Passage 2:
1994–95 Orlando Magic season
The 1994–95 NBA season was the Magic's 6th season in the National Basketball Association  After building through the draft in previous years, the Magic made themselves even stronger by signing free agents Horace Grant, who won three championships with the Chicago Bulls, and Brian Shaw during the off-season  The Magic got off to a fast start winning 22 of their first 27 games, then later holding a 37–10 record at the All-Star break  Despite losing seven of their final eleven games in April, the Magic easily won the Atlantic Division with a 57–25 record  They also finished with a 39–2 home record, tied for second best in NBA history 
Shaquille O'Neal continued to dominate the NBA with 29 3 points, 11 4 rebounds and 2 4 blocks per game, and was named to the All-NBA Second Team, while second-year star Penny Hardaway averaged 20 9 points, 7 2 assists and 1 7 steals per game, while being named to the All-NBA First Team, and Grant gave the Magic one of the most dominant starting lineups in the NBA, averaging 12 8 points and 9 7 rebounds per game, as he was named to the NBA All-Defensive Second Team  In addition, Nick Anderson provided the team with 15 8 points and 1 6 steals per game, while three-point specialist Dennis Scott played a sixth man role, averaging 12 9 points per game off the bench, Donald Royal contributed 9 1 points and 4 0 rebounds per game as the team's starting small forward, and Shaw contributed 6 4 points and 5 2 assists per game off the bench  O'Neal and Hardaway were both selected to play in the 1995 NBA All-Star Game, with head coach Brian Hill coaching the Eastern Conference  O'Neal also finished in second place in Most Valuable Player voting, while Hardaway finished in tenth place, and Scott finished in fifth place in Sixth Man of the Year voting In the Eastern Conference First Round of the playoffs, the Magic overwhelmed the Boston Celtics with a 124–77 victory in Game 1  Despite losing Game 2 at home, 99–92, the Magic would eliminate the Celtics at the Boston Garden to win the series, 3–1  These matches would be the final 2 basketball games ever played at the Garden  Coincidentially, O’Neal played his final game in Boston 16 years later with the 2010–11 Boston Celtics before retiring from the NBA at 39 years old In the Eastern Conference Semi-finals, the Magic were matched up against the 5th-seeded Chicago Bulls  The Bulls were on an emotional high as Michael Jordan had just returned from his baseball career to play basketball  Jordan was now wearing the number 45 for the Bulls  The Magic won the first game 94–91  Tensions rose when Anderson indicated that Jordan was no longer the same player when Anderson was quoted by the media saying, "No  45 doesn't explode like No  23 used to  No  23, he could just blow by you  He took off like a space shuttle  No  45, he revs up, but he really doesn't take off " The comment motivated Jordan to return to number 23 and the Bulls evened the series with a 104–94 road win in Game 2  With the series tied at two games a piece, the Magic won Game 5 at home, 103–95  The Magic would eliminate the Bulls in Game 6 as the Magic won, 108–102 to advance to the conference finals In the Eastern Conference finals, the Magic would beat Reggie Miller, and the 2nd-seeded and Central Division champion Indiana Pacers in a tough 7-game series that saw the home team win every game  The Magic were off to their first ever NBA Finals appearance 
In the Finals, the Magic faced off against the 6th-seeded and defending NBA champion Houston Rockets  Shaq would be up against Hakeem Olajuwon in a battle of All-Star Centers  Game 1 was played in Orlando and the game was lost at the free-throw line  Anderson missed four consecutive free throws with the Magic up by three at the waning seconds of the game and the Rockets tied the game at the buzzer  The Rockets would then win Game 1 in overtime, 120–118  The Magic would not recover from their Game 1 loss as the Rockets swept the series in four straight  Following the season, Anthony Avent was traded to the newly expansion Vancouver Grizzlies, and Tree Rollins retired 
For the season, the Magic added new blue pinstripe road uniforms, while the black pinstripe jerseys became their alternate  Both uniforms remained in use until 1998  Orlando did not make another appearance in the NBA Finals until 2009

A Price Above Rubies
A Price Above Rubies is a 1998 British-American drama film written and directed by Boaz Yakin and starring Renée Zellweger  The story centers on a young woman who finds it difficult to conform to the restrictions imposed on her by her community  Reviews of the film itself were mixed, though there were generally positive reviews of Zellweger's performance 
The title derives from a Jewish Sabbath tradition  The acrostic Sabbath chant The Woman of Valor (eishet chayil) begins with the verse "    Who can find a woman of valor, her price is far above rubies     ," which in turn is excerpted from The Book of Proverbs  This chant traditionally is a prelude to the weekly toast (kiddush) which begins the Sabbath meal 

