the absence of a challenge in the film is sorely missed everywhere , but especially in kurzweil ' s poignant , bizarre belief that technology will someday help him resurrect his father . with degraded dna scavenged from his father ' s grave , memories plucked from the brains of those who knew him , and information in the man ' s papers and music ( which kurzweil has scrupulously warehoused ) , post - singularity technology will supposedly be able to whip up a replica of the man .

in the film , an old man heads over a mountain to alert the military to luttrell’s location . in the book , the village elder walks to asadabad to alert the military to luttrell’s presence , but that’s not how the military actually found him . instead , luttrell uses a radio air - dropped by the military :
for if the domineering head of the household already believed in telekinesis and the powers of darkness before they moved into a house that had just been the scene of a mass murder , it’s not stretching credulity to assume he and his family might be susceptible to supernatural explanations for mundane occurrences .
somehow marlon was able to draw on all these inner conflicts to create the unique role of a grieving widower . although the groundbreaking sexuality of the film was what most people talked about , brando & apos ; s improvised monologue addressed to his wife & apos ; s coffin in the film was a painfully autobiographical portrayal of his complex mix of anger and sense of lost love as he dredged up his feelings at the premature death of his mother .
liam neeson stars as felt , with diane lane co - starring as his wife and maika monroe playing his daughter ; kate walsh , michael c . hall , and ike barinholtz also appear . sony pictures classics will release “the man who brought down the white house” on september 29 , presumably after it premieres at one of the fall festivals .
that reshot climax , by the way , is the main thing singled out in many reviews for being out of sync with the rest of the film and the character development that came before . so… that leads to another question :
daniel lutz , a ten - year - old boy at the time but now a spooky - looking , middle - aged man with deep - set , piercing blue eyes and an unsettling smile , insists he was menaced by spirits in the house and that his family’s stay there has ruined his life .
the woman with the violin sings a song about spider - man . that song was actually the theme song of the original early cartoon series . the tone and tempo were changed in the movie . it was also used in the first movie with the guy singing inside the subway station .
it was january 14 , 1976 . they had lasted just 28 days inside 112 ocean avenue , a rambling house in the long island town of amityville , 30 miles from new york city .
through it all , neeson cuts a riveting figure of stoic torment and silvery will . he plays felt , “the g - man’s g - man , ” as an intensely conservative firebrand who has seen it all , and will accept a mountain of government sins as necessary realpolitik , but who regards the tyranny of the nixon white house as something new : a threat to the republic , because it upends the national balance of power . you could say that the movie is a good pedestal for neeson ( it is ) , but you could also say that he towers over the rest of it ( he does ) . the last part of “mark felt” feels as if it lost crucial scenes , with everything from nixon’s resignation to the resolution of felt’s daughter crisis crashing in out of nowhere .
and he blames the evil presence on his stepfather george , a man whose occult dabblings , says daniel , opened the gateway to dark forces he couldn’t control .

eagle - eyed viewers will catch the word “flammable” scrawled across the back of the truck , yet when it careens off the cliff at the end of the movie it doesn’t go boom . the studio wanted a big explosion , but the director wanted a slower demise for his film’s villain .

when it was finally told , in the pages of vanity fair , in 2005 , the story of mark felt , the deputy associate director of the fbi , and how he became the legendary watergate mole deep throat was surely one of the most dramatic reveals in american history . yet since the truth has already been revealed , how much drama is there left to the story ? “ mark felt : the man who brought down the white house , ” written and directed by peter landesman ( “parkland” ) , demonstrates that there’s a lot of drama left to it — enough , in fact , that when the movie is over , it leaves you suspecting that it only wedged a portion of that drama onto the screen . what might , theoretically , have been “all the president’s men” told from a reverse angle feels more like a prosaically engrossing tv - movie that whets your appetite for a more definitive treatment of the subject .
the film was accused of having an overly - protracted and lengthy story until the final 10 - 15 minutes . recurring symbols included mirrors ( and mirror images of originals ) and a mystery doppelganger woman .

cleverly edited and entertaining , transcendent man is unfortunately also too starstruck and reverent toward kurzweil for its own good . it wants in part to be a movie about ideas , but frustratingly , it refuses to truly challenge any of those it raises—whether supportive or critical of him . given that the film ' s theme is the salvation or destruction of the human race , its lack of commitment to a perspective other than innocent wonder is unsatisfying .

