' s equivalent of the sun . armed with this new power , they invade zant ' s palace of twilight . here , it is revealed that midna is the twilight princess ; the destined ruler of the twili . she admits to originally attempting to use link as a means of getting her kingdom back , but grew to care for him . this only strengthens their resolve , and they confront the wicked usurper king , zant . zant reveals that he had tried to become the true twilight king , but was passed over , with midna being chosen as ruler instead . this decision made zant go into a crazed rage , and it was then that he met ganondorf - - he told zant that he was a god and could give zant all the power he could ever want . however , this was a ploy of ganondorf to help him regain his power and escape the twilight realm . with his newly found strength , zant transformed midna into an imp form and overthrew the banner of king of twilight . after this revelation , a fierce battle between link and zant ensues . after a long and hard battle , zant is defeated . however , he reveals to the pair that as long as his apparent god , ganondorf , exists , zant can be resurrected . midna then uses her own power to kill him .

they journey back to faron woods and after withstanding the trials of the woods , finally discover the sacred grove . link touches the sword and is restored to his hylian form when the small stone zant used to place the curse flies out of his body . midna decides to keep the stone , as it can be used to turn link into a wolf whenever they want . she then explains that the only way to defeat zant , is with the master sword and the fabled mirror of twilight . they travel to the distant gerudo desert and ascend the arbiter ' s grounds . at the top of the desert structure , they discover the mirror of twilight ; however , it has been broken into four pieces by zant . the ancient sages , guardians of the mirror , appear and show link what had happened in the past . after committing a horrible crime , ganondorf , the evil king of the gerudos , had been captured and brought to the arbiter ' s grounds to be tried . he was put on trial and found guilty , and was to be executed . however , due to the powers he arbitrarily received from a supposed divine being , he survived the executioner ' s blade , rose to his feet , and killed the water sage . the remaining sages then sealed ganondorf inside the twilight realm . the sages then tell link that zant had failed to destroy the mirror , which could only be destroyed by the true ruler of the twilight . distressed , zant sent the three missing mirror shards to different corners of hyrule , to be protected by his evil followers .
it is not unusual that one can see some shadow rays in the sky due to clouds in front of the sun . one can also observe coronas in consequence of diffraction of the sunlight or moonlight by small waterdrops of thin clouds . but it’s a rareness to notice both phenomena at the same time .
the enemy ' s artificial intelligence in twilight princess is more advanced than in the wind waker . enemies react to defeated companions and to arrows or slingshot pellets that pass by . the ai can also detect link from further distance than in ocarina of time , majora ' s mask , and the wind waker .
twilight : well . . . alright . i guess there are some things in equestria i don ' t know about either . so , if you don ' t know much about him , then why are you agreeing to this ?
taking place in hyrule , several familiar areas first appearing in other games such as death mountain , lake hylia , hyrule castle , and other such locations can be visited . the geography of these places , however , has been changed to add a sense of newness to them . new areas added to the game include ordon village , a rural town outside of hyrule where link starts the game , and snowpeak , an icy mountain on the edge of the kingdom . one of the most notable areas to make a first appearance is the twilight , which has begun to cover hyrule . in this surreal world of orange and yellow , link is transformed into a wolf , while other people become monsters and spirits .
celestia : yes , but summoning him will require both of our magic combined .

through its succession of seemingly disparate , acutely observed worlds , burnt shadows reveals the impact of shared histories , hinting at larger tragedies through individual loss . the two families , while watching each other ' s back , can also prove instrumental in each other ' s destruction . there are minor flaws in plotting , and occasional excesses - gorilla suits as modes of escape , or soft toys sentimentalised as road kill to make a point . but the subtlety lies in repeated patterns of allegiance and estrangement , betrayal and atonement , in the echoes between kamikaze pilots and suicide bombers , or between ilse ' s alacrity in branding sajjad as a rapist in the novel ' s forsterian vignette and kim ' s suspicion of muslims after 9 / 11 .