Plot summary
Sonia is  a young Brooklyn woman who has just given birth to her first child  She is married, through an arranged marriage, to Mendel, a devout Hasidic Jew who is too repressed and immersed in his studies to give his wife the attention she craves  He even condemns her for making sounds during sex and considers nudity with sex "indecent" 
Sonia is distressed and later, after a panic attack, she tries to kiss her sister-in-law Rachel  Rachel persuades her to talk to the Rebbe but Sonia cannot truly articulate what is upsetting her, instead resorting to a metaphor of a fire burning her up 
Sonia develops a relationship with Sender, who brings her into his jewellery business  Her husband forgets her birthday and Sonia says she longs for something beautiful in her life - even if it is a terrible beauty  Sender is the only release for Sonia's sexuality but she is repelled by his utter lack of morals  He is also abrupt and self-centred in his seductions, never waiting for Sonia to achieve orgasm 
Sonia sometimes sees and hears her brother  He appears as a child and judges her actions  On one occasion she buys a non-kosher egg roll whilst in Chinatown and her brother tells her off and an elderly street beggar-woman sees him and offers him candy  She comments on another woman's earrings and this leads Sonia to track down the maker of a ring she had discovered earlier that day 
The maker is Puerto Rican artist and jewellery designer Ramon, who works as a salesperson in the jewellery quarter but keeps his artistry a secret from everyone in the business 
Later Sonia's husband tells her she cannot continue to work  She is furious  Her husband insists they see a marriage counsellor (their rabbi) but the man decides Sonia is not being a good enough Jew  She says she is tired of being afraid and if she is so offensive to God then 'let him do what he wants to me ' The counsellor says we bring suffering upon ourselves but Sonia protests that her relatives who were murdered in the Holocaust and her brother who died when he was ten did not deserve their suffering  The counsellor says that 'we' do not question the ways of God but Sonia corrects this to 'you' and asserts that she will question whatever she wants to 
Sonia stops wearing her wig and starts wearing a headscarf instead  She introduces Ramon and some samples to a jewellery buyer who expresses an interest in his potential as a designer  They argue at Ramon's flat as she becomes bossy over his career, and he tries to get her to model (clothed) with a naked male model so he can complete a sculpture  She runs away 
Sonia's marriage breaks down irrevocably  Sonia is locked out of her apartment, and finds that her son has been given to Rachel  She is told she may live in a tiny apartment owned by Sender and kept for 'business purposes'  When she arrives, Sender is eating at a table and it is clear he has set her up as his mistress when she asks what the price is to stay: he says above that of emeralds but below the price of rubies  This is 'freedom'  Sonia hands him back the keys and leaves 
None of her friends will take her phone calls and Sonia is homeless  She meets the beggar-woman on the street and is taken to an empty studio and given food  The woman refers to an old legend (one her brother spoke of at the start of the film), to encourage Sonia  Meantime, Mendel takes back his son - for nights only  Rachel protests but he says he would appreciate her caring for his son during the day when he is studying 
Sonia now goes to Ramon's place and he lets her stay  She says he was right to be wary of her when they met as she has destroyed every good thing she had  But Ramon disagrees, removes her jewellery, and points out that her necklace is 'a chain'  (It is unclear if the necklace is of religious significance or if he means the need to have financial security through jewellery is a chain or restriction)  The two end up kissing 
Sonia dreams her brother returns from the lake to say he swam, and she - as her childhood self - says she swam too  When she wakes up in Ramon's bed there is a prominent crucifix on the wall  Sonia goes to speak to the widow of the Rebbe  The widow tells her that Sonia's words about being consumed by fire had awoken a fire in the Rebbe and for the first time in 20 years he had said 'I love you ' It is implied that they made love and the Rebbe had a heart attack  The widow is not unhappy with this outcome  She assists Sonia in reclaiming property from Sender's safe 
With Ramon's ring back in her keeping she returns it to Ramon  She doesn't want to stay as she does not feel she belongs  Ramon offers her time to think about what she wants 
Mendel arrives  Sonia asks after her son and then if Mendel misses her  He shakes his head  He asks the same of her and she shakes her head  They laugh  He apologises for forgetting her birthday but he knows that this was not all it was about  He gives her a ruby as token of his regret and invites her to visit their son 
Mendel leaves and Sonia says, 'God bless you'

Production
It was shot in Brooklyn during 1997  Entertainment Weekly reported that a group of onlookers, upset over the film's depiction of Judaism, got in the way of shooting one day  The producers faced backlash for casting Zellweger, who did not follow Judaism, in the lead role  Director Boaz Yakin remarked, "Zellweger was the best actor for the part  She is an actor  The Jews that worked on this film knew less about the Hasidic lifestyle than Renee did after reading 10 books about it  So, being a Jew doesn't qualify you to act the part any more than any other thing  It was more important for each actor and actress to find the emotional light of their character and learn to wear it like a second skin "

Reception
Roger Ebert of Chicago Sun-Times gave the movie three stars  While impressed by Zellweger's "ferociously strong performance", he found the film did not teach us "much about her society", and that the Hasidic community could have been treated in greater depth  Charles Taylor of Salon likewise appreciated Zellweger's performance, while also finding the cultural aspect treated too superficially  He described Sonia's choices as "clichés left over from the Liberated Woman movies of 20 years ago", and the movie generally as "that old middle-of-the-road groaner about the good and bad in every race"  Maria Garcia of Film Journal International was more positively inclined to the movie, and called it a "beautifully wrought, skillfully rendered, and brilliantly acted film"

Context 3: Passage 1:
Jacob Le Maire
Jacob Le Maire (c  1585 – 22 December 1616) was a Dutch mariner who circumnavigated the earth in 1615 and 1616  The strait between Tierra del Fuego and Isla de los Estados was named the Le Maire Strait in his honour, though not without controversy  It was Le Maire himself who proposed to the council aboard Eendracht that the new passage should be called by his name and the council unanimously agreed with Le Maire  The author or authors of The Relation took Eendracht captain Willem Schouten's side by proclaiming:

“     our men had each of them three cups of wine in signe of ioy for our good hap     [and the naming of] the Straights of Le Maire, although by good right it should rather have been called Willem Schouten Straight, after our Masters Name, by whose wise conduction and skill in sayling, the same was found ” Eendracht then rounded Cape Horn, proving that Tierra del Fuego was not a continent 