much has been made of the accuracy of lone survivor , which has been widely praised for its realism and even named “ one of the most realistic war movies of all time . ” to provide much of its authenticity , writer - director peter berg worked closely with marcus luttrell , the navy seal played by mark wahlberg in the film , and the author of the memoir of the same name . however , while the movie recreates many of the realities of war in painstaking detail , it also diverges significantly from the real - life operation red wings . in an article on urltoken , michael and eric cummings detail many of the creative liberties the movie takes with its portrayal of the mission . for example , luttrell didn’t flatline , shah probably wasn’t a member of al qaeda , and the final battle depicted in the film never happened . the article has been adapted and reprinted with their permission below .

no . the amityville horror babysitter , lisa ( rachel nichols ) , is not based on a real - life individual , nor does she appear in the book . the idea for the babysitter character came from the mind of screenwriter sandor stern , who wrote the screenplay for the original 1979 amityville horror . scott kosar , the screenwriter for the 2005 remake , reinterpreted the character and gave her much more sex appeal .
kurzweil and transcendent man want to evangelize that technology will help human beings rise above the limitations of their biology and become something literally more divine . yet kurzweil comes across as naively uninterested in the philosophical and practical implications of that possibility—not unaware of them , but blithely optimistic that the problems will work out . and paradoxically , in a film about an expansion of what it could mean to be human the protagonist sometimes seems so emotionally off - kilter that his own humanity feels unrealized .

the napoleonic code ( french : code napoléon ; officially code civil des français , referred to as ( le ) code civil ) is the french civil code established under napoléon i in 1804 .

it was drafted by a commission of four eminent jurists and entered into force on 21 march 1804 .

the code , with its stress on clearly written and accessible law , was a major step in replacing the previous patchwork of feudal laws .

historian robert holtman regards it as one of the few documents that have influenced the whole world .

the napoleonic code was not the first legal code to be established in a european country with a civil legal system ; it was preceded by the codex maximilianeus bavaricus civilis ( bavaria , 1756 ) , the allgemeines landrecht ( prussia , 1794 ) , and the west galician code ( galicia , then part of austria , 1797 ) .

it was , however , the first modern legal code to be adopted with a pan-european scope , and it strongly influenced the law of many of the countries formed during and after the napoleonic wars .

the napoleonic code influenced developing countries outside europe , especially in the middle east , attempting to modernize their countries through legal reforms .

it explains the logic behind the napoleonic code ( code civil ) and highlights the elements that differ the code from its predecessors . it demonstrates how the napoleonic code should be interpreted through specific examples . to illustrate , in chapter 4 part 2 section 6 , the book talks about the things that needs to be done if a person dies in the sea . death was a topic that was covered in the napoleonic code . this book shows the correct interpretation of the code by answering questions like : how to make sure that the person has died ? how the death of this person should be archived ? thus , it clarifies the ideas of the napoleonic code .
i used this to write a report on the napoleonic code . it really helped me understand how it started . kudos !

the first modern organized body of law governing france , also known as the code napoleon or code civil , enacted by napoléon i in 1804 .
just a few years later , in 1804 , napoleon bonaparte brought about a new reform of french inheritance law through the adoption of his famous code civil ( civil code , also referred to as the code napoleon ) .
by the second half of 1801 , the commission was ready to draft the new code . four writers worked on the project , led by lawyer jean - etienne - marie portalis , who composed several key portions of the code , including the sections on marriage and property . by the end of the year , the code was finished , but its publication was delayed until march 21 , 1804 . on that day , france officially received its new civil code , which later became known as the code napoleon or napoleonic code .

the napoleon code - civil code was introduced by napoleon at the beginning of the 19th century and changed the political lives of all the states of continental europe .
today , only about half of the code remains active in france . the rest has been abandoned or modified over the years . only traces of the code remain in other countries , for their legal systems changed over time . nevertheless , the civil or napoleonic code of 1804 greatly influenced legal thought and practice around the world .
the influence of the napoleonic code has diminished at the turn of the century by the introduction of the german civil code and the swiss civil code . however , more than two centuries after its promulgation , the napoleonic code is still living law in a great number of countries across the world . considered to be the first successful universal codification since justinian , it has influenced the civil law systems of modern continental european countries . even today the french civil code of 1804 has not been significantly changed and in many ways it is the most enduring legacy of the french revolution .

