the maltese falcon ( 1941 ) is one of the most popular and best classic detective mysteries ever made , and many film historians consider it the first in the dark film noir genre in hollywood . it leaves the audience with a distinctly down - beat conclusion and bitter taste . the low - budget film reflects the remarkable directorial debut of john huston ( previously a screenwriter ) who efficiently and skillfully composed and filmed this american classic for warner bros . studios , with great dialogue , deceitful characters , and menacing scenes .
the gay nineties : a good chunk of the film takes place in the 1890s , when kane is at his height as a media mogul .
film noir films ( mostly shot in gloomy grays , blacks and whites ) thematically showed the dark and inhumane side of human nature with cynicism and doomed love , and they emphasized the brutal , unhealthy , seamy , shadowy , dark and sadistic sides of the human experience . an oppressive atmosphere of menace , pessimism , anxiety , suspicion that anything can go wrong , dingy realism , futility , fatalism , defeat and entrapment were stylized characteristics of film noir . the protagonists in film noir were normally driven by their past or by human weakness to repeat former mistakes .

among the movies we not only love but treasure , “the maltese falcon” stands as a great divide . consider what was true after its release in 1941 and was not true before :
future learning and skills – giving everyone the opportunity to build a lifelong relationship with film .
in the newsreel , a ground level shot features kane with adolf hitler played by carl ekberg , a norwegian - born actor who would portray hitler in several other movies , in addition to portraying german soldiers among other roles throughout his career .
jump scare : the screeching cockatoo near the climax of the film . quite possibly the best non - horror example in cinema history .
face framed in shadow : the film has a few shots of kane ' s face framed in shadow and stepping into light , or the other way around .
a reporter and a police detective sort through the clues in a night - club owner ' s murder .
welles ' s achievements in this film marked a new direction in cinema . many critics argue that citizen kane , with its inventive use of lighting and shadow , is the first film noir , or at least the direct predecessor of noir , a genre that employs dark , moody atmosphere to augment the often violent or mysterious events taking place . citizen kane introduced hollywood to the creative potential of cinematic technique . even apart from the controversy the film stirred , a multitude of innovations made citizen kane the most exciting movie in the history of cinema at that time .
exty years from now : the present year is 1941 , young kane was taken from his parents in 1871 ( 70 years ago ) and he ran for governor in 1916 ( 25 years ago ) .
during the war : kane manipulates the public sentiment to incite the war . bear in mind that the film came out before america entered wwii .