Biography
Jacob Le Maire was born in either Antwerp or Amsterdam, one of the 22 children of Maria Walraven of Antwerp and Isaac Le Maire (1558–1624) of Tournai, who was then already a prosperous merchant in Antwerp  Isaac and Maria married shortly before the Spanish siege of Antwerp in 1585 after which they fled to settle in Amsterdam  Jacob is thought to have been the oldest son, born perhaps the same year  Isaac was very successful in Amsterdam, and became one of the founders of the Dutch East Indies Company (VOC)  However, in 1605 Isaac Le Maire was forced to leave the company after a dispute and for the next decade tried to break the company's monopoly on the trade to the East Indies 
By 1615 Isaac had established a new company (the Australian Company) with the goal to find a new route to the Pacific and the Spice Islands, thereby evading the restrictions of the VOC  He contributed to the outfitting of two ships, the Eendracht and Hoorn, and put his son Jacob in charge of trading during the expedition  The experienced ship master Willem Schouten was captain of the Eendracht and a participant of the enterprise in equal shares with Isaac Le Maire On 14 June 1615 Jacob le Maire and Willem Schouten sailed from Texel in the United Provinces  On 29 January 1616 they rounded Cape Horn, which they named for the Hoorn, which was lost in a fire   The Dutch city of Hoorn was also the birthplace of Schouten  After failing to moor at the Juan Fernández Islands in early March, the ships crossed the Pacific in a fairly straight line, visiting several of the Tuamotus  Between 21 and 24 April 1616 they were the first Westerners to visit the (Northern) Tonga islands: "Cocos Island" (Tafahi), "Traitors Island" (Niuatoputapu), and "Island of Good Hope" (Niuafo'ou)  On 28 April they discovered the Hoorn Islands (Futuna and Alofi), where they were very well received and stayed until 12 May  They then followed the north coasts of New Ireland and New Guinea and visited adjacent islands, including, on 24 July, what became known as the Schouten Islands 
They reached the northern Moluccas in August and finally Ternate, the headquarters of the VOC, on 12 September 1616  Here they were enthusiastically welcomed by Governor-General Laurens Reael, admiral Steven Verhagen, and the governor of Ambon, Jasper Jansz 
The Eendracht sailed on to Java and reached  Batavia on 28 October with a remarkable 84 of the original 87 crew members of both ships on board  Although they had opened an unknown route, Jan Pieterszoon Coen of the VOC claimed infringement of its monopoly of trade to the Spice Islands  Le Maire and Schouten were arrested and the Eendracht was confiscated  After being released, they returned from Batavia to Amsterdam in the company of Joris van Spilbergen, who was on a circumnavigation of the earth himself, be it via the traditional Strait of Magellan 
Le Maire was aboard the ship Amsterdam on this journey home, but died en route  Van Spilbergen was at his deathbed and took Le Maire's report of his trip, which he included in his book Mirror of the East and West Indies  The rest of the crew arrived in the Netherlands on 1 July 1617, two years and 17 days after they departed  Jacob's father Isaac challenged the confiscation and the conclusion of the VOC, but it took him until 1622 until a court ruled in his favour  He was awarded 64,000 pounds and retrieved his son's diaries (which he then published as well), and his company was allowed trade via the newly discovered route  Unfortunately, by then, the Dutch West Indies Company had claimed the same waters

Passage 2:
Éric Rohmer
Jean Marie Maurice Schérer or Maurice Henri Joseph Schérer, known as Éric Rohmer (French: [eʁik ʁomɛʁ]; 21 March 1920 – 11 January 2010), was a French film director, film critic, journalist, novelist, screenwriter, and teacher 
Rohmer was the last of the post-World War II French New Wave directors to become established  He edited the influential film journal Cahiers du cinéma from 1957 to 1963, while most of his colleagues—among them Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut—were making the transition from critics to filmmakers and gaining international attention 
Rohmer gained international acclaim around 1969 when his film My Night at Maud's was nominated at the Academy Awards  He won the San Sebastián International Film Festival with Claire's Knee in 1971 and the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival for The Green Ray in 1986  Rohmer went on to receive the Venice Film Festival's Career Golden Lion in 2001 
After Rohmer's death in 2010, his obituary in The Daily Telegraph described him as "the most durable filmmaker of the French New Wave", outlasting his peers and "still making movies the public wanted to see" late in his career 

Early life
Rohmer was born Jean-Marie Maurice Schérer (or Maurice Henri Joseph Schérer) in Nancy (also listed as Tulle), Meurthe-et-Moselle department, Lorraine, France, the son of Mathilde (née Bucher) and Lucien Schérer  Rohmer was a Catholic  He was secretive about his private life and often gave different dates of birth to reporters  He fashioned his pseudonym from the names of two famous artists: actor and director Erich von Stroheim and writer Sax Rohmer, author of the Fu Manchu series  Rohmer was educated in Paris and received an advanced degree in history, though he seemed equally interested and learned in literature, philosophy, and theology 

Career as a journalist
Rohmer first worked as a teacher in Clermont-Ferrand  In the mid-1940s he quit his teaching job and moved to Paris, where he worked as a freelance journalist  In 1946 he published a novel, Elisabeth (AKA Les Vacances) under the pen name Gilbert Cordier  While living in Paris, Rohmer first began to attend screenings at Henri Langlois's Cinémathèque Française, where he first met and befriended Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut, Claude Chabrol, Jacques Rivette and other members of the French New Wave  Rohmer had never been very interested in film, preferring literature, but soon became an intense lover of films and about 1949 switched from journalism to film criticism  He wrote film reviews for such publications as Révue du Cinéma, Arts, Temps Modernes and La Parisienne In 1950, he co-founded the film magazine La Gazette du Cinéma with Rivette and Godard, but it was short-lived  In 1951 Rohmer joined the staff of André Bazin's newly founded film magazine Cahiers du Cinéma, of which he became the editor in 1956  There, Rohmer established himself as a critic with a distinctive voice; fellow Cahiers contributor and French New Wave filmmaker Luc Moullet later remarked that, unlike the more aggressive and personal writings of younger critics like Truffaut and Godard, Rohmer favored a rhetorical style that made extensive use of questions and rarely used the first person singular  Rohmer was known as more politically conservative than most of the Cahiers staff, and his opinions were highly influential on the magazine's direction while he was editor  Rohmer first published articles under his real name but began using "Éric Rohmer" in 1955 so that his family would not find out that he was involved in the film world, as they would have disapproved Rohmer's best-known article was "Le Celluloïd et le marbre" ("Celluloid and Marble", 1955), which examines the relationship between film and other arts  In the article, Rohmer writes that in an age of cultural self-consciousness, film is "the last refuge of poetry" and the only contemporary art form from which metaphor can still spring naturally and spontaneously In 1957 Rohmer and Claude Chabrol wrote Hitchcock (Paris: Éditions Universitaires, 1957), the earliest book-length study of Alfred Hitchcock  It focuses on Hitchcock's Catholic background and has been called "one of the most influential film books since the Second World War, casting new light on a filmmaker hitherto considered a mere entertainer"  Hitchcock helped establish the auteur theory as a critical method and contributed to the reevaluation of the American cinema that was central to that method 
By 1963 Rohmer was becoming more at odds with some of the more radical left-wing critics at Cahiers du Cinéma  He continued to admire US films while many of the other left-wing critics had rejected them and were championing cinéma vérité and Marxist film criticism  Rohmer resigned that year and was succeeded by Rivette 