after the code was introduced in france and nearby areas , it spread across europe and into latin america . sometimes a straight translation was used , but other times large changes were made to fit local situations . later codes also looked to napoleon’s own , such as the italian civil code of 1865 , although this was replaced in 1942 . in addition , laws in louisiana’s civil code of 1825 ( largely still in place ) , derive closely from the napoleonic code .
the napoleonic code was written as several ‘books , ’ and although it was written by teams of lawyers , napoleon was present at nearly half of the senate discussions . the first book dealt with laws and people , including civil rights , marriage , relationships including those of parent and child etc . the second book concerned laws and things , including property and ownership . the third books tackled how you went about getting and modifying your rights , such as inheritance and through marriage . more codes followed for other aspects of the legal system : 1806’s code of civil procedure ; 1807’s commercial code ; 1808’s criminal code and code of criminal procedure ; 1810’s penal code .
the purpose of this paper is to analyze how the napoleonic code ( french civil code ) was made . the paper states that there are two different ways of creating laws . one of them is customary codification , meaning the crystallization of already established social principles . the other is contractual codification which is the creation of new laws through rational thinking . it compares the codification methods and delves into the napoleonic code through a lens that focuses on these two different mechanisms of forging laws .
after four years of debate and planning , french emperor napoleon bonaparte enacts a new legal framework for france , known as the “napoleonic code . ” the civil code gave post - revolutionary france its first coherent set of laws concerning property , colonial affairs , the family , and individual rights .
indeed , a substantial portion of the napoleonic code applied to inheritance : articles 718–892 dealt with successions , and articles 967–1100 ( as well as much of articles 893–930 ) dealt more specifically with wills .
in 1800 , napoléon i appointed a commission of four persons to undertake the task of compiling the napoleonic code . their efforts , along with those of j . j . cambacérès , were instrumental in the preparation of the final draft . the napoleonic code assimilated the private law of france , which was the law governing transactions and relationships between individuals . the code , which is regarded by some commentators as the first modern counterpart to roman law , is currently in effect in france in an amended form .

the napoleonic code is the civil legal framework of france , established in 1804 by napoleon bonaparte . it sets out the rules in relation to divorce , inheritance , and property ownership , among other things .
the spanish legal tradition had a great influence on the civil code of argentina , basically a work of the argentine jurist dalmacio v \ u00e9lez s \ u00e1rsfield , who dedicated five years of his life on this task . the civil code came into effect on 1 january 1871 . beyond the influence of the spanish legal tradition , the argentinian civil code was also inspired by the draft of the brazilian civil code , the draft of the spanish civil code of 1851 , the napoleonic code and the chilean civil code . the sources of this civil code also include various theoretical legal works , mainly of the great french jurists of the 19th century . it was the first civil law that consciously adopted as its cornerstone the distinction between i . rights from obligations and ii . real property rights , thus distancing itself from the french model . the argentinian civil code was also in effect in paraguay , as per a paraguayan law of 1880 , until the new civil code went in force in 1987 . during the second half of the 20th century , the german legal theory became increasingly influential in argentina .
at the end of the decade a decision was taken to prepare an entirely new civil code of québec , and to bring it into force all at once . this new code was enacted in december 1991 and proclaimed in force on 1 january 1994 . it purported to replace the civil code of lower canada and the initial civil code of québec . because a number of matters regulated in the former code passed , after 1867 , into federal jurisdiction , the precise scope of the replacement remains uncertain .
the principles incorporated in the napoleonic code were written in 3 main books containing more than 25 titles and over 100 chapters . under the code all male citizens are equal ; all class privileges are extinguished . freedom of person , freedom of contract and inviolability of private property are fundamental principles . [ 5 ]
during the 19th century the code was voluntary adopted in a number of european and latin american countries , either in the form of simple translation or with considerable modifications . it was adopted in many countries occupied by the french during the napoleonic wars , and thus formed the basis of the private law systems of italy , the netherlands , belgium , spain , portugal ( and their former colonies ) , and poland . the italian civil code of 1865 , enacted after the unification of italy , had a close but indirect relation to the napoleonic code . germany incorporated the code with only a few revisions . in the early 19th century the code was introduced to haiti and the dominican republic , and it is still in force there . bolivia and chile followed closely the arrangement of the code and borrowed much of its substance . the chilean code was in turn copied by ecuador and columbia , followed by uruguay and argentina .

