Dreams, Movie, Akira Kurosawa Transforms Dreams into Art and Myth. Director Akira Kurosawa originally aspired to be a painter. In Dream, Akira Kurosawa drew and painted, scene by scene, long before producing the Film. The Japanese are proud to have this Great Creator, taking his Work to the whole World. You will see throughout Eight episodes a treat for the eyes. The Movie speaks of the Japanese Myths Kamis (which encompasses everything. In Japanese mythology everything has a spirit or a deity that inhabits that body, gods, goddesses, spirits, deities, magical creatures, ancestral spirits, animal spirits etc). It would be the elementals, nature deities and daemons, gods and goddesses, etc. Not unlike Greek Mythology. Everything told, as if they were dreams. It's as if you go to an art exhibition, and appreciate one by one of the paintings. Film and Work, made with great care. You will see in Episode 5, inserted in the story, the last Work painted by Vincent Van Gogh "Wheat Field with Crows". The character enters the Canvas and walks through several Works by Van Gogh, with Akira Kurosawa recreating the landscapes of the Screen, where the character walks, wonderful to see, and has a conversation with the Painter. In another episode, you'll see the deities who take care of the cherry blossoms, a Spectacular Dance with Wonderful Costumes! In another episode you will see climbers descending to camp, in a heavy snowfall, and get lost, and the snowfall gets worse, until they fall asleep in the ice, by the delicate hands of the of the snow goddess. There are many more episodes. But I'm going to talk about another episode. "Village of the Waters". It's beautiful, we see the Japanese Culture, told by a man of over 100 years old, who teaches to respect the Cycle of Nature, and it is explained, methodically, why respect for Nature . The place where the story takes place is a special village. So, as I said, it's a delight for the eyes! It's Art in Motion! Enjoy "The Seventh Art", or better coming from Akira Kurosawa, enjoy this "Masterpiece"! (To read + Articles 2020, 2021 Click Article Archive above, Click the month, scroll down, just read!)

The Nine Muses Beauty, Talent, Inspiration Roman Greek Mythology. With the victory of the Olympian gods, over the six children of Uranus (Titans). Zeus was asked to create deities capable of singing victory and perpetuating the glory of the Olympians. Zeus then shared a bed with Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory, for ten consecutive nights, and a year later Mnemosyne gave birth to nine daughters near Mount Olympus. To the delight of the Pantheon, the Muses sang of the present, past and future, accompanied by the lyre of Apollo, who was their leader. Very jealous of their honor, they punished mortals who dared to assume equality with them in the art of music and all that they mastered. The mermaids, daring to compete with them (in the corner), were deprived of the feathers of their wings, which the muses themselves had adorned. CALÍOPE (A da Bela Voz) The first among her sisters, Muse of Eloquence and Epic Poetry and of Science in General. CLIO (The Proclaimer) (The One Who Gives Fame) Muse of History and Creativity, EUTERPE (The Giver of Pleasures) (The One Who Gives Jubilation) Muse of Lyric Poetry and Music, TÀLIA (The One Who Makes Flowers Sprout) (The Festive ) Muse of Comedy, MELPÔMENE (She Who Is Melodious) (The Singer) Despite Her Joyful Song Muse of Tragedy, TERPSÍCORE (The Whirling) (The One Who Loves to Dance) Muse of Dance and Singing Choir Mãe das Sereias, ÉRATO (Amável ) (The One That Awakes Desire) Muse of Lyric Poetry, Romantic Poetry, POLYMNIA (The One of Many Hymns) Muse of Sacred Hymns Sacred Ceremonial Music Story Narrative of the Meditation of the Geometry of Agriculture, URANIA (The Celestial) (Celeste) Muse of Astronomy Astrology Surrealism Souvenirs Mathematics Concept. Museum originates from the Muses (Very Appropriate). As it has feathered wings, it comes through the air and blows into Human ears and thoughts, its inspirations. So choose your Inspiring Muse. But remember, ask and never dare to assume equality with them, lest you be punished! And enjoy all the inspiration given by them!