many sources have claimed that director boris ingster ' s and rko ' s stranger on the third floor ( 1940 ) was the first full - featured film noir . the expressionistic film starred peter lorre as the sinister ' stranger ' ( cast due to his creepy performance in m ( 1931 ) ) , in a story about the nightmarish after - effects of circumstantial testimony during a murder trial . others claim orson welles ' masterpiece citizen kane ( 1941 ) was also an early and influential pre - film noir .
( 1963 ) . although he stole the film , the character was not the focus of the story but only a supporting player to the suave jewel thief played by david niven . it wasn ' t until the second film featuring clouseau ,
after a dissolve , the next scene is on a dark street at the corner of bush and stockton streets . [ this is the only scene in the film without the presence of sam spade . ] the half - smile of recognition on archer ' s face as he approaches the camera [ and an unknown person ] quickly turns to a look of disbelieving horror as an unseen assailant [ suspect thursby never appears in the film ] pulls a gun and shoots him dead at close range . miles is blown backwards through a fence barrier and he tumbles down a steep hill .
produced by michael balcon for ealing studios , the south wales - set mining drama the proud valley would be one of only three films directed by the talented pen tennyson before his career was tragically cut short when he was killed in a plane crash in 1941 . shot on location in the welsh mining heartlands , tennyson’s tale of resilience and self - sacrifice starred paul robeson in his first film after a self - imposed two - year hiatus from the big screen . robeson was cast as miner and singer david goliath ; a role loosely based on the experiences of a black american miner whose search for work took him all the way to wales .
stock footage : the film contains a lot of this . for example , the newsreel has a scene where a man speaks to a political rally , denouncing kane as a fascist . the crowd was simply stock footage and the man was an actor , filmed in a low - angle shot to hide the fact that no crowd was present . the background jungle footage for the picnic scene was lifted from the son of kong and , in an infamous case of stock footage failure , you can plainly see pterodactyls .
film noir : although there ' s no crime involved , the movie has a lot of tropes associated with the genre .
titles of many film noirs often reflected the nature or tone of the style and content itself : dark passage ( 1947 ) , the naked city ( 1948 ) , fear in the night ( 1947 ) , out of the past ( 1947 ) , kiss me deadly ( 1955 ) , etc .
citizen kane is a 1941 film , produced by rko pictures and mercury films . it is orson welles ' first feature , and he produced , co - wrote ( with herman j . mankiewicz ) , directed and played the leading role as charles foster kane .
important note : strictly speaking , film noir is not a genre , but rather the mood , style , point - of - view , or tone of a film . it is also helpful to realize that ' film noir ' usually refers to a distinct historical period of film history - the decade of film - making after world war ii , similar to the german expressionism or the french new wave periods . however , it was labeled as such only after the classic period - early noir film - makers didn ' t even use the film designation ( as they would the labels
western
or
musical
) , and were not conscious that their films would be labeled noirs .
digital destruction : the film got an accidental taste of this . in one scene , out the window there was supposed to be rain ; the person in charge of the film ' s restoration thought it was excessive film grain , so it was digitally edited out of the restored print . later , the blu - ray boasted a new restoration , which brought back such details as the aforementioned rain .
the film actually attempts to avert this by having hearst mentioned by name in an early scene ( the reporters discussing the newsreel ) , establishing kane as a different individual .
a reporter and a police detective sort through the clues in a night - club owner ' ' ' ' s murder .
the first detective film to use the shadowy , nihilistic noir style in a definitive way was the privotal work of novice director john huston in the mystery classic the maltese falcon ( 1941 ) , from a 1929 book by dashiell hammett . [ actually , huston ' s film was not the first version - it had been directed earlier by roy del ruth in 1931 , starring ricardo cortez in the lead role . ] it was famous for humphrey bogart ' s cool , laconic private eye hero sam spade in pursuit of crooks greedy for a jewel - encrusted statue , and bogart ' s foil - mary astor as the deceptive femme fatale .
: orson welles was the trope namer . refers to the practice of shooting a solitary figure from a slightly lower angle . this magnifies the figure ' s height and presence in the mind of the viewer . greatly popularized by the film .
anachronic order : the film starts with the title character ' s death , gives us a brief newsreel outline of his life , then fills in the details of his life with a series of flashbacks . the flashbacks are not in chronological order ; their order depends on the order in which a reporter interviews people .
alternative character interpretation : in - universe with the opening newsreel in which kane is denounced as both a communist and a fascist .
one steve limit : averted . the film has characters named jim gettys and jim kane .
the credits wash down the screen over a view of the legendary maltese falcon - a black figurine that casts a dark shadow from an angular source of light . [ all four major stars ' names , bogart , astor , george , and lorre - in that order - appear on the second screen , following the film title . ] the mysterious legend of the fabled , treasured statuette ( a fictional account ) scrolls up the screen ( above the falcon ) to set the stage : :
aiming to test her loyalty , viennese opera star karl ( nelson eddy ) appears at the club where his wife maria ( rise stevens ) and best pal bernard ( nigel bruce ) are in the audience , disguised as a romantic russian , in mgms the chocolate soldier , 1941 . >
chiaroscuro : like many tropes , the usage of chiaroscuro in film was widely popularized by citizen kane , although it was already common in german expressionist cinema . this ties into the film ' s use of
deep focus
( one of the techniques cinematographers rave about in the movie ) . the way they managed to bring foreground and background objects into focus in the same shot required the more distant objects to be extremely brightly lit , encouraging the heavy - shadow chiaroscuro compositions . which is why welles put gregg toland ' s name on the same card as him .
classic whodunit mystery film about a gold - digging variety show actress who has many enemies and is found dead in her private railroad car at grand central station in new york .
soundtrack dissonance : this is a pretty sad film but don ' t worry , the end credits should pick you right up .