the napoleonic code is the name for a new code of law introduced in france under napoleon i in 1804 , the purpose of which was to replace the patchwork of feudal laws which had previously existed and unify the french legal system under a more democratic form of rule . most notably , the code prohibited birthright privileges , specified that government jobs should go to the most qualified candidates , and established freedom of religion .
napoleon bonaparte was proud of the civil code and considered it one of his most outstanding achievements . in 1804 , the code was firmly in place in france and all of france ' s colonies . it remained in force even after napoleon ' s defeat . the code also migrated to other european countries . belgium , italy , poland , the netherlands , and sections of germany all adopted versions of the french code .

in 1955 , the quebec legislature established the civil code revision office to update the code . after completing , piecemeal , some of the more urgent reforms , in 1966 the office embarked upon a comprehensive review of the code . in 1978 it released a draft civil code and commentaries in which fundamental alterations to the form and substance of the 1866 code were proposed . a first replacement civil code of québec was promulgated in 1980 but only certain reforms relating to family law were enacted at that time . in 1987 , the legislature enacted a new law of persons , property , successions , trusts and administration of the property of another , but this enactment was never proclaimed in force . during the 1980s several further reform bills were presented as the legislature continued to modify both the 1866 code and the 1980 code , notably in matters relating to successions and family property respectively .
this article argues that burgerlijk wetboek ( bw ) of 1838 , which is the predecessor of netherlands’ current civil code , was not a copy of the napoleonic code but an improved version of it . it provides the history of the development of law in netherlands to highlight the context in which bw was written . it claims that netherlands , while constructing bw , followed the structure of the napoleonic code but removed some of its laws , whilst improving the existing ones . the article also asserts that netherlands created new laws to be used in bw during this period .

influenced by the napoleonic code , it also has some elements of spain ' s legal tradition , starting with the siete partidas , a major legislative achievement from the middle ages . that body of law remained more or less unchanged until the 19th century , when the first civil codes were drafted , merging both the napoleonic style with the castilian traditions .
the french civil code [ 1 ] was enacted on march 21 , 1804 . the code represents a comprehensive reformation and codification of the french civil law and was considered by napoleon himself to be one of his most significant achievements . nowadays it remains a strong legal , sociological and cultural landmark for the french nation . and in spite of some revisions that were introduced later , the napoleonic code is still very applicable in the french republic and law today .

the main theoretical difference between the costa rican and certain developed - world legal systems goes back to the 19th century and the ideas of a short french conqueror . the eponymous napoleonic code that he created is considered one of the first codifications of european law and is based on the principle that law should be clearly - written , specific , and accessible to all . many countries of the world – latin american countries among them – later adopted the principles of the napoleonic code in their own legal systems .
the napoleonic code aimed to sweep away privilege based on birth , grant freedom of religion , establish universal property rights , and abolish nepotism in government appointments . the code imposed a uniform civil law on france . previously , more than 400 separate legal codes existed in the different regions . it remains the basis of some civil codes , for example in the state of louisiana .

napoléon applied the code to the territories he governed—namely , some of the german states , the low countries , and northern italy . it was extremely influential in spain and , eventually , in latin america as well as in all other european nations except england , where the common law prevailed . it was the harbinger , in france and abroad , of codifications of other areas of law , such as criminal law , civil procedure , and commercial law . the napoleonic code served as the prototype for subsequent codes during the nineteenth century in twenty - four countries ; the province of québec and the state of louisiana have derived a substantial portion of their laws from it . napoléon also promulgated four other codes : the code of civil procedure ( 1807 ) , the commercial code ( 1808 ) , the code of criminal procedure ( 1811 ) , and the penal code ( 1811 ) .

today quebec has two civil codes , the 1993 civil code of québec , and the 1866 civil code of lower canada , which remains in force to the extent of federal jurisdiction under the constitution act of 1867 - notably in relation to marriage , interest and insolvency . the 1866 code was the fruit of a codification commission created in 1857 to consolidate , in a bilingual statement , all civil laws in canada east . for doctrine , the commissioners relied heavily on the works of the great french jurist pothier , to a lesser extent on various commentaries on the code napoléon and occasionally upon the text of the louisiana civil code . they derived the majority of the code ' s rules from the custom of paris , brought to new france in 1663 .

the napoleonic code was a unified legal code produced in post - revolutionary france and enacted by napoleon in 1804 . napoleon gave the laws his name , and they both largely remain in place in france today , and heavily influenced world laws in the nineteenth century . it is easy to imagine how the conquering emperor could spread a legal system across europe , but perhaps surprising to know it outlasted him across the world .

