Sanshiro Sugata aka Judo Saga 1943 + 1945 directed by Akira Kurosawa (english subtitles)

Sanshiro Sugata (Japanese: 姿三四郎, Hepburn: Sugata Sanshirō, a.k.a. Judo Saga) is a 1943 Japanese martial arts drama film and the directorial debut of the Japanese film director Akira Kurosawa. The film is based on the novel of the same name written by Tsuneo Tomita, the son of prominent judoka Tsunejirō Tomita, published in 1942.

The film is seen as an early example of Kurosawa's immediate grasp of the film-making process, and includes many of his directorial trademarks, such as the use of wipes, weather patterns as reflections of character moods, and abruptly changing camera speeds. The film itself was quite influential at the time, and has been remade on no fewer than five occasions. It spawned a sequel, Sanshiro Sugata Part II, which was released in 1945 and also directed by Kurosawa.

The film follows the story of Sanshiro, a talented though willful youth, who travels to the city in order to learn Jujutsu. However, upon his arrival he discovers a new form of self-defence: Judo. The main character is based on Saigō Shirō.

The 1997 documentary A Bit of Scarlet, narrated by Ian McKellen, collects clips from British films from the 1930s-1990s with either queer subtext or direct queer themes. While watching, I wished any of those clips had been labeled with their source, so for the last couple days I went through and tried to timestamp as many of the clips as I could. There's still a few missing (mostly short clips and interviews- comment if you recognize any), but this should be the majority. I'm putting it behind a readmore because there's a ton. If you're in the US, you can watch the film free with a library card on Kanopy.

Korean Albums:

Season 1 focuses on the 1980s, a personal favourite music decade. I will discuss 35 diverse Korean groups, duos, bands, and solo artists who released albums or made their debuts during this period.

Season 2 will explore the 1960s and 1970s through 30 episodes, highlighting a diverse range of Korean groups, duos, bands, and solo artists.

Season 3...

Fan Art:

I'm excited to try something new! The reason behind this is that I haven't come across much, if any, fan art dedicated to older Korean artists from the 90s and earlier. So, I thought it would be a great opportunity to explore this niche and create some art that celebrates their legacy.

La prima bomba atomica

fu sganciata su Hiroshima

Sono le 8,14. L'aereo è giunto su Hiroshima. La bomba denominata Little Boy precipita. Alle 8,15 la bomba esplode a poco meno di seicento metri d'altezza.

Un lampo, un ciclone di fuoco, un fungo gigantesco che saliva al cielo, poi un vento della forza di 1200 chilometri e la città scomparve dalla faccia della Terra, non con una morte nera ma con un abbagliante sole sceso sulla terra.

In 70 mila muoiono all’istante, spazzati via dalla potenza della deflagrazione dell’ordigno, come circa il 90% degli edifici presenti in città. Altri 100 mila moriranno nelle settimane e nei mesi successivi a causa delle ferite riportate e per l’avvelenamento da radiazioni. 

Vite umane liquefatte, ritornate atomi, calcinati i corpi, ustionati, piagati e contaminati dalle radiazioni dal punto zero fino a dodici chilometri di raggio. Fu questione di un attimo, per molti abitanti appena il tempo di percepire l’immenso lampo luminoso.

Nella zona dell’ipocentro la temperatura balzò in meno di un decimo di secondo a 3000-5000-50.000- 800.000 °C. Ogni forma di vita nel raggio di ottocento metri svanì in seguito all’evaporazione dovuta al tremendo calore.

Tutto è finito, arso, smaterializzato, tutto è ritornato in molecole, in atomi. In quel fungo rossiccio che si alza in cielo, ci sono gli atomi di migliaia di esseri umani.

Quando scompare la nuvola, di Hiroshima non resta più nulla. Una città con la cornice della morte.

La sera, il Presidente Truman annuncia la verità al mondo. Truman è felice.

"Con questa bomba noi abbiamo ora raggiunto una gigantesca forza di distruzione, che servirà ad aumentare la crescente potenza delle forze armate. Stiamo ora producendo bombe di questo tipo, e produrremo in seguito bombe anche più potenti."  (Comunic.Ansa, 6 agosto 1945, ore 20,45).

- web

"L'uomo ha inventato la bomba atomica,

ma nessun topo al mondo

costruirebbe una trappola per topi."

- Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein non partecipò mai attivamente alla costruzione della bomba atomica, ma la sua formula E= mc^2 fu indispensabile per sviluppare la bomba atomica perché implicava l’equivalenza tra massa ed energia generando una bomba a fissione nucleare, un’arma di distruzione di massa. 

Einstein si oppose all’uso militare del nucleare, ma aiutò la ricerca fiducioso del fatto che l’America non avrebbe mai usato le bombe per attaccare e distruggere ma solo in caso di difesa, qualora costretta.

Monday, 11-25-24, 7pm Pacific

Welp, it has definitely been a Monday, hasn't it? Mr. Baggins here with some music to soothe your achin' nerves and help ease us all into a good night. Let's start the evening off with the music of Debussy, his "Nocturnes", L.91. No. 1 Nuages ("Clouds"), No. 2 Fêtes ("Festivals"), and No. 3 Sirènes ("Sirens") , performed by The Montreal Symphony, led by Charles Dutoit.

Now let's hear our Brazilian friend Guiomar Novaes, with her wonderful 1957 recording of the Op. 9 and Op. 15 Nocturnes from Book 1 of Chopin's Nocturnes.

Now we turn from Chopin to Haydn; we hear his Symphony No. 102, from a live recording made in 1971. Here is Lenny with The Vienna.

Let's hear them do Brahms' fourth and final Symphony, the Symphony No. 4, in E-minor, Op. 98, from a recording made ten years later, live, in 1981.

Next we hear the Beaux Arts Trio, with another of the Piano Trios of Beethoven. From a live performance, we hear them play The "Ghost" Trio in D Major, Op 70, No. 1. Splendid performance!

Next let's hear a unique performance of Schubert's String Quartet No. 14 in D minor, the "Death and the Maiden" quartet, in a version for string orchestra, performed by Seiji Ozawa, leading the Mito String Orchestra.

Next we have a real treat: the legendary Fritz Kreisler playing seven of his own works with orchestral accompaniment led by Donald Voorhees, recorded live for a radio broadcast in 1945! Here is Fritz Kreisler playing his own most popular works on The Bell Telephone Hour, the Complete Program from April 16, 1945. We hear his Concerto in the style of Vivaldi, Old Refrain, Liebesfreud, Liebesleid, Schon Rosmarin, Rondino on a Theme By Beethoven, Tambourin Chinois, and Caprice Viennois.

Now let's hear Fritz Kreisler, this time with Sergei Rachmaninoff at the piano, in their landmark 1928 recording of Grieg's Violin Sonata No. 3, in C minor, Op. 45., from a truly HISTORIC series of recordings the two made together on RCA Victor.

To wind things up this evening, I thought we might hear Elly Ameling, Soprano, Hans Deinzer, Clarinet, and Jörg Demus, Piano (made by Franz Rausch, Wien 1835), performing that glorious bit of Schubert known as "Der Hirt Auf Dem Felsen", or "The Shepherd on the Rock", Op.129, D.965., from their legendary recording made in 1965.

And with the dulcet tones of a young Miss Ameling, we bring this evening's program to a close. I do hope you've enjoyed the selections this evening, and maybe heard something new to your ear. This is Mr. Baggins signing off for this evening. I'll return at 8am Pacific with Morning Coffee Music.

Until then, dream sweet dreams, babies, dream sweet dreams.

Baggins out.
