Tom Cruise

Thomas Cruise Mapother IV (born July 3, 1962), more commonly known as Tom Cruise, is an American actor and film producer. He is tied with Tom Hanks as the only actors to have seven consecutive US$100 million plus blockbusters on his résumé, and Forbes magazine ranked him as the world's most powerful celebrity in 2006.[1] He has been nominated for three Academy Awards and won three Golden Globe Awards.
His first leading role was 1983's Risky Business.[2] After that, he starred in many top films and became a Hollywood celebrity. Cruise is also known for his criticism of psychiatry, and for his support of Scientology,[3] which has attracted controversy and media interest.

Family and early life
Cruise was born in Syracuse, New York,[4] the son of Mary Lee (née Pfeiffer), a special education teacher, and Thomas Cruise Mapother III, an electrical engineer.[5] Cruise has German and Colonial English ancestry from his paternal great-grandparents, William Reibert and Charlotte Louise Voelker; and purportedly Welsh ancestry from his paternal great-great-grandfather, Dylan Henry Mapother, who emigrated from Flint, Wales to Louisville, Kentucky in 1850.[6][7] His great-great-grandmother Mary Cruise married twice. Her first husband was Dillon Henry Mapother, by whom she had six children. She remarried after Dillon's death, to Thomas O'Mara. Their son Thomas O'Mara, enumerated as such in the 1880 Census, was later known as "Thomas Cruise Mapother". The reason(s) for him changing his name are not entirely clear. Thus, from his and his wife Anna Stewart Bateman, he has Irish and Colonial English ancestry, respectively. His maternal ancestry is half Irish and half German (including Alsatian).[8] Anna Stewart Bateman's great-grandfather was a third cousin of President George Washington and descended seven times from King Jean de Brienne of Jerusalem, once from King Louis VIII of France, once from King Henry III of England, twice from King Edward I of England and three times from King Edward III of England.[9][10]
When Cruise was twelve, his mother left his father, taking Cruise and his sister Lee Anne with her.[11] Cities in which Tom lived included Ottawa, Ontario (where he attended Colonel By Secondary School), Louisville, Kentucky, Winnetka, Illinois and Wayne, New Jersey. In all, Cruise attended eight elementary schools and three high schools. He briefly attended a Franciscan seminary in Cincinnati and aspired to become a Catholic priest. He eventually graduated from Glen Ridge High School in New Jersey in 1980.
Cruise has said that he suffered from abuse as a child. He stated that when something went wrong, his father came down hard on him. He told Parade Magazine that his father was "a bully" and "a merchant of chaos." Cruise said he learned early on that his father was - and, by extension, some people were - not to be trusted: "I knew from being around my father that not everyone means me well."[12] Having gone through fifteen schools in twelve years, Cruise, who dropped his father's name at age twelve, was also subject to bullying at school.
Cruise started acting after being sidelined from his high school's wrestling team due to a knee injury. While injured, he successfully auditioned for a lead role in his high school's production of Guys and Dolls and decided to become an actor after his success in the role. His cousin William Mapother is also an actor most known for playing Ethan Rom on Lost.

Chuck Norris

Carlos Ray "Chuck" Norris (born March 10, 1940) is an American martial artist, action star, and Hollywood actor who is known for playing Cordell "Cord" Walker on Walker, Texas Ranger and his iconically tough image.