Unparalleled elegance when composing in Poetic form songs talking about Racial Prejudice, Protest for Humanity and also Poetically talking about Love. Always dressed with a lot of elegance. Luiz Melody, "Melody even in the Name". He used his artistic freedom to talk about "delicate and controversial" themes that few composers have managed to express in such an elegant way. Just speaking, something would be missing, which is the Poetry, of this "Black Cat" (as he called himself in music) EXCERPT FROM THE SONGS: I'm a feline - There are people to sit down to see me - I give up... In high heels a black feline - It's good to see... (Feline - Luiz Melody). PROTEST SONGS: Worry about me... I don't jump on your trapeze - So I don't fall down... Animal institute... I'm more sub-abnormal... With money, blood and misery - Confection your carnival - But if poverty frightens you - Cretinicity gnaws at you - Sub-abnormal, about the world - That cuts and destroys you. (Sub-abnormal Luiz Melody) OTHER: I'm on the street at the weekend - Don't come to me for fear - I've already seen a rock... This movie I've seen... There's scenery in every corner - And I'm visible as a sucker - And they serving our pain... I've seen this movie... Night fell in my throat - A drowned mystery - In front of the kid's face - I gave two more not to smile... I gave two more to know life - This one movie I've already seen (This Movie I've already seen - Luiz Melody). ACTING IN THE CAUSE OF RACIAL PREJUDICE: My name is ebony - I come to congratulate you on your attitude - I hope to find you in better health... I scream ebony - The leather that covers my flesh - No plans - The shadow of neurosis haunts you - How many years (Ebony - Luiz Melody) "Godlike! Noticed! Poetry and elegance when talking about the Theme!". OTHER: I came from there, I came from the mystery of race square... Anyone, in the plot of grace - We are beverages to drink... But whoever doesn't step on the earth doesn't feel the ground - Light is life, pulsation. (Mystery of the Race - Luiz Melody). TALKING ABOUT HUMAN SOLITUDE: I was in the one that makes you feel sorry - Watching the moon walk alone... Even if everything gathers around - In us, the only thing will always exist. (Only - Luiz Melody). LOVE: ...Pass life, pass the air - But what I want is to find - My place in the south - Money that was mine - Your kisses but, alas, I want you or nothing - I cry to the luck given - Pass the life passes the air - But what I want is to find - The old friends, the fake days, the moonlight... (Blue Sailboat - Luiz Melody) ONE MORE: Following the heart - I'm going to the air - It's all light... Living with you - Reminds me - Star slash... (Destiny, Heart - Luiz Melodia) PASSION: Passion is in an instant - When you see her, she's gone... But I don't know how to live without her darling - Me, the two of us just one person... Having passion is good... like honey candy - If you wind it - It rolls like a spool (Passion - Luiz Melody) LOVE WELL SOLVED: Among songs I've heard... You didn't come... Fear or uncertainty ... A color invites... But honesty is worth it - I communicate, I don't ask - I hope that in this universe - Somebody wants you the way I want to... ( Save, Beautiful Hopeless Song - Luiz Melody ) CLOSING: I'm around town - Elegant costumes about me... I lose myself above the crowd... You will be love my song (Where the Sun Beats and If Signed - Luís Melody). "I can only quote small excerpts from the lyrics". Luiz Melodia had a total of 147 songs. I listened to all the songs and watched all the videos (To see you elegantly dressed - The same process I did with David Bowie, to write the article for you guys). To compile, separate and explain separately, his Poetic and Musical extension, which he left expressed with Elegance. A long time ago I went to a show by Luiz Melody at SESC Pompeii, outdoors, you know who was beside me, also honoring the "Black Feline" Arnaldo Antunes who was from Titans Band. Arnaldo Antunes was elegantly dressed (as usual). The show was around 5:00 pm. It was a summer day. It was amazing! Listen to Luiz Melody one of these days. (ALL WRITTEN ARTICLES ARE AVAILABLE ABOVE.

Gods of Greek Roman Mythology and Influences in Modern Times. Zeus Supreme ruler of the gods, presides over justice, ruler of the state, lord of the heavens and men, of hygiene and physical exercise. The Olympics are in his honor, as he is the Lord of Mount Olympus. And Helio (Sun, because it warms heart and soul, brings light and warmth to men) are my Parents Hermes (god of commerce, media "communication" and deception and messenger of the gods) my brother did a lot this year, probably my father will scold him. Uranus (god of the firmament, rules inventions, science, electricity, X-rays, airplanes, the magic, the occult, the understanding of the laws of Nature and Astrology itself. He also rules the will to create, changes sudden, revolutions, freedom and is a destroyer of traditions) is my Great-grandfather and Gaia my Great-grandmother (Earth, born of the original Chaos, mother of mountains and sea) and Cronos (god of time (chrono)logical and ancient) my most worthy Grandfather. Poseidon (god of the seas, governs the entire ocean and all the deities of the seas) and Plouton (god of wealth) are my Dear Uncles. Hera (supreme goddess, patron of marriage and childbirth, with a special interest in protecting married women) my Mother. Ares (god of war) my brother, Aphrodite (Greek goddess of beauty, fertility and love, corresponding to Roman Venus, however, unlike the latter, represented not only sexual love but also the affection that sustains social life), my sister. Palas Athena, protector of Athens, on which the temple Palas Athena was built (goddess of wisdom, prudence, capacity for reflection, mental power, lover of beauty and perfection), my sister. (WHAT I JUST WRITER, IS A POETIC LICENSE). The Romans invaded the Balkan Peninsula, where the Greek civilization developed. There the Romans made many slaves, including several Greek sages. Upon arriving in Rome, these enslaved sages performed various functions such as, for example, educating the children of the aristocratic families of the Empire. By educating these children, the sages transmitted values from Greek culture to Roman children, making them assimilate these values and mix them with their own, as in the case of gods and religion. Children become adults, but they do not lose the values passed down by the Greek sages. These adults end up continuing these values. There are several examples of this mixture of values, but the best known is the association of the Greek gods with the Roman gods. That's why the best known are the Roman names of the gods, so I'll exemplify: (Zeus - Greek... Jupiter - Roman), (Helio - Greek...Sol Invictus - Roman), (Cronos - Greek... Saturn - Roman), (Hera - Greek...Juno - Roman), (Hephaestus - Greek...Vulcan - Roman), (Poseidon - Greek... Neptune - Roman), (Hades/Day - Greek... Pluto or Ploutos... Roman), (Ares - Greek... Mars - Roman), (Apollo - Greek... Phoebus - Roman), (Artemis - Greek... Diana - Roman), (Aphrodite - Greek... Venus - Roman), (Eros - Greek... Cupid - Roman), (Palas Athens - Greek... Minerva - Roman), (Hermes - Greek... Mercury - Roman), (Demeter - Greek... Ceres - Roman), (Selene/Selena - Greek... Luna or Moon - Roman). (Apollo - Greek... Phoebus - Roman). Rome to Centuries, defined The Calendar that is Roman and Solar. (Different from the Hebrew Calendar, which is governed by the Moon, so in Israel the Calendar is usually different.) The days of the week are all named in Roman (as you were taught in the School, the names of the Planets, in sequence ). Come on! The week starts on Sunday. So here we go: SUNDAY (Day of the Sun), MONDAY - LUNES in Spanish (Day of the Moon), TUESDAY - MARTES in Spanish (Day of Mars), WEDNESDAY - MIÉRCULES in Spanish (Day of Mercury) THURSDAY - JUEVES in Spanish (Day) of Jupiter (THOR) in German God of Thunder, which is one of the attributes of Jupiter and also because he commands all the youthful age, from which the word descends), FRIDAY - VIERNES in Spanish (Day of Venus (FREYA) in German), SATURDAY - SATURDAY in Spanish (Saturn Day). Yes. Each god commands his day. He reigns sovereign over that day. And do you know which day is the feast of Sol Invictus? December 25th!!! There are more mysteries between heaven and earth than our vain philosophy dreams of - William Shakespeare. Good! Then! Each day of the week is ruled by a god (deity, angels, etc). So in practice, we would have Luck, (THEY SAY!) on a daily basis, in the obligations of each god  on their respective day. SUNDAY (Whether you work or not that day, thank King Father Sun, his benefits, and everything you do that day, you will get great results). MONDAY (ruled goddess of the moon, Selene was the patroness of the feminine. It was believed that she had the power to ease childbirth and inspire love, in addition to masking reality and, in turn, breaking illusions. Features: Among other powers of goddess of the moon, Selene awakens intuition and provokes psychic visions. This probably derives from the association of the moon and night with dreams. This association may also be why Selene is widely regarded as the patroness of solutions, which often appear to people in dreams when the subconscious mind has a chance to process information that has not been consciously recognized). So on Monday, dream at night, to bring solutions. TUESDAY (Mars Day, if Mars is god of war, that means strategy). So it's a day to solve the most difficult things of everyday life. WEDNESDAY (Mercury day, communication). Set up a meeting, a job interview, dissolve a misunderstanding, everything that has to do with communication. THURSDAY (Day of the great Father, god Jupiter), everything you do will benefit. FRYDAY (Day of Venus). Be loving that day in everything you do, the goddess Venus will return. SATURDAY (ruled by Saturn, god of time, the Elder). We should rest, (Hence the Sabbatical Year), but if not possible, work on that day. Try to do everything more calmly than on the other days of the week. At least try to lighten the day. (If working as far as possible). Further on in another article I will talk about chronological age, as the Greco-Roman gods take care of each phase of our age. To which it was delegated by the Most High Sovereign, to take care of our different stages in Life. The summary I made above of the Pantheon of Gods is small, but they all had children, which consequently has other obligations in Greco-Roman Mythology. THE INFLUENCES OF THE MOON, SELENE, ISIS, ARTEMIS. In the physical world; gravity, tides, and the dynamics of bodily fluids. And in its phases, on a daily basis, it influences our emotions, fertility, nutrition, integration with the public, business, interpersonal relationships, health, sleep, etc. (THEY SAY!) NEW MOON - Beginning, new beginnings. Starting new projects, closing deals or opening businesses. Predicting Success. WAXING MOON - Phase to gather knowledge and give shape to our plans, hire people, marketing and promotion of products and projects. FULL MOON - Time to reap the results, if you started with a plan, business, project. Good for events Promotions, Negotiations will have to take each other into account to be successful. Phase for personal relationships. Not suitable for general surgeries. WANING MOON - Submissions. good time to resolve outstanding issues and finalize unfinished projects. Start planning a new one. Debt negotiation, where interest will be reduced. Indicated for surgery in general. If you liked it, read more about Greco-Roman Mythology. Well, above is just a small summary of this mystery that is the World of Mythology. (To read + Articles 2020, 2021 Click Article Archive above, Click the month, scroll down, just read!)