classic film noir developed during and after world war ii , taking advantage of the post - war ambience of anxiety , pessimism , and suspicion . it was a style of black and white american films that first evolved in the 1940s , became prominent in the post - war era , and lasted in a classic
golden age
period until about 1960 ( marked by the ' last ' film of the classic film noir era , orson welles ' touch of evil ( 1958 ) ) .

huston was convinced that he could remake the film with a more precise screenplay and better acting than the other two adaptations . the idea of a sequel following the film ' s success , to be titled the further adventures of the maltese falcon , was scrapped when huston became unavailable and when hammett demanded an exorbitant financial guarantee .

after a dissolve , spade arrives in a taxi at the street corner of the film - noirish murder scene - a deserted blind alley , one lone street lamp , dark shadows against a brick wall ( displaying a dilapidated poster for swing your lady ( 1938 ) - a comedy starring humphrey bogart ) , and a broken fence . there , a cool - headed spade talks with plainclothes police sergeant tom polhaus ( ward bond ) , who shows him the location of miles ' body sprawled near some rocks and the murder weapon . they rehearse the crime - the evidence reveals that archer was caught off guard - he was shot at close range with one bullet , and his overcoat (
the blast burnt his coat
) was buttoned with his gun unfired and tucked away on his hip . someone he trusted must have fired the shot . polhaus asks sam if miles was working , but sam refuses to tell the police much about their case - and is in too much of a hurry to view his dead partner ' s body closeup .
orson welles ' films have significant noir features , such as in his expressionistically - filmed citizen kane ( 1941 ) , with subjective camera angles , dark shadowing and deep focus , and low - angled shots from talented cinematographer gregg toland . welles ' third film for rko , the war - time mystery journey into fear ( 1943 ) , was one in which he acted and co - directed ( uncredited ) - it was set in the exotic locale of istanbul . the film ' s story was inspired by eric ambler ' s spy thriller about the flight of an american arms engineer ( joseph cotten ) on a black sea tramp steamer where he was threatened by nazi agents intent on killing him .
the film received three nominations , but no academy awards : best picture , best supporting actor ( almost 300 lb . sydney greenstreet in his talkie film debut ) , and best adapted screenplay ( by the director - john huston ) . competition from john ford ' s how green was my valley ( 1941 ) took the best picture and best supporting actor oscars ( donald crisp ) , and here comes mr . jordan ( 1941 ) took the screenplay honors . however , in the same year , its un - nominated star mary astor , in the best performance of her career , was actually the recipient of the best supporting actress oscar for her role in the great lie ( 1941 ) . neither astor nor bogart were nominated for their immortalized roles . bogart would go on to make more films with huston : the director ' s oscar - winning the treasure of the sierra madre ( 1948 ) , key largo ( 1948 ) , the african queen ( 1951 ) - bringing bogey his only oscar , and beat the devil ( 1954 ) .