this storefront consists of a straight inward and a prismatic outward glazing . as the individual panes of the outer storefront are inclined to each other , they reflect landscape and sky alternately . so , depending from the incidence of light and the observer´s position , the appearance of the tower changes permanently . the inner glazing is normally not important here .

the situation shown in the picture is often misinterpreted ( photo taken by anja hoff on 22 - 08 - 2012 ) . most people think that the shadow of the plane and the contrail cast on the thin cirrostratus cloud sheet must lay higher than the plane itself . this seems obvious , since the shadows are higher than the objects producing them . the low standing sun leads one to this conclusion – it is shown in the upper sketch :

producer wyck godfrey - - who has overseen production of all the films in the franchise , starting with 2008 ' s initial installment - - said part of the reason is that the film wrapped earlier this year . as a result , in addition to there being no sense of finality yet , there ' s also no great sense of separation among the cast .

there were several discussions on the visual appearance of the new high - rise building . some considered it as a boring square log , while others admired the special feature of its storefront .
in both cases the sun was lower than the top of the tower so that the shadow of the tower was projected on the cloud layer above . this is a very uncommon phenomenon .

the team worked on a wii control scheme , adapting camera control and the fighting mechanics to the new interface . a prototype was created that used a swinging gesture to control the sword from a first - person viewpoint , but was unable to show the variety of link ' s movements . when the third - person view was restored , aonuma thought it felt strange to swing the wii remote with the right hand to control the sword in link ' s left hand , so the sword control was relegated to a button . details about wii controls began to surface in december 2005 , when british publication ngc magazine claimed that , when a gamecube copy of twilight princess , when played on the revolution , would give the player the option of using the revolution controller . miyamoto confirmed the revolution controller - functionality in an interview with nintendo of europe and time reported this soon after . at the 2006 electronic entertainment expo , nintendo announced that both versions would be available at the wii launch and had a playable version of twilight princess for the wii . later , the gamecube release was pushed back to a month after the launch of the wii .

twilight princess starts out in ordon village , a small town located on the outskirts of hyrule proper . here , a young boy named link lives a simple life , working as a ranch hand . one day , he is asked by rusl to deliver the ordon sword and ordon shield as gifts for the royal family of hyrule for the hyrule festival . however , on the very day he is supposed to make the delivery , hostiles appear in the spirit ' s spring , where ilia , epona , and colin are . these monsters kidnap the children of the village ; ilia , colin , malo , talo , and beth . these monsters also take the horse epona . link is knocked out , and soon almost the entirety of hyrule is covered in twilight . when he regains consciousness and runs to the bridge , he finds a large , dark wall . a shadow beast ' s arm bursts through and pulls him through the wall . however , the power of the triforce symbol on link ' s hand makes the creature drop link . link turns into a wolf , passes out , and is taken to the dungeons of hyrule castle by another monster .

for the e3 trailer , michiru ōshima created orchestral arrangements of three pieces written by different composers , although only the piece by mahito yokota was used . working on the trailer prompted kondo to consider using orchestral music for the game as well—he envisioned a full orchestra for action sequences and a string quartet for
lyrical moments
. kondo always waits until he can observe the gameplay of a title before composing the score , to ensure that they mesh well . when the trailer was created , gameplay development had not progressed enough for kondo to decide if an orchestra would be feasible . the final product uses sequenced music instead ; kondo cited the lack of interactivity that comes with orchestral music as one of the main reasons for the decision . minegishi followed kondo ' s example of matching the score to the gameplay and created music to elicit the feeling of melancholy he observed . as link begins to save hyrule from the effects of the twilight realm , the music takes on a more relaxed mood .
some reviews have mentioned drawbacks about the game , however . the most commonly mentioned is that the game , having been designed for the gamecube , is not up to scratch with the cutting - edge graphics of its competitors , and that much of the game feels familiar to devoted zelda fans , as though it is a compilation of zelda ' s
greatest hits
. some aspects of the game ' s design have been more firmly criticized by a number of reviewers , such as the director of ōkami speaking of his disappointment in the feel of the game ' s visuals . regarding the wii version , gamespot ' s jeff gerstmann said the wii controls felt
tacked - on
, although 1up said the remote - swinging sword attacks were
the most impressive in the entire series