Biography
Early life
Norris was born in Ryan, Oklahoma, the son of Wilma (Scarberry), who was eighteen when Norris was born, and Ray Norris, a truck and bus driver and mechanic. Norris's paternal grandfather (an immigrant) and maternal grandmother were Irish, while his paternal grandmother and maternal grandfather were Cherokee Native Americans. Norris was named after Carlos Berry, his father's minister.[2] He has two younger brothers, Weiland (deceased) and Aaron (a Hollywood producer). When Norris was sixteen, his parents divorced, he later relocated to Prairie Village, kansas and then Torrance, California with his mother and brothers.[6] Norris describes his childhood as downbeat. He was nonathletic, shy, and scholastically mediocre. Other children taunted him about his mixed ethnicity, and Norris daydreamed about beating up his tormentors. Norris mentioned in his autobiography that his father had a very serious problem with drinking and "wasn't there" a lot for him growing up. Norris admitted that he loved his father but did not like him. However, he professed that he only felt pity for the man because "that was just how he was, and he missed so much."
Norris finished high school and soon married his girlfriend, Diane Holechek. He then joined the United States Air Force as an Air Policeman in 1958 and was sent to Osan Air Base, South Korea. It was in South Korea that Norris acquired the nickname Chuck and began his training in Tang Soo Do (tangsudo), an interest that would lead to black belts in that art and the founding of the Chun Kuk Do ("Universal Way") form. He also created the education associations United Fighting Arts Federation and "KickStart" (formerly "Kick Drugs Out of America"), a middle school and high school–based program intended to give at-risk children a focus point in life through the martial arts. When he returned to the United States of America, he continued to act as an AP at March Air Force Base California. Norris was discharged in August of 1962. He worked for the Northrop Corporation and opened a chain of karate schools, which Chad McQueen, Steve McQueen's son, attended.[6]
Rise to fame
Norris' career in tournament karate began on a losing note. He was defeated in his first two tournaments, dropping decisions to Joe Lewis and Allan Steen and three matches at the International Karate Championships to Tony Tulleners. However, by 1967, Norris began to demonstrate his skill and scored victories over the likes of Joe Lewis, Skipper Mullins, Arnold Urquidez, Victor Moore, Ron Marchini, and Steve Sanders. In early 1968, Norris suffered the fifth and last loss of his career, losing an upset decision to Louis Delgado. However, on November 24, 1968, he avenged his defeat to Delgado and in the process won the Professional Middleweight Karate champion (non-contact) title, which he held for six consecutive years.In 1969, he won Karate's triple crown for the most tournament wins of the year, and the fighter of the year award by Black Belt Magazine. It was also in 1969 that Norris made his acting debut in the Dean Martin movie The Wrecking Crew.
In 1970, his younger brother Weiland was killed in Vietnam. Norris later dedicated his Missing in Action films to his brother's memory. At a martial arts demonstration in Long Beach, Norris met the soon-to-be famous martial artist Bruce Lee whom he respects and considers as superior. In 1972, he acted as Bruce Lee's nemesis in the movie Way of the Dragon (titled Return of the Dragon in its US distribution), which is widely credited with launching his way into stardom. In Asia, he is still known primarily for this role. In 1974, McQueen encouraged him to begin acting classes at MGM. Chuck Norris retired with a karate record of 65–5, having avenged all of his defeats.
Norris' first starring role was 1977's Breaker! Breaker!, and subsequent films such as The Octagon (1980), An Eye for an Eye (1981), and Lone Wolf McQuade proved his increasing box office bankability. In 1984, Norris starred in Missing in Action, the first of a series of POW rescue fantasies produced by Israeli cousins Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus and released under their Cannon Films banner. Also in that year, he was offered the part of the sensei of the Kobra Kai dojo in the movie The Karate Kid, but declined the part. He reportedly did not want to take part in depicting martial artists in an unfavorable light. However, Norris disputes this story.[ On a February 9, 2006 episode of Adam Carolla's radio show, Norris said that he was never offered the role. Norris noted that he was already playing leading roles by the time The Karate Kid was in production.
Over the next four years, Norris became Cannon's most prominent star, appearing in eight films, including Code of Silence, The Delta Force, and Firewalker, in which he co-starred with Academy Award winner Louis Gossett, Jr.. Many of the aforementioned films were produced by Chuck Norris' brother Aaron, as were several episodes of Walker, Texas Ranger. In 1986, he was involved in the production of the Ruby Spears cartoon Karate Kommandos.
Norris made history in 1997 when he was the first Westerner in the documented history of Tae Kwon Do to be given the rank of 8th Degree Black Belt Grand Master. On July 1, 2000 he was presented the Golden Lifetime Achievement Award by the World Karate Union Hall of Fame.
Walker, Texas Ranger
By the close of the 1980s, Cannon Films had faded from prominence, and Norris' star appeal seemed to go with it. He reprised his Delta Force role for MGM, which had acquired the Cannon library after the latter's Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Norris went on to make several more largely ignored films before making a transition to television. In 1993, he began shooting the series Walker, Texas Ranger, which lasted eight years on CBS and continued in heavy syndication on other channels.
On October 17, 2005, CBS premiered the Sunday night "Movie of the Week" Walker, Texas Ranger: Trial by Fire. The production was a continuation of the series, and not scripted to be a reunion movie. Norris reprised his role as Cordell "Cord" Walker for the movie. He has stated that future Walker, Texas Ranger "Movie of the Week" projects are expected, however, this was severely impaired by CBS' 20062007 season decision to no longer regularly schedule MOWs on Sunday night.
Personal life