in the first of chaney ' s two other horror masterpieces , he appeared in one of the earliest versions of victor hugo ' s novel about the hunchbacked quasimodo - a tortured bellringer living in a cathedral tower in love with gypsy dancer esmeralda ( patsy ruth miller ) in director wallace worsley ' s the hunchback of notre dame ( 1923 ) - it was another silent film version of the classic tale . [ an earlier version was the darling of paris ( 1917 ) , a lost film starring vamp theda bara as esmeralda . ]
timeshifted actor : being a fictionalized biopic , the film presents kane in all ages . all of them are orson welles in makeup , except for eight - year - old kane , played by buddy swan .
the miser ' s conversion ( 1914 ) ( aka the miser ' s reversion ) was the first film to depict a screen transformation by using a series of dissolves with footage of the character ' s different stages of makeup , rather than a single jump - cut . this was later used to great effect in many films including dr . jekyll and mr . hyde ( 1931 ) and the wolf man ( 1941 ) . in the film , the title character miser ( sidney bracey ) , 75 year - old john grisley , obsessed with the idea of evolution , acquired a rejuvenation serum that transformed him into a 40 year - old man with just a few drops . to intensify the effect , he drank the entire bottle of serum and reverted into an ape .
the man is sticking it to the man : a subversion . orson welles made this film for a hollywood studio and the film was a general satire of the american dream , yellow journalism , the hollywood style and narrative , and it states that capitalism is bad . this was made at the invitation of the studios themselves but as a result of hearst ' s interference on account of
perceived
libel , the film ' s release was sabotaged , welles ' reputation was smeared and hollywood learnt its lesson from
the man .
throughout the opening montage showing kane ' s vast xanadu estate , a single lit window is visible on the upper right hand corner of every shot , getting closer all the time . at the end , the light goes out , leading to the memorable scene of kane uttering his dying word .
thursby was shot four times in the back with a . 44 or . 45 from across the street , with no witnesses . [ by the end of the film , it is revealed that a gunsel named wilmer killed thursby . ] spade proclaims his innocence :
i ' ve never seen thursby dead or alive .
but dundy , a tough uncompromising cop , suspects that sam is now involved in two murders - he possibly killed thursby to avenge his partner archer ' s death :
. an avant - garde theatre director and radio star , his first film as a director was a technical breakthrough in cinematic storytelling and pioneered several achievements in cinematography , set design and special effects . the film was also controversial for its protagonist ' s thinly - veiled resemblance to real - life media mogul william randolph hearst , who subsequently
evans’ downbeat but impressive first outing , house of america – which scooped four awards at the 1998 bafta cymru ceremony and won evans himself the best directorial debut gong at the stockholm international film festival – is a dour tale of a dysfunctional family living in a run - down mining town . national identity , and the inherent pride or lack thereof in being welsh , is a key theme in a tale in which an absent father , american pop culture and diminishing opportunities also play important roles in shaping the lives of the characters .
: kane is an obsessive collector of everything , who then treats people like objects and dies a lonely old man , surrounded by glorified junk in a ridiculously opulent estate . the last line of the film is , in fact ,
toss that junk .