i would rank hamilton as one of my favorite writers , but for her fatal flaw . she creates wonderful characters and settings , but inevitably she has to bog them down with in your face sexual situations . kiss of shadows is no different . in this book hamilton does a wonderful job of creating a strong female protagonist , merry gentry , and describes an intricate fairy world that she belongs to , full of strange creatures and filled with political intrigue . but in order to enjoy hamilton ' s skill at describing such people and places , you have to wade through pages of nothing but sex , as her main characters pretty much sleep with anything and everyone around them . i ' m far from a prude , but other writers describe sexual beings much better in my opinion , such as jacqueline carey . if you can stand the sex , the book is worth reading . but if it makes you uncomfortable , give hamilton a pass .
the light spirit lanayru tells link about the interlopers , ancestors of the twili . they had , with their powerful magic , tried to conquer the sacred realm and establish dominance over it . a war broke out , and , fearing their destructive power , the goddesses commanded three of the light spirits to seal away the interlopers . they also created the mirror of twilight , an instrument with which to banish the wicked to the twilight realm , this mirror could be used as an entrance to the twilight realm as well . the two travel back to hyrule castle town , but find that ilia has lost her memory . telma tells the pair that in order for the zora prince to be healed , he must be taken to renado , the shaman of kakariko village . they decide to transport him on a carriage through the dangerous route of lake hylia through southern hyrule field to kakariko village . link , on his faithful mare , defends them and makes sure they make it safely back to kakariko village . after the prince is brought safely to the closed - down hotel , rutela appears before link once more and thanks him for his heroic deed . she shows link a secret tomb in kakariko graveyard where the zora armor , which allows link to breathe underwater , is stored . she gives him this and , knowing her son is safe , passes on . link travels to the lakebed temple and retrieves the final fused shadow and is ready to battle zant .

o & apos ; neill & apos ; s focus for the play was the eventful summer of 1912 when , about to turn twenty - four , he was pulled up short by a frightening ( if short - lived ) attack of tuberculosis . it also marked a crucial stage in his mother & apos ; s chronic morphine addiction and a time when his father was forced to confront the fading career that had soared during the late 19th century .

the circus won charles chaplin his first academy award – it was still not yet called the ‘oscar’ – he was given it at the first presentations ceremony , in 1929 . but as late as 1964 , it seemed , this was a film he preferred to forget . the reason was not the film itself , but the deeply fraught circumstances surrounding its making .

although gene kelly established his reputation as an actor and a dancer , his contribution to the hollywood , california , musical also includes choreography ( creating dances ) and movie direction .
about the music for this marvelously crafted , heartfelt , and disturbing film , i turned first to some of schumann’s piano miniatures from his album for the young : notably , an exquisitely simple piece appropriately titled “the poor orphan child . ” in addition , i felt a need for a “maternal” soprano voice , singing songs periodically to comment on the film’s meanings . the singer is margaret o’keefe ( a colleague at mit ) , and the selections consist entirely of songs available to singers at the time the film was made . one of these , “beautiful isle of somewhere” ( pounds , fearis , 1897 ) , was reissued in 1901 , after being sung at the funeral of president mckinley . it is heard at the beginning and again near the end of the film , thus constituting a kind of theme song . indeed , it seems very like the sort of lullaby the boy of the story might imagine being sung to him by his absent mother .
kelly ' s other major influence was his mother , who loved the theater . she was the one who sent him to dancing lessons . at first kelly did not want to continue with his dance lessons because the other students made fun of him . but then he discovered that the girls liked a boy who could dance , so he decided to stick with the lessons .
i have seen nearly all of the surviving max linder comedies and have enjoyed them . he was amazingly inventive and when i found one i had not seen (
max and his mother - in - law
) i grabbed a copy . sadly , i was disappointed and it wasn ' t nearly up to the quality of his other films . the film begins with max getting married . in an odd twist , he takes his mother - in - law with them on their honeymoon - - something that stretches credibility to the breaking point when it comes to plot ! on the honeymoon in the snow - capped mountains , his chunky in - law falls down a lot in the snow and there are a few other pratfalls - - but no humor . in fact , i ' ve seen dramas that were funnier than this one . my advice is try another one of his films first - - such as
max takes tonics
. he was a brilliant pioneer .