Film career
1950–1962: Shorts and early film career
In 1950 Rohmer made his first 16mm short film, Journal d'un scélérat  The film starred writer Paul Gégauff and was made with a borrowed camera  By 1951 Rohmer had a bigger budget provided by friends and shot the short film Présentation ou Charlotte et son steak  The 12-minute film was co-written by and starred Jean-Luc Godard  The film was not completed until 1961  In 1952 Rohmer began collaborating with Pierre Guilbaud on a one-hour short feature, Les Petites Filles modèles, but the film was never finished  In 1954 Rohmer made and acted in Bérénice, a 15-minute short based on a story by Edgar Allan Poe  In 1956 Rohmer directed, wrote, edited and starred in La Sonate à Kreutzer, a 50-minute film produced by Godard  In 1958 Rohmer made Véronique et son cancre, a 20-minute short produced by Chabrol 
Chabrol's company AJYM produced Rohmer's feature directorial debut, The Sign of Leo (Le Signe du lion) in 1959  In the film an American composer spends the month of August waiting for his inheritance while all his friends are on vacation and gradually becomes impoverished  It included music by Louis Sagver  The Sign of Leo was later recut and rescored by distributors when Chabrol was forced to sell his production company, and Rohmer disowned the recut version  In 1962 Rohmer and Barbet Schroeder co-founded the production company Les Films du Losange (they were later joined by Pierre Coltrell in the late 1960s)  Les Films du Losange produced all of Rohmer's work (except his last three features produced by La Compagnie Eric Rohmer) 

1962–1972: Six Moral Tales and television work
Rohmer's career began to gain momentum with his Six Moral Tales (Six contes moraux)  Each of the films in the cycle follows the same story, inspired by F  W  Murnau's Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (1927): a man, married or otherwise committed to a woman, is tempted by a second woman but eventually returns to the first For Rohmer, these stories' characters "like to bring their motives, the reasons for their actions, into the open, they try to analyze, they are not people who act without thinking about what they are doing  What matters is what they think about their behavior, rather than their behavior itself " The French word "moraliste" does not translate directly to the English "moralist" and has more to do with what someone thinks and feels  Rohmer cited the works of Blaise Pascal, Jean de La Bruyère, François de La Rochefoucauld and Stendhal as inspirations for the series : 292  He clarified, "a moraliste is someone who is interested in the description of what goes on inside man  He's concerned with states of mind and feelings " Regarding the repetition of a single storyline, he explained that it would allow him to explore six variations of the same theme  Plus, he stated, "I was determined to be inflexible and intractable, because if you persist in an idea it seems to me that in the end you do secure a following ": 295 The first Moral Tale was The Bakery Girl of Monceau (1963)  This 26-minute film portrays a young man, a college student, who sees a young woman in the street and spends days obsessively searching for her  He meets a second woman who works in a bakery and begins to flirt with her, but abandons her when he finally finds the first woman  Schroder starred as the young man and Bertrand Tavernier was the narrator  The second Moral Tale was Suzanne's Career (1963)  This 60-minute film portrays a young student who is rejected by one woman and begins a romantic relationship with a second  The first and second Moral Tales were never theatrically released and Rohmer was disappointed by their poor technical quality  They were not well known until after the release of the other four In 1963 Les Films du Losange produced the New Wave omnibus film Six in Paris, of which Rohmer's short "Place de l'Etoile" was the centerpiece : 290  After being driven out of his editor position at Cahiers, Rohmer began making short documentaries for French television  Between 1964 and 1966 Rohmer made 14 shorts for television through the Office de Radiodiffusion Télévision Française (ORTF) and Télévision Scolaire  These included episodes of Filmmakers of Our Time on Louis Lumiere and Carl Theodor Dreyer, educational films on Blaise Pascal and Stéphane Mallarmé, and documentaries on the Percival legend, the industrial revolution and female students in Paris  Rohmer later said that television taught him how to make "readable images"  He later said, "When you show a film on TV, the framing goes to pieces, straight lines are warped   the way people stand and walk and move, the whole physical dimension   all this is lost  Personally I don't feel that TV is an intimate medium " In 1964 Rohmer made the 13-minute short film Nadja à Paris with cinematographer Nestor Almendros Rohmer and Schroder then sold the rights of two of their short films to French television in order to raise $60,000 to produce the feature film La Collectionneuse in 1967, the third Moral Tale  The film's budget went only to film stock and renting a house in St  Tropez as a set  Rohmer described it as a film about l'amour par désoeuvrement ("love from idleness")  La Collectionneuse won the Jury Grand Prix at the 17th Berlin International Film Festival and was praised by French film critics, though US film critics called it "boring" The fourth Moral Tale was My Night at Maud's in 1969  The film was made with funds raised by Truffaut, who liked the script, and was initially intended to be the third Moral Tale  But because the film takes place on Christmas Eve, Rohmer wanted to shoot the film in December  Actor Jean-Louis Trintignant was not available so filming was delayed for a year  The film centers on Pascal's Wager and stars Trintignant, Françoise Fabian, Marie-Christine Barrault and Antoine Vitez  My Night at Maud's was Rohmer's first successful film both commercially and critically  It was screened and highly praised at the 1969 Cannes Film Festival and later won the Prix Max Ophüls  It was released in the US and praised by critics there as well  It eventually received Oscar nominations for Best Original Screenplay and Best Foreign Film  James Monaco wrote, "Here, for the first time the focus is clearly set on the ethical and existential question of choice  If it isn't clear within Maud who actually is making the wager and whether or not they win or lose, that only enlarges the idea of le pari ("the bet") into the encompassing metaphor that Rohmer wants for the entire series "The fifth Moral Tale was Le genou de Claire (Claire's Knee, 1970)  It won the Grand Prix at the San Sebastián International Film Festival, the Prix Louis Delluc and the Prix Méliès, and was a huge international success  Vincent Canby called it "something close to a perfect film " It was Rohmer's second film in color  Rohmer said, "the presence of the lake and the mountains is stronger in color than in black and white  It is a film I couldn't imagine in black and white  The color green seems to me essential in that film   This film would have no value to me in black and white "The sixth and final Moral Tale was 1972's Love in the Afternoon (released as Chloe in the Afternoon in the US)  Molly Haskell criticized the film for betraying the rest of the series by making a moral judgment of the main character and approving of his decision in the film Overall, Rohmer said he wanted the Six Moral Tales "to portray in film what seemed most alien to the medium, to express feelings buried deep in our consciousness  That's why they have to be narrated in the first person singular   The protagonist discusses himself and judges his actions  I film the process "