since 1866 quebec society has undergone considerable change . nonetheless , until recently the initial code remained largely unamended for reasons related to its symbolic status : it was reified as a reflection of catholic and francophone culture and as a counterpoint to governmental regulation in matters of labour law , workers compensation , consumer protection and family law , and as a bulwark against the intrusions of english common law . consequently , the 1866 code increasingly came to lose many of its virtues as a codification . to overcome the growing chasm between the law of the code and social reality , much noncodal legislation has been enacted . judicial interpretations often displaced code provisions as the definitive statement of law . the language , substance and assumptions of the code became outdated .
the creation process of the civil code was inspired by justinian ' s sixth - century codification of roman law , the corpus iuris civilis . the napoleonic code , however , differed from justinian ' s in important ways : it incorporated all kinds of earlier rules , not only legislation . it was a comprehensive rewrite with a more rational structure and no religious content . the development of the napoleonic code was a fundamental change in the nature of the civil law system , making laws clearer and more accessible . it also superseded the former conflict between the royal legislative power and the views of the judges , thus having no case law in france . however , the decisions made by some important courts have become more or less close equivalent to case law itself .
century . it analysis the reasons behind the varying adoptions and retentions of this code by making a fuzzy - set qualitative comparative analysis ( fsqca ) . qualitative comparative analysis “is the use of set - theory and boolean logic to analyze combinations of casual conditions associated with an outcome of interest . ” the article also claims that no single factor is responsible for the adoption and the retention of the code . it asserts that factors like napoleon’s varying influence on different german states along with the varying power of the feudal classes might have a combined effect in constructing the responses of the german states to napoleonic code .

while the code preserved equality and various civil and human rights for male citizens , it did not allow legal rights to women or children , who remained under the control of their husbands and fathers . other european countries adopted the code , about half of which remains in force in france today . indeed , napoleon may have been correct in identifying the civil code as one of his greatest accomplishments , for it influenced legal thought and practice around the world .
correction , sept . 13 , 2005 : this article originally implied that louisiana law students can choose to study common law in addition to required classes on the louisiana civil code . many law students in the state choose to focus on common law instead of the louisiana code . return to the corrected sentence .
although the french revolutionary constitution of 1791 specifically refused to grant citizenship to women , the idea of a social contract between husband and wife gained momentum . this concept was later expanded in the code . however , there were other more pressing matters that made the need for a code a matter of priority .
specific laws also reflect louisiana ' s spanish and french roots . for example , the principle of
forced heirship
—that a child is legally guaranteed a share of his parents ' estate—comes from the napoleonic code and does not appear on the books in any of the 49 common - law states . similarly , some laws governing commercial transactions in louisiana come from the french system , putting them at odds with the parts of the uniform commercial code used by other states .
furthermore , the civil code essentially confirmed the general principle established in the loi de nivôse an ii , according to which heirs should be designated by law .

the napoleonic code is a revised version of the roman law or civil law , which predominated in europe , with numerous french modifications , some of which were based on the germanic law that had been in effect in northern france . the code draws upon the institutes of the roman corpus juris civilis for its categories of the civil law : property rights , such as licenses ; the acquisition of property , such as trusts ; and personal status , such as legitimacy of birth .

napoleon . the legal system in louisiana—unlike that of any other state—derives from the civil code established by the french emperor in 1804 . four years before louisiana became a state in 1812 , the former french and spanish colony adopted a version of the napoleonic code .

the preliminary article of the code established certain important provisions regarding the rule of law , that is - laws could be applied only if they had been duly promulgated , and then only if they had been published officially . thus , no secret laws were and could be authorized any longer . the code also prohibited ex post facto laws ( laws that apply to events that occurred before their own introduction ) . furthermore , on one hand , judges were prohibited from refusing justice on the grounds of insufficiency of the law , thereby encouraging them to interpret the law . on the other hand , the napoleonic code also prohibited judges from passing general judgements of a legislative value .
napoleon ' s most lasting effect on france and much of the world was the set of civil laws that he instituted that still bears his name to this day . this code was so impressive that by 1960 over 70 different states either modeled their own laws after them or adopted them verbatim . the code napoleon took the over 14 , 000 decrees that had been passed under the revolutionary government and simplified them into one unified set of laws . the code had several key concepts at its core :