o & apos ; neill was wrenchingly aware that in reimagining his family & apos ; s devastating interaction—husband embattled with wife , mother and father both in bitter conflict with their two sons , brother challenging brother—he had the makings of his greatest work , the play that was to take its place as the monumental american tragedy of the century , long day & apos ; s journey into night .

production of the film began in 1995 when james cameron shot footage of the real wreck of the titanic . he was able to persuade 20th century fox to invest in the film by convincing them that the publicity surrounding a real - life dive to the wreck would be really beneficial to the production .
was the last first - run film to have a 70mm release until the master ( 2012 ) . james cameron paid for the 70mm prints himself .

in the 1958 titanic film
a night to remember
, most of the scenes of the titanic sinking are seen from the ship ' s port ( left ) side . in cameron ' s film , most of the sinking scenes are seen from the ship ' s starboard ( right ) side .
caleb deschanel was the first cinematographer . he clashed with james cameron over the lighting of the film and was eventually fired to be replaced by russell carpenter .
and he was always worried about the single biggest line item in his budget : labor costs . collins meant to keep the wage - inflating union out of his mines , whatever it took .
narrator : mother jones was constantly on the lookout for promising young lieutenants during her earliest trips to southern west virginia . one man who caught her eye was a 20 - year - old miner named frank keeney .
the opening was originally going to be an irishman painting the word ' titanic ' . during that same scene , it is not , as believed by some , a real film from her departure in 1912 . james cameron wanted to use actual footage , but at the time there was none . so he attempted to create what he thought took place . however after the movie was released , some actual footage was discovered .
even before he began city lights , the sound film was firmly established . this new revolution was a bigger challenge to chaplin than to other silent stars . his tramp character was universal . his mime was understood in every part of the world . but if the tramp now began to speak in english , that world - wide audience would instantly shrink .
it has been said that zukor predicted he would “outlive all his enemies , ” though with his partnerships and friendships with almost everyone in the industry , competitors might be a more fitting word than enemies . but adolph’s prediction turned out to be right . he outlived virtually everyone of his generation .
one young coal miner was already preparing for the battles to come . frank keeney had gone back to his job in the mines , but he was also reading shakespeare , and poetry , and mother jones ' s favorite novel - - les miserables - - about a working - class revolt in 19th century france .
to me , adolph zukor was the greatest showman of his generation . his appreciations of programming , promotion , and advertising remained unfailing almost up to his death … his mind remained crystal clear . he wanted to know everything about each picture . not only paramount’s films but those of the other studios as well . he made the most astute observations as to why a picture didn’t do well . his counsel benefited the company almost to the day he died , at age 103 , in 1976 .
concerned for pollock & apos ; s well - being , krasner called on pollock & apos ; s mother to help . her presence helped to stabilize pollock , and he began to paint again . he completed his masterpiece , the deep , during this period . but as the demand from collectors for pollock & apos ; s art grew , so too did the pressure he felt , and with it his alcoholism .
experimental film , white specks and shapes gyrating over a black background , a light - striped torso , a gyrating eggcrate . one of the first dadaist films .

he apparently passed his genes or his will to live to his son , eugene , who lived to 97 . eugene’s wife had died a year earlier , after 73 years of marriage . both men were the ultimate family men , in an industry not known for marital fidelity . more from eugene :
at $ 200 million , the movie cost more than the titanic itself . the cost to construct the ship in 1910 - 1912 was £1 . 5 million , equivalent to $ 7 . 5 million at the time and about $ 120 to $ 150 million in 1997 dollars .
karl malden , ( mladen sekulovich ) , american actor ( born march 22 , 1912 , chicago , ill . —died july 1 , 2009 , los angeles , calif . ) , won critical acclaim for his strong character roles , ranging from psychologically intense villains to the earnest everyman , most notably alongside marlon brando in a streetcar named desire ( 1951 ) and on the waterfront …