In 1963, his first child with Holechek, a son named Mike, was born. A daughter, Dina, was born in 1964, and a second son, Eric, followed in 1965. After 30 years of marriage, Norris and Holechek divorced in 1988. He married again in 1998, this time to former model Gena O'Kelley, and she delivered twins in 2001: Dakota Alan Norris, a boy, and Danilee Kelly Norris, a girl. Norris has always been a very loving family man; it was noted in People that his adult sons still hug and kiss him goodbye. "It's great my boys aren't afraid to show love," Norris said, "nothing can buy that". Norris's son, Mike, said of his father: "Dad never had a lot of love growing up, but he has given me and my brother all that he should have had in multiples". Both of Norris's sons are married and he has 6 grandchildren including American actress Gabby Di Ciolli.
Currently, Norris lives in north Dallas and owns a ranch between Navasota, Texas and Anderson, Texas. He also has a small residence in Los Angeles for when he does films or television shows. He works for KickStart, which is located in Dallas and Houston.
Now an outspoken Christian, Norris is the author of several Christian books, such as The Justice Riders. He has also been in a few TV commercials promoting Bible study and prayer in public schools, in addition to efforts to reduce drug use. In 2006, he began penning a column for the conservative news website WorldNetDaily. In his columns, he has expressed belief in Biblical creationism, those who are troubled should turn to Jesus, and is quoted as saying "true patriots" do not stay clear of discussing religion and politics.Norris serves on the board of directors of the NCBCPS, an organization promoting the use of the Bible in public schools, and also speaks on behalf of organizations advocating prayer in public schools.
Political views

Norris is a political conservative, often championing values shared by the Republican Party. Norris has donated over $32,000 to Republican candidates and organizations since 1988. On January 26, 2007 Norris filled in for Sean Hannity as a co-host on the popular Fox News Channel debate program Hannity & Colmes alongside Alan Colmes. On October 22, 2007, Norris announced his endorsement of Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee for President.[ Norris said "I believe the only one who has all of the characteristics to lead America forward into the future is ex-Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee."Chun Kuk Do

Chuck Norris in 1976.
Norris created the martial art Chun Kuk Do, which is based primarily on Tang Soo Do and includes elements from every combat style he knows. Like many other martial arts Chun Kuk Do includes a code of honor and rules to live by. These rules are from Chuck Norris' personal code. They are:
I will develop myself to the maximum of my potential in all ways.
I will forget the mistakes of the past and press on to greater achievements.
I will continually work at developing love, happiness and loyalty in my family.
I will look for the good in all people and make them feel worthwhile.
If I have nothing good to say about a person, I will say nothing.
I will always be as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.
I will maintain an attitude of open-mindedness.
I will maintain respect for those in authority and demonstrate this respect at all times.
I will always remain loyal to God, my country, family and my friends.
I will remain highly goal-oriented throughout my life because that positive attitude helps my family, my country, and myself.
Norris in popular culture
On September 22, 2004 Norris told Entertainment Tonight's Mary Hart that his daughter Dina, born in 1964 was the result of an extra-marital affair. He did not meet her until she was 26 although she learned that he was her father at the age of 16. She sent him a letter to his home informing him that she was his daughter, after meeting her he acknowledged that he knew she was his upon seeing her.In 2004, Late Night with Conan O'Brien began a recurring sketch in which O'Brien would pull a Walker Texas Ranger Lever next to his desk, which would cause a brief, out-of-context clip from Walker: Texas Ranger to play. This became one of the more popular segments on O'Brien's show and led to a guest appearance by Norris himself, who pulled his own "Conan O'Brien Lever" to play a clip of Norris beating up O'Brien. This segment has been credited as jump-starting the Norris craze and leading to enough interest to produce a Walker, Texