The Master Of Elephants

Discovery Channel - Elephants: The Ultimate Guide Movies

Posted by soicon66 at Sept. 26, 2009

Five tons of boundless strength and wary intelligence, it can toss tree trunks in anger or pick up a five cent piece in curiosity. Our largest land animal - the Elephant - is profiled in this master reference to the world’s greatest living creatures. This majestic animal has few natural enemies, but a beast of such extraordinary size needs some extraordinary features to deal with gravity, the searing rays of the sun, and a king-size appetite. The "Ultimate Guide" shows you how the elephant uses the ultimate nose, its trunk, and other body parts in its quest to stay upright, stay cool, and find a square meal. You'll also see evidence that this intelligent giant may have feelings, and even a sense of humour. Using cutting edge computer animation, journey into the past of the Elephant’s family tree, discover nature’s successes and failures, witness intimate wildlife behaviour and see startling comparison’s of size and speed. Narrated by Will Lyman.

Jalsaghar (1958) Movies

Posted by Someonelse at July 2, 2011

India's greatest director, Bengalese Satyajit Ray was recipient of numerous awards in his career. Typical of the styling of cinema he created, he kept them unceremoniously out of view under his bed, aware of the lavish presentation they would make displayed out in the more public rooms of his Calcutta home. This noble air of subtlety is also apparent in his film-making with Jalsaghar (The Music Room) being a perfect example.
The film's major character is Huzur Biswambhar Roy who is a zemindar (the now ancient concept of an aristocratic landlord). He is shown as a tragic figure who is both a victim of his selfish pride and superfluous belief in his own nobility.
Ray has made a profound and magnificent exploration of one man's obsolescence in a modern developing society in 1920's India.