in early 20th century britain , the cause of female suffrage was usually ignored by the press and dismissed by politicians . to gain support for their right to vote , suffragettes turned away from peaceful protest and embraced militant tactics that grew to include window breaking and arson . their fight for equality , which escalated in violence in 1912 and 1913 , is depicted in the new film suffragette . the movie also shows historical figures and fictional characters interacting as they struggle to get women the vote . here are six real - life suffragettes ( plus one man ) who either appear in suffragette or whose stories are reflected in the film .
one of his biggest challenges was finding actors who could make the transition from stage to film . few knew how to perform for a camera . one young stage star , mary pickford , had done some film work , and zukor offered her $ 500 a week compared to the $ 175 she was making on broadway . by 1916 , she was being paid $ 10 , 000 a week , the equivalent of $ 220 , 000 today .
later in life , cal married someone else and inherited his family ' s millions . however , in the stock market crash of 1929 , cal fell into financial ruin and committed suicide by shooting himself in the mouth . his children later fought over the scraps of his estate like hyenas as rose claimed she read .
true or not , it is a typically o & apos ; neillian irony that he might well have remained all but forgotten in his own country if his instructions to withhold the play had been honored . for it was the play & apos ; s premature release that revived , with full glory , o & apos ; neill & apos ; s stature . and all because his willful widow chose to contravene his wishes .

not surprisingly , then , in choosing his next subject he deliberately sought escape from disagreeable contemporary reality . he found it in bitter - sweet nostalgia for the world of his youth – the world of the london music halls at the opening of the 20th century , where he had first discovered his genius as an entertainer .
paul rudd auditioned for the lead male role because his own father had been an avid titanic historian . despite his being able to reel off factual technical stats about the great ship , the casting team remained unimpressed .
in the film chaplin plays a dual role –a jewish barber who lost his memory in a plane accident in the first war , and spent years in hospital before being discharged into an antisemite country that he does not understand , and hynkel , the dictator leader of tomania , whose armies are the forces of the double cross , and who will do anything along those lines to increase his possibilities for becoming emperor of the world . chaplin’s aim is obvious , and the film ends with a now famous and humanitarian speech made by the barber , speaking chaplin’s own words .
a week later , more than three thousand marchers pushed through armed militiamen and followed mother jones and frank keeney to a rally on the steps of the capitol . they were there to persuade governor william glasscock to abolish the mine guard system .
during the corset scene , it is originally rose who is supposed to be tightening her mother ' s corset . however , james cameron and the actresses felt that the scene had much more of an effect of rose being in the corset .

during the 1920s dora film distributed their filmed sceneggiate to overseas markets with italian immigrant populations , in the united states , for example , to baltimore and new york , as well as to south american cities . often the film prints were accompanied by singers who performed the soundtrack ( bruno 1997 , 51 ) . of the few surviving prints of notari’s entire film career , all are sceneggiate or fragments of the form , although fantasia ‘e surdate ( 1925 ) is incomplete and was reedited by notari after it did not pass fascist censorship .
mother jones issued an ominous warning :
unless the governor rids paint creek and cabin creek of these god - damned baldwin - felts mine guard thugs , there is going to be one hell of a lot of bloodletting in these hills .

when his contract with mutual expired in 1917 , chaplin decided to become an independent producer in a desire for more freedom and greater leisure in making his movies . to that end , he busied himself with the construction of his own studios . this plant was situated in the heart of the residential section of hollywood at la brea avenue .
by now , carlotta was herself ailing . she could no longer summon the boundless resilience with which she had dedicated her life to o & apos ; neill & apos ; s nurture and comfort ; her nerves tattered , she had lost the vitality to focus on his needs or sympathize with his temperament . their self - imposed exile , unsurprisingly , was anything but tranquil . dejected over his progressive frailty and unable to release the torrents of his imagination through writing , o & apos ; neill seemed bent on wrenching what drama he could from his domestic life .