whatever dark , primitive , and revolting traits that simultaneously attract and repel us are featured in the horror genre . horror films are often combined with science fiction when the menace or monster is related to a corruption of technology , or when earth is threatened by aliens . the fantasy and supernatural film genres are not synonymous with the horror genre , although thriller films may have some relation when they focus on the revolting and horrible acts of the killer / madman . horror films are also known as chillers , scary movies , spookfests , and the macabre . see also scariest film moments and scenes ( illustrated ) - from many of the greatest horror films ever made , best film death scenes ( illustrated ) , and three great horror film franchises .

last year i helped fund a kickstarter for a documentary called a shot in the dark that follows a blind wrestler who tries to win a state title . last night my kids and i had an opportunity to screen the movie at a small film festival in providence , and i have to say it was an amazing story . we got to meet and talk with the wrestler anthony ferraro , his coach , the director - something my kids will not soon forget . although this is a documentary , it flows like a movie and even my 11 and 10 year old sons were glued to their seats . i thought the director did an amazing job of telling anthony ferraro ' s story , and i think he told it in a way that captures feelings from all sides - the wrestler , his coaches , and his family . they are still working on distribution for this movie , but if you ever have the opportunity to see it , i highly recommend checking it out .

b - movie lead character humphrey bogart , now introduced as a ' good guy ' , presented the definitive anti - hero sam spade in the mystery thriller classic - as a cynical , cool san francisco sleuthing private - eye who lives by his own code of ethics . bogart had just finished another warner bros . film high sierra ( 1941 ) , in a role that was also turned down by wb ' s contract player george raft . geraldine fitzgerald was originally chosen to play the role that mary astor eventually portrayed .
ince , a film director - turned - studio boss , died aboard hearst ' s yacht in november 1924 . no inquest was held for ince ' s death , leading to long - standing rumors that hearst , or someone in his employ murdered ince . peter bogdanovich ' s 2001 film the cats meow fictionalizes this incident .
charles foster kane repeatedly finds himself isolated from the world around him , whether he is young or old , happy or unhappy , alone or surrounded by others , which suggests that his final isolation is inevitable . the camerawork in citizen kane emphasizes this isolation . for example , we see kane as a happy child playing alone in the snow , and a short time later , the camera isolates him between his mother and mr . thatcher as they plan to separate kane from his home . he is still alone , but no longer happy . we next see kane seated by himself in the center of a room ringed with dark - suited men , who watch him as he opens a gift from thatcher . kane’s isolation follows him into adulthood , where we see him sitting on his own in his newspaper office amid a celebration in his honor . the camera locates kane in a triangular shot between bernstein and leland as the two men discuss kane’s increasingly depraved tactics . the three men may be in physical proximity , but the nature of bernstein and leland ' s discussion and the way the shot frames kane mark him as an outsider . eventually leland leaves kane , and kane barricades himself in his fortress with susan . but susan too leaves kane , and in the end he dies alone , never having formed a lasting bond with anyone .
the bejeweled , priceless ' maltese falcon ' [ a 50 - pound plaster cast , seven in all , made by the props department at warners ] is at the center of the intriguing film as an elusive but valuable object that is greedily desired , for different reasons , by all the principals , in the labyrinthine , noirish plot . [ the black bird serves as the film ' s mcguffin , a plot device that propels the story forward but is proven ultimately worthless - although it wasn ' t termed that at the time . hitchcock would later popularize the use of a mcguffin in his films . ]
malevolent mugshot : regardless of whether one views the titular character as a villain protagonist , this image ◊ certainly counts as the trope maker in film , beating out nineteen eighty four by seven years . since the point of the film is to tell kane ' s story and let the audience decide if he is a hero or villain ( or both ) , it is also an unbuilt trope .
hey , have you seen citizen kane ? you probably should ; it ' s practically the citizen kane of film .
let the past burn : the ending is a loose example , differing only in that the whole house isn ' t burnt .
decoy protagonist : the film is a double subversion . even though kane is the title character , he ' s actually the person we learn about through multiple third - person perspectives of him , since he died at the beginning . the real protagonist is jerry thompson , whose goal throughout the film is to find out what
rosebud
meant .
adapted from j . b . priestley ’s 1927 novel benighted , and featuring an impressive ensemble cast headed by boris karloff , melvyn douglas , charles laughton and gloria stuart , the old dark house sees numerous travellers taking overnight refuge in the titular dwelling during a particularly fierce storm in a remote part of rural wales . rather than a restful night , however , the guests of the bizarre femm clan experience a night of psychosis , obsession and dangerous familial secrets that threaten the safety of everyone present .
welles actually tried to get around this by including a line in the film in which a journalist makes a reference to both kane and hearst , thus indicating that hearst actually exists as a separate entity in the citizen kane universe . in later interviews , welles stated that hearst along with howard hughes and other industrialists were certainly influences on kane , but that kane was never intended as a parody / critique / insult to hearst specifically or other industrialists , it was meant as a serious exploration of an american mythical hero , the tycoon and capitalist .

kinetic and anarchic , kevin allen ’s cult black comedy crime flick twin town has one of its lead characters mockingly refer to the film’s main setting , swansea , as a “pretty shitty city” . populated by a rogues gallery of junkies , small - time gangsters , corrupt coppers and pensioners with a fondness for magic mushrooms , twin town was never going to be a film that the local tourist board would be banging the drum for .

