Information: - Mon Oncle (My Uncle) is a 1958 comedy film by French filmmaker Jacques Tati. The first of Tati's films to be released in colour, "Mon Oncle" won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, a Special Prize at the 1958 Cannes Film Festival, and the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Foreign Language Film, receiving more honors than any of Tati's other cinematic works. - Monsieur Hulot is a character created and played by French comic Jacques Tati for a series of films in the 1950s and '60s, namely "Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot" (1953), "Mon Oncle" (1959), "Playtime" (1967) and "Trafic" (1971). The character of Hulot (although played by another actor) also appears briefly in Francois Truffaut's "Bed & Board" (1970). - Playtime (sometimes written "PlayTime" or "Play Time") is a French comedy film, and is Jacques Tati's fourth major film, and generally considered to be his most daring film. It was shot from 1964 through 1967 and released in 1967. In "Playtime", Tati again plays Monsieur Hulot, a character who had appeared in his earlier films "Mon Oncle" and "Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot". As mentioned on the production documentary that accompanies the Criterion Collections DVD of the film, by 1964 Tati had grown ambivalent towards playing Hulot as a recurring central role. Unable to dispense with the popular character altogether, Hulot appears intermittently in "Playtime", alternating between central and supporting roles. Shot in 70 mm, "Playtime" is notable for its enormous set, which Tati had built specially for the film, as well as Tati's trademark use of subtle, yet complex visual comedy supported by creative sound effects; dialogue is frequently reduced to the level of background noise. - Jacques Tati (born Jacques Tatischeff, ; 9 October 1907 5 November 1982) was a French filmmaker, actor, and screenwriter. Throughout his long career, he worked as a comic actor, writer, and director. In a poll conducted by "Entertainment Weekly" of the Greatest Movie Directors, Tati was voted the 46th greatest of all time. With only six feature-length films to his credit as director, he directed fewer films than any other director on this list of 50. - Cours du Soir ( Evening Classes ) is a thirty - minute short film in which Jacques Tati demonstrates the art of mime to a group of enthusiastic students . Amongst skits performed are those of a tennis player and a horse rider -- sketches that initially brought Tati acclaim on music hall stages in the 1930s . Nicolas Ribowski directed the short on the set of Playtime in 1966 . - Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot (released as Monsieur Hulot's Holiday in the US) is a 1953 French comedy film starring and directed by Jacques Tati. It introduced the pipe-smoking, well-meaning but clumsy character of Monsieur Hulot, who appears in Tati's subsequent films, including "Mon Oncle" (1959), "Playtime" (1967), and "Trafic" (1971). The film gained an international reputation for its creator when released in 1953. The film was very successful as it had a total of 5,071,920 admissions in France.

Historians are concerned with the continuous, methodical narrative and research of past events as relating to the human race; as well as the study of all history in time. If the individual is concerned with events preceding written history, the individual is a historian of prehistory. Although "historian" can be used to describe amateur and professional historians alike, it is reserved more recently for those who have acquired graduate degrees in the discipline. Some historians, though, are recognized by publications or training and experience. "Historian" became a professional occupation in the late nineteenth century as research universities were emerging in Germany and elsewhere. - Henry David Thoreau (see name pronunciation; July 12, 1817 May 6, 1862) was an American essayist, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, and historian.