1972–1987: Adaptations and Comedies and Proverbs
Following the Moral Tales Rohmer wanted to make a less personal film and adapted a novella by Heinrich von Kleist, La Marquise d'O    in 1976  It was one of Rohmer's most critically acclaimed films, with many critics ranking it with My Night at Maud's and Claire's Knee  Rohmer stated that "It wasn't simply the action I was drawn to, but the text itself  I didn't want to translate it into images, or make a filmed equivalent  I wanted to use the text as if Kleist himself had put it directly on the screen, as if he were making a movie     Kleist didn't copy me and I didn't copy him, but obviously there was an affinity "In 1978 Rohmer made the Holy Grail legend film Perceval le Gallois, based on a 12th-century manuscript by Chrétien de Troyes  The film received mostly poor critical reviews  Tom Milne said that the film was "almost universally greeted as a disappointment, at best a whimsical exercise in the faux-naif in its attempt to capture the poetic simplicity of medieval faith, at worse an anticlimatic blunder" and that it was "rather like watching the animation of a medieval manuscript, with the text gravely read aloud while the images — cramped and crowded, coloured with jewelled brilliance, delighting the eye with bizarre perspectives — magnificently play the role traditionally assigned to marginal illuminations " In 1980 Rohmer made a film for television of his stage production of Kleist's play Catherine de Heilbronn, another work with a medieval setting Later in 1980 Rohmer embarked on a second series of films: the "Comedies and Proverbs" (Comédies et Proverbes), where each film was based on a proverb  The first "Comedy and proverb" was The Aviator's Wife, which was based on an idea that Rohmer had had since the mid-1940s  This was followed in 1981 with Le Beau Mariage (A Perfect Marriage), the second "Comedy and Proverb"  Rohmer stated that "what interests me is to show how someone's imagination works  The fact that obsession can replace reality " In his review of the film, film critic Claude Baignères said that "Eric Rohmer is a virtuoso of the pen sketch   [He had not been] at ease with the paint tubes that Persival required, [but in this film he created] a tiny figurine whose every feature, every curl, every tone is aimed at revealing to us a state of soul and of heart " Raphael Bassan said that "the filmmaker fails to achieve in these dialogues the flexibility, the textual freedom of The Aviator's Wife  A Perfect Marriage is only a variation on the spiritual states of the petty bourgeoise who go on and on forever about the legitimacy of certain institutions or beliefs confronted by problems of the emotions  Quite simply, this is a minor variation on this central Rohmerian theme "The third "Comedy and proverb" was Pauline at the Beach in 1983  It won the Silver Bear for Best Director at the 33rd Berlin International Film Festival  It was based on an idea that Rohmer had in the 1950s, originally intended for Brigitte Bardot  Rohmer often made films that he had been working on for many years and stated "I can't say 'I make one film, then after that film I look for a subject and write on that subject   then I shoot ' Not at all   these are films that are drawn from one evolving mass, films that have been in my head for a long time and that I think about simultaneously "The fourth "Comedy and Proverb" was Full Moon in Paris in 1984  The film's proverb was invented by Rohmer himself: "The one who has two wives loses his soul, the one who has two houses loses his mind " The film's cinematographer Renato Berta called it "one of the most luxurious films ever made" because of the high amount of preparation put into it  The film began with Rohmer and the actors discussing their roles and reading from the film's scenario while tape recording the rehearsals  Rohmer then re-wrote the script based on these sessions and shot the film on Super 8mm as a dress rehearsal  When the film was finally shot, Rohmer often used between two and three takes for each shot, and sometimes only one take  Alain Bergala and Alain Philippon have stated that "all the art of Eric Rohmer consists of creating on the set a veritable osmosis among himself, the actors and the technicians " Rohmer even encouraged actress Pascale Ogier to design sets for the film since her character is an interior decorator  Ogier later won the Best Actress award at the Venice Film Festival  Alain Philippon called the film "one of the most accomplished films that Rohmer has given us   and that if the film moves it is because of its own risk-taking "The fifth "Comedy and Proverb" was The Green Ray in 1986  Rohmer explained that "I was struck by the naturalness of television interviews  You can say that here, nature is perfect  If you look for it, you find it because people forget the cameras " As was becoming his custom in pre-production, Rohmer gathered his cast together to discuss the project and their characters, but then allowed each actor to invent their own dialogue  Rohmer stated that lead actress Marie Rivière "is the one who called the shots, not only by what she said, but by the way she'd speak, the way she'd question people, and also by the questions her character evoked from the others " The film was shot chronologically and in 16mm so as to be "as inconspicuous as possible, to have Delphine blend into the crowd as a way, ultimately, of accentuating her isolation " Rohmer also instructed his cinematographer Sophie Maintigneux to keep technical aspects of the shoot to a minimum so as to not interrupt or distract the actors  The film's only major expense was a trip to the Canary Islands in order to film the green rays there  Rohmer chose to première the film on Canal Plus TV, a pay-TV station that paid $130,000 for the film, which was only one fifth of its budget  Rohmer stated that "Cinema here will survive only because of television  Without such an alliance we won't be able to afford French films "  The experiment paid off when the film was a theatrical hit after being released three days after its initial broadcast   It won the Golden Lion and the FIPRESCI Prize at the 1986 Venice Film Festival   It was mostly praised by film critics, although Alain Robbe-Grillet wrote an unfavorable review and stated "I didn't like it very much "The Sixth "Comedy and Proverb" was Boyfriends and Girlfriends (L'Ami de mon amie) in 1987 

1987–2009: Tales of the Four Seasons and later film career
He followed these with a third series in the 1990s: Tales of the Four Seasons (Contes des quatre saisons)  Conte d'automne or Autumn Tale was a critically acclaimed release in 1999 when Rohmer was 79  The previous titles of the series were A Tale of Springtime (1990), A Tale of Winter (1992), and A Summer's Tale (1996) 
Beginning in the 2000s, Rohmer, in his eighties, returned to period drama with The Lady and the Duke and Triple Agent  The Lady and the Duke caused considerable controversy in France, where its negative portrayal of the French Revolution led some critics to label it monarchist propaganda   Its innovative cinematic style and strong acting performances led it to be well received elsewhere 
In 2001, his life's work was recognised when he received the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival In 2007, Rohmer's final film, The Romance of Astrea and Celadon, was shown during the Venice Film Festival, at which he spoke of retiring 

Style
Rohmer's films concentrate on intelligent, articulate protagonists who frequently fail to own up to their desires  The contrast between what they say and what they do fuels much of the drama in his films  Gerard Legrand once said that "he is one of the rare filmmakers who is constantly inviting you to be intelligent, indeed, more intelligent than his (likable) characters " Rohmer considered filmmaking to be "closer to the novel—to a certain classical style of novel which the cinema is now taking over—than the other forms of entertainment, like the theater "Rohmer saw the full-face closeup as a device that does not reflect how we see each other and avoided its use  He avoids extradiegetic music (not coming from onscreen sound sources), seeing it as a violation of the fourth wall  He has on occasion departed from the rule by inserting soundtrack music in places in The Green Ray (1986) (released as Summer in the United States)  Rohmer also tends to spend considerable time in his films showing his characters going from place to place, walking, driving, bicycling or commuting on a train, engaging the viewer in the idea that part of the day of each individual involves quotidian travel  This was most evident in Le Beau Mariage (1982), which had the female protagonist constantly traveling, particularly between Paris and Le Mans 
Rohmer typically populates his films with people in their twenties and the settings are often on pleasant beaches and popular resorts, notably in La Collectionneuse (1967), Pauline at the Beach (1983), The Green Ray (1986) and A Summer's Tale (1996)  These films are immersed in an environment of bright sunlight, blue skies, green grass, sandy beaches, and clear waters  He explained that "people sometimes ask me why most of the main characters in my films are young  I don't feel at ease with older people     I can't get people older than forty to talk convincingly "Rohmer preferred to use non-professional actors in his films  He usually held a large number of rehearsals before shooting and would shoot his films very quickly  He spent little time editing his films  He usually shot his films chronologically, and often shot scenes during the time of day in which they took place  He explained that "my films are based on meteorology  If I didn't call the weather service everyday, I couldn't make my films because they're shot according to the weather outside  My films are slaves to weather "The director's characters engage in long conversations—mostly talking about man–woman relationships but also on mundane issues like trying to find a vacation spot  There are also occasional digressions by the characters on literature and philosophy as most of Rohmer's characters are middle class and university educated 
A Summer's Tale (1996) has most of the elements of a typical Rohmer film: no soundtrack music, no close-ups, a seaside resort, long conversations between beautiful young people (who are middle class and educated) and discussions involving the characters' interests from songwriting to ethnology 
Rohmer said he wanted to look at "thoughts rather than actions", dealing "less with what people do than what is going on in their minds while they are doing it "
Beginning in the late 1970s during the production of Perceval le Gallois Rohmer began to reduce the number of crew members on his films  He first dispensed with the script supervisor, then (controversially) cut out the assistant director, then all other assistants and technical managers until, by the time he shot The Green Ray in 1986, his crew consisted only of a camera operator and a sound engineer  Rohmer stated that "I even wonder if I could work in the usual conditions of filmmaking "His style was famously criticised by Gene Hackman's character in the 1975 film Night Moves who describes viewing Rohmer's films as "kind of like watching paint dry" Rohmer was a highly literary man  His films frequently refer to ideas and themes in plays and novels, such as references to Jules Verne (in The Green Ray), William Shakespeare (in A Winter's Tale) and Pascal's wager (in Ma nuit chez Maud) 

Personal life and death
Rohmer's brother was the philosopher René Schérer  In 1957, Rohmer married Thérèse Barbet  The couple had two sons  The elder, René Monzat (b  1958), is an author and investigative journalist at, most recently, Le Monde and Mediapart  His work focuses on the French far-right Rohmer was a devout Catholic and "ecological zealot"  For years he had no telephone and refused to get into cars, which he called "immoral pollutors"  For many years he was known to jog two miles to his office every morning  He was well known for his need for personal privacy and sometimes wore disguises, such as a false moustache at the New York premiere of one of his films  Rohmer's mother died without ever knowing that her son was a famous film director 

Rohmer died on the morning of 11 January 2010 at the age of 89 after a series of strokes : 1345  He had been admitted to hospital the previous week The former Culture Minister Jack Lang called Rohmer "one of the masters of French cinema"  Director Thierry Fremaux called his work "unique" Rohmer's grave is in district 13 of Montparnasse Cemetery 
At the 2010 César Awards, actor Fabrice Luchini presented a special tribute to Rohmer:

I'm going to read a remarkable text written by Jacques Fieschi, writer, director, creator of "the cinematographe", challenger of Les cahiers du cinéma, which recently published a special edition on Eric Rohmer  Truffaut once said he was one of the greatest directors of the 20th century, Godard was his brother, Chabrol admired him, Wenders couldn't stop taking photos of him  Rohmer is a tremendous international star  The one and only French director who was in coherence with the money spent on his films and the money that his films made  I remember a phrase by Daniel Toscan Du Plantier the day Les Visiteurs opened, which eventually sold 15 million tickets: "Yes but there is this incredible film called L'arbre, le maire et la médiathèque that sold 100,000 tickets, which may sound ridiculous in comparison, but no, because but it was only playing in one theater for an entire year " A happy time for cinema when this kind of thing could happen  Rohmer  Here is a tribute from Jacques Fieschi: "We are all connected with the cinema, at least for a short time  The cinema has its economical laws, its artistic laws, a craft that once in a while rewards us or forgets us  Éric Rohmer seems to have escaped from this reality by inventing his own laws, his own rules of the game  One could say his own economy of the cinema that served his own purpose, which could skip the others, or to be more accurate that couldn't skip the audience with its originality  He had a very unique point of view on the different levels of language and on desire that is at work in the heart of each and every human being, on youth, on seasons, on literature, of course, and one could say on history  Éric Rohmer, this sensual intellectual, with his silhouette of a teacher and a walker  As an outsider he made luminous and candid films in which he deliberately forgot his perfect knowledge of the cinema in a very direct link with the beauty of the world " The text was by Jacques Fieschi and it was a tribute to Éric Rohmer  Thank you 
On 8 February 2010, the Cinémathèque Française held a special tribute to Rohmer that included a screening of Claire's Knee and a short video tribute to Rohmer by Jean-Luc Godard

L'Arbre, le maire et la médiathèque
The Tree, the Mayor and the Mediatheque (French: L'Arbre, le maire et la médiathèque; known also as Les sept hasards) is a 1993 French comedy-drama film written and directed by Éric Rohmer  The film was shown at the 1993 Montreal World Film Festival where it received the FIPRESCI prize  
The frame story involves the mayor of an isolated French village who, to further his political ambitions, secures a grant to build a sporting and cultural centre, but the necessary felling of a fine willow outrages the schoolteacher and his daughter  Within the frame there is much debate about the current state of France: city versus country, agriculture versus industry, conservatism versus progress, the environment versus growth 

Plot
In Saint-Juire-Champgillon, a remote village of traditional left-wing adherence in the Vendée, Julien Dechaumes has inherited the manor house and grounds and has been elected mayor, though he spends much of his time in Paris with his mistress  There he successfully lobbies the Ministry of Culture for a grant to build a state-of-the-art sports and media centre  By enhancing his reputation in the area, it will boost his chances of entering national politics under the socialist banner  
Opinion in the village is mixed, with the most passionate opposition coming from the schoolteacher, for whom the destruction of a 100-year-old willow symbolises all that is wrong about the plan  When a journalist on a left-wing magazine visits the village to talk to people, her editor cuts her piece to focus on the teacher and the tree  The teacher's ten-year-old daughter explains to the mayor that all the children want is not the sophisticated facilities on offer but just green space and trees  A survey reveals that the water table has dropped alarmingly, needing costly groundworks that make the whole project unviable

Passage 8:
Isaac Le Maire
Isaac Le Maire  (c  1558 in Tournai – September 20, 1624 in Egmond aan den Hoef) was a Walloon-born entrepreneur, investor, and a sizeable shareholder of the Dutch East India Company (VOC)  He is best known for his constant strife with the VOC, which ultimately led to the discovery of Cape Horn 
Isaac Le Maire was born in 1558 or 1559 in Tournai  He learned the trade from his merchant brother-in-law Jacques van de Walle  Isaac had four brothers, three of whom were merchants  Already in 1584 he was registered in Antwerp as a wealthy grocer  At the time, he was also captain of the company of the Antwerp militia  He rented the house of Bourgognien Schilt, but in 1585 after the fall of Antwerp he fled to the northern Netherlands 
In 1585 he settled in Amsterdam  He was married in Antwerp to Maria Jacobsdr  Walraven and they had 22 children, and one of them, his son Jacob, would go down in history as an explorer  In 1641 his son Maximiliaen became the first VOC chief of Dejima in Japan 
Initially, Isaac Le Maire was the largest shareholder in the VOC 

Merchant in Amsterdam
In 1592 his name was registered for the first time in Amsterdam as a participant in the oldest marine insurance policy  In the following years he grew into the trade in European waters  Initially, he wasn't one of the wealthiest merchants, but he could make major investments by ensuring warrant positions within the direct and indirect family network  
Together with Peter van de Pulle and Dirck van Os he constituted a company for trading in Russia  They carried Baltic grain and timber to Spain  Ships with leather, wax, fur and caviar from Archangelsk often were destined for Venice and Livorno  They also traded in bills of exchange, chartering and marine insurances  Between 1594 and 1598 he had a major position in the fish trade between British ports and Spain 
After Cornelis de Houtman made the first trip to the Indies from 1595 to 1597, Le Maire, like many other merchants, plunged into the Indian adventure  In 1599 he and several others in Amsterdam established the Brabant Company, which carried out two voyages to the Indies  The Brabant Company was very successful, it quickly yielded the company 400% profit 
In 1600 he decided to concentrate on trade with the East Indies, but at that time he already acted in the West Indies as well  In 1601 he officially became a citizen of Amsterdam, which was no doubt because of the merger of the New Brabant Company and the Old Company into the First United East Indies Company in Amsterdam  This company, in which Le Maire was a participant, fitted out eight ships to the Indies, led by Jacob van Heemskerk 

Shareholder of the Dutch East India Company
In 1602, at the insistence of Johan van Oldenbarnevelt, all Dutch trading companies merged into the Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie (VOC) (also known as the Dutch East India Company)  Le Maire applied for shares for the sum of 85,000 guilders and he became the largest shareholder in the VOC   He got the high position of governor of the VOC  But he soon fell into conflict with the VOC and the Amsterdam Consistory as a result of malpractice concerning the journey of Wybrand van Warwijck in 1602  There were rumours that Le Maire intentionally did not submit receipts and other evidence of his share in the costs  The partners of the VOC let him be sued by the sheriff, but Le Maire settled the matter for 1200 guilders  The details of the offence were held secret  Because of this matter le Maire was forced to leave the VOC in 1605, while he also had to waive acting as a competitor of the VOC  This event was the foundation of his resentment and opposition against the VOC for the rest of his life  After leaving the VOC, he threw himself upon the European coasting trade, especially in grain  However, the thought of the lucrative trade with the Indies haunted him 

Competitor of the Dutch East India Company
Le Maire found his first opportunity to thwart the VOC in the efforts of France to set up a French trading company for India  King Henry IV of France invited him in 1607 for that purpose  Le Maire advised the French on the establishment and organization of a company, and in doing so ignored the competition stipulation with the VOC  However, at that time a French company was not yet established 
Next came the idea to involve Henry Hudson in the French plans  Hudson had already made two unsuccessful attempts for England to find a new North-Eastern passage, and in 1608 he came to the Netherlands to interest the VOC for that plan  He came in contact with Le Maire who proposed to the king of France to finance this expedition  With this attempt to find a new route to the Indies, Le Maire would not commit a breach of contract with the VOC, because the VOC only had a patent to trade via the Cape of Good Hope and the Strait of Magellan, until then the only two known routes to the Indies  The VOC got scent of this intention and offered Hudson a better contract, which ultimately led to his famous third voyage in 1609, discovering the river that was named after him  After the VOC had caught away Hudson, Le Maire and the king of France secretly came to an agreement to make the North-Eastern journey with another captain  The newly to be discovered strait would be named after the French king, and the new discoveries would be made under the French flag  However, the voyage, led by Melchior van den Kerckhove, was a failure 
In 1609, Isaac Le Maire travelled together with Joris van Spilbergen, Balthazar de Moucheron and others to Paris, again to discuss the formation of a French East India Company  De Moucheron played a double role in these discussions, because at one point he asked the ambassador of the Netherlands what it would be worth if he would disrupt the proceedings  The discussions so flagged because of mistrust by the French in Le Maire  Within the VOC the intrigues of Le Maire led to indignation, but it did not result in actual actions against him, probably because the Republic was not looking for a conflict with France during the war with Spain  In 1610 the King of France was killed and thus plans for a French East India Company were shelved 