actor conrad veidt and german expressionistic director paul leni were recruited by universal ' s boss carl laemmle in the mid - 1920s . paul leni was already known in his homeland for the spooky horror classics backstairs ( 1921 , ger . ) ( aka hintertreppe ) and the expressionistic anthology waxworks ( 1924 , ger . ) ( aka das wachsfigurenkabinett ) . after moving to hollywood , leni directed the cat and the canary ( 1927 ) , a derivative from a stage - bound 1922 melodrama . the influential film is considered the first gothic ' haunted house ' horror film . veidt was cast as an ever - smiling , grotesque carnival freak named gwynplaine in leni ' s next film for universal , the man who laughs ( 1927 ) , a superb romantic melodrama .

the precocious director huston was very faithful to dashiell hammett ' s 1929 novel the maltese falcon , that had originally appeared as a five - part serialized story in a pulp fiction , detective story magazine publication named black mask . however , for an early preview audience , the film took a different , short - lived title , the gent from frisco . there were two major differences between the book and film : ( 1 ) gutman was killed by wilmer , and ( 2 ) the last quotable line of dialogue , with a shakespearean reference , was thought up by bogart on the set .

film noir films were marked visually by expressionistic lighting , deep - focus or depth of field camera work , disorienting visual schemes , jarring editing or juxtaposition of elements , ominous shadows , skewed camera angles ( usually vertical or diagonal rather than horizontal ) , circling cigarette smoke , existential sensibilities , and unbalanced or moody compositions . settings were often interiors with low - key ( or single - source ) lighting , venetian - blinded windows and rooms , and dark , claustrophobic , gloomy appearances . exteriors were often urban night scenes with deep shadows , wet asphalt , dark alleyways , rain - slicked or mean streets , flashing neon lights , and low key lighting . story locations were often in murky and dark streets , dimly - lit and low - rent apartments and hotel rooms of big cities , or abandoned warehouses .

one actor who helped pave the way for the change in outlook and acceptance of the horror genre was lon ( alonso ) chaney , sr . , known as
the man of a thousand faces
because of his transformative , grotesque makeup and acting genius as a pantomime artist . he appeared in numerous silent horror films beginning in 1913 at universal studios . he was soon to become the first american horror - film star and hollywood ' s first great character actor . his first grotesque character role as a fake cripple ( a contorted figure named the frog ) , his breakthrough role , was in the miracle man ( 1919 ) ( a film that only partially survives ) . chaney ' s films , collaborating with director tod browning on ten feature films over a decade , included these examples of lurid melodrama ( and horror ) and crime :

without resorting to an existing literary horror figure , such as frankenstein , dracula , dr . jekyll and mr . hyde , or the invisible man , universal also created a new and ' original ' creature in two films - the werewolf - the last of its great original horror characters . the first us werewolf film was stuart walker ' s well - made the werewolf of london ( 1935 ) with henry hull as dr . glendon - the scientist who brought the ' wolf ' curse upon himself . the second , most famous and definitive wolf man character was in director george waggner ' s excellent b - grade film , the wolf man ( 1941 ) with lon chaney , jr . in his first appearance as the accursed larry talbot - his portrayal came to be his best - known role . the

he was forced to star in a series of very poor sequels , teamed up with other universal horror stars in b - grade films including frankenstein meets the wolfman ( 1943 ) ( in which chaney , jr . portrayed the wolf man and lugosi was the frankenstein monster ) , and in two films adding dracula to the mix :
the camera cuts to an indoor shot , a close - up of a telephone ringing urgently . an alarm clock shows 2 : 05 am in the background , blowing curtains flutter . a hand gropes for the receiver , and a grunting , sleepy voice responds off - camera to the call . spade is informed of his partner ' s death [ from police sergeant tom polhaus , we learn later ] at the corner of bush and stockton . after receiving the news , spade seems unaffected and unmoved . with an impassive face , he phones his secretary to notify iva , miles ' wife :

trade your passion for glory : kane , a young crusading newspaper owner , becomes the man in his later life .
another of universal’s classic horrors to be set in wales was george waggner ’s hugely influential the wolf man . a highlight on waggner’s jobbing , eclectic cv , the screenplay was written by curt siodmak , who went on record to state the film was welsh - set despite it never being specifically mentioned onscreen . both commercially and critically more successful than the studio’s initial venture into lycanthropic themes , werewolf of london ( 1935 ) , waggner’s much loved film saw lon chaney jr cast as the eponymous creature , a role he would subsequently reprise for universal in four more horrors during the 1940s .
biopic : it ' s a biopic of an entirely fictional character ( albeit one inspired by real - life figures ) but citizen kane more or less invented and codified many of the tropes of the biopic genre and actively inspired many later works on real - life figures . this has to do with the fact that the film ' s narrative actively tries to dramatize , as the newsreel colleague says ,
70 years in a man ' s life
. a major problem with any film biography is telescoping the key incidents and shaping a proper dramatic arc to a life . kane ' s approach , using the character death as an excuse plot inspired later films , such as lawrence of arabia and others , which managed to avoid the foregone conclusion nature of the story while still finding room for dramatic possibilities . welles putting on aging makeup and other aspects to show kane in different times , paved the way for other actors in later films to portray characters in different stages of life , for instance , leonardo di caprio in j . edgar . likewise , the film ' s focus on kane ' s interior struggle and ambitions as a way to make the character somewhat relatable often led to many films using a macguffin to tell the story .
. it would be the first of several attacks , one of which ultimately killed him in 1980 . at the time of his death , sellers was 54 years old , and he and edwards were preparing another clouseau film ,

the house narrowly escaped a raging fire that devastated seven residences surrounding it in 1967 . it survived thanks to a newly constructed building nearby that shielded it from the inferno . in 1995 , a movie based on the song was released . simply called ‘rajamati , ’ it had hisila maharjan in the title role , supported by shree krishna shrestha , maniraj , madan krishna shrestha and hari bansha acharya . directed by nir shah , it was the second big screen film to be made in newari . the opening scene , which showed an aged man narrating rajamati’s story , was shot right outside her actual home . today , like most of the houses in the area , its exterior does not appear to be in the best of conditions . in any case , this is not the facade that existed during rajamati’s time , and despite renovations , it continues to deteriorate . the jewelry that she purportedly left behind before leaving is also gone , familial poverty took care of that . all that remains of the legendary beauty is a song . and an old crumbling house .
a lane behind the akash bhairab temple in indra chowk leads to naradevi . halfway between the two areas is a low doorway . this unassuming entrance opens up to itumbahal , the largest courtyard in old kathmandu . on the left is the way to kichandra bahal , also known as the keshchandra paravarta mahavihar . it is here that the house of rajamati is located . it was a pleasant surprise when punya ratna shakya , the gentleman who guided me to rajamati’s abode , introduced himself as a descendant of the fabled beauty . “rajamati was my grandfather’s aunt , ” he said , with a hint of pride in his voice . “she lived a long time ago , of course . even my father , who would have been more than a hundred , never saw her . ” shakya still lives and works in the neighborhood , but the house , his ancestral home , is no longer in the possession of his family . today , it’s owned by prithvi narayan maharjan , who bought it in the 1990s . however , a part of it still resides with the shakya family in the form of wood carving designs that punya ratna’s father copied for his new home .
no one knows what happened to rajamati after her wedding . according to legend , a devious matchmaker got her married off to a poor family , one without a traditional aankhi jhyaal ( a traditional latticed newari window ) . shakya , though , believes this is more of a metaphor . “it probably means no one knows what kind of place she ended up in . we certainly don’t . ” shakya’s father , known as mukhiya in the locality , was a close associate of ganesh man singh , known as the father of democracy in nepal , who also hailed from itumbahal . with him comes a political connection to rajamati’s house . “back when they were fighting for democracy , ganesh man singh and pushpa lal shrestha used to hold secret meetings inside , ” he claimed . “they usually did this when people were preparing for feasts . when the police showed up , they just told them they were helping . ”
the song
rajamati
is one of the most popular songs of the newars . it also gained fame because it was played by a guard of honor during the state visit of prime minister jung bahadur to england in 1850 . maestro seturam shrestha made the first recording of the song on gramophone disc in kolkata in 1908 . prem dhoj pradhan made another recording on 78 rpm gramophone disc in 1964 . since then , it has been recorded by many artists .

education and awareness is must to improve water and sanitation situation in the country . if we failed to deploy all state mechanisms . . . .
stonespouts are more popularly known as hiti , a newari term for stonespouts . it is a sunken paved area equipped with at least one decorative spout , a jaadhoon ( overflow structure ) , an outlet and idols of different deities . many parts of the kathmandu city are named after the hitis such as bhotahiti , thanhiti , maruhiti , kohiti , banjahiti , lunhiti ( sundhara ) and , nugahiti ( sundhara ) in lalitpur . the spout systems were first of all created and established by the lichhavi rulers and expanded mostly by the malla rulers . the oldest stonespout discovered in the valley till date was built during the lichhavi ruler mandev i in the sixth century ( 550 a . d . ) in hadigaon area and his daughter built the second one in mangal bazar , lalitpur in 570 a . d . the traditional stonespouts also hold aesthetic , cultural and traditional importance besides being a continuous source of water to the city dwellers . thus stonespouts are traditional water supply systems that have been in continuous use for hundreds of years .
stonespouts are natural springs that were developed as sites for public water consumption several hundred years ago . even though some stonespouts are in critical condition and some exist no more , there are 389 stonespouts in the five municipal areas of the valley . apart from 68 spouts that have gone dry and 43 are connected to the city supply line ( kukl connections ) instead of its natural water flow system while 233 stone spouts still serve as independent water sources catering approximately 10 % of kathmandu’s population today . as a result of unmanaged urban growth and gross neglect of the community and concerned agencies , 45 stonespouts do not exist anymore .
kathmandu valley , an area of 500 square kilometers is a home to about 4 million strong population . water is central to the well - being of the population and key to its productive capacities . but current water services are grossly inadequate and unreliable . nearly all of the surface water sources and ground water sources have been exploited . whenever the discussion arises about water crisis , all the time the increased population and unplanned urbanization are to be blamed . kathmandu valley is the best example of this where people are struggling to get adequate water to meet daily requirements and at the same time facing problem of unsafe water . due to the inadequate and intermittent piped water supply , many people in the valley are returning to age - old traditional water sources such as stone spouts , and dug wells to meet daily water need . thus , many people with a majority of urban poor and tenants in the core city areas are mainly dependent on the spouts for their water needs .

shakya knows that most people today aren’t aware that his ancestor really existed . perhaps that’s why he seemed eager to open up about his family history . “there’s a line in the song - ‘sakumi ya mhyaya macha la’ , meaning ‘is she the daughter of a man from saakhu ? ’ a sakumi is a person from saakhu , my family’s ancestral hometown . we were brought here to take care of the vihar , ” he explained . the courtyard is ancient , it’s history going back to 1381 and the man is unaware of the exact year his family arrived at kichandra bahal , but , according to shakya , they still perform their traditional priestly duties once a year .

changing names is a common practice among nepali artists for a better name or for good luck . some astrologers suggest a different names for the success in their career . for example , bhuwan kc changed his name to a 7 - lettered bhuwann before the release of his movie ‘ sathi ma timro ‘ . it’s a different story , the movie didn’t do well in theater . actress binita baral had also changed her name to beenita ( 7 - letters ) on the suggestion of an astrologer . the result of the change in names were not that exciting . but , that won’t deter people from changing names . others change to a better sounding names like shova to nandita , radheshyam to ramit , nawaraj to nawal and so on .
we had compiled a list of actresses who had changed their name when they entered the nepali movie industry . this post incorporates male actors and some additional female actresses who had changed their name to a new name .
real name of rose rana is saroj thapa . originally from puythan , rose changed his name to start businesses including restaurant business .
real name of karishma manandhar is bunu kc . she changed it to karishma kc and then after the marriage it changed to karishma manandhar .
dipsikha shahi had changed the name to sikha shahi . she also calls herself darshan shahi .