Speculator against the Dutch East India Company
Isaac Le Maire also tried to use his knowledge of the VOC to cross the company financially  In 1609 he and eight others founded a secret company with the purpose to trade in VOC shares  Le Maire owned nearly one quarter of its shares  This so-called "Grote Compagnie" sold short shares of the VOC, that is, without actually owning them  By the time these shares were to be delivered, there was an interest in keeping the share price as low as possible  Le Maire probably expected that the competition by the still to be created French East India Company would ensure that the share price of the VOC dropped significantly  However, the French company was shelved  Rumours were spread to depress the prices, anyway  Such activities were detrimental to the (existing) VOC shareholders, who sometimes were forced to sell their shares at a low price  In particular, in 1609 the share price fell significantly, and the VOC imputed this to the machinations of Le Maire 
The VOC attempted via the States-General of the Netherlands to impose restrictions on free trade in VOC shares, which the company of Le Maire fiercely resisted  They claimed, the price drop was the result of the bad course of actions of the VOC  But the States-General decided in 1610 to prohibit the sale of shares not in possession (short selling)  During 1610 and 1611 the stock price of the VOC increased  The company of Le Maire then suffered big losses because many shares had to be delivered at a lower price than the market  They were therefore compelled to deliver shares at a loss  Several members of his company went bankrupt and Le Maire had also suffered significant losses, but he could still meet his obligations  This fiasco led him to withdraw from Amsterdam 

Dutch East India Company monopoly broken
Isaac Le Maire sold his property in Amsterdam and retired to his possessions in Egmond aan den Hoef, which he had bought between 1598 and 1600 from the estate of the Count of Egmont  After some time, he again started to make plans to break the VOC monopoly  The VOC owned by patent from the States-General the Dutch monopoly on travels to the Indies via the Cape of Good Hope and through the Strait of Magellan, until then the only two known passages to the Indies  From various travel accounts Le Maire assumed that south of the Magellan Strait another passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean could exist  In 1614 he founded the Austraalse Compagnie for the purpose of discovering this passage, which would fall outside the VOC monopoly  The voyage was prepared in Hoorn  Two ships were fitted out, the Eendracht and the Hoorn  The journey would be made under the responsibility of his son Jacob Le Maire  Willem Schouten was recruited as an experienced captain  The sailing orders expressly forbade a passage through the Strait of Magellan, even if a new route to the Pacific Ocean could not be found  Furthermore, the expedition was forbidden to trade on the coasts where the VOC had a trading post  At that time, there was still the expectation that a great unknown South Land would exist  Isaac Le Maire hoped to discover it, and in this way tap into an unimagined trading area  But above all, his motive was to circumvent the VOC monopoly  But Isaac gave his son a remarkable secret instruction: although the official sailing order was that no trade should be driven on the coasts where the VOC was established, on arrival in the Indies his son had to make clear to the administrators of the VOC that their monopoly had not been violated, because they had not sailed via the Cape of Good Hope or the Strait of Magellan  Then, he should ask permission to still be allowed to trade  Isaac le Maire anticipated it would not be granted, so Jacob would then have to do everything needed to win Governor-General Gerard Reynst, who had been, like Isaac Le Maire, a participant in the Brabant Company, for their cause  This even went so far as to Jacob asking Van Reynst the hand of one of his daughters  In this way Isaac le Maire tried to sow dissension within the VOC, because if Gerard Reynst allowed them to trade in this way it could lead to a major conflict within the VOC 
On June 14, 1615 the two ships set sail from Texel  The journey was a success in that, with the discovery of the passage round Cape Horn, the monopoly of the VOC was indeed broken, but the unknown South Land was not discovered, and the secret instruction could not be put into action because Gerard Reynst was already deceased 
After the ships had left Texel, the VOC got wind of the real intention of the travel  Therefore, the order was sent to the Indies that, if the expedition would arrive there, the ships would have to be confiscated because of a breach of the VOC's patent  And so it happened  Jacob Le Maire and Willem Schouten were sent back to the Republic, but Jacob Le Maire died during the return voyage  The VOC attempted to rewrite history by assigning the new discoveries to Willem Schouten 

The aftermath of the voyage
Isaac Le Maire had to fight many years to obtain his right  In 1619 the court ruled that the ship Eendracht was unlawfully seized by the VOC  The journals were to be returned to Le Maire, and in 1622 Le Maire could finally publish the Spieghel der Australische Navigatie door den Wijtvermaerden ende Cloeckmoedighen Zee-heldt Jacob Le Maire, to do justice to the discoveries of his son  For the damage, he was awarded 64,000 pounds  However, the court ruled that the Austraalse Compagnie was not allowed to trade in the Indian region, but that they did have the right to travel across the newly discovered route around Cape Horn  However, one year earlier the Dutch West India Company was established and in its patent it received also the monopoly on travels through the Strait of Magellan and other routes in that region  This was contrary to the rights that were granted to Le Maire's Austraalse Compagnie 
Le Maire died on September 20, 1624  He was buried in the Buurkerk in Egmond-Binnen, and on his tombstone he had written that he had lost during 30 years (except for his honour) 1 5 million guilders, a considerable sum at that time  His Australian Company continued the legal fight, but ultimately the States-General decided in 1644 to the detriment of the company

Context 4:  Hugh Willoughby in his early years attended the Rivington Unitarian Chapel  In this period Rivington Grammar school was having difficulty finding a non-conformist headmaster and it is believed this led to Hugh Willoughby being transferred to a Non-conformist school at Taunton, Somerset where he met a lifelong friend Israel Mauduit, the political pamphleteer  In 1732 he received the freedom of Dumfries in Scotland  His half-brother John Walton attended Glasgow University in 1736 and during the adult life of Hugh Willoughby all the Ministers at the Rivington Unitarian Chapel were from that University  His mother Ester Walton was interred at Horwich Parish Church on 16 Jan 1761
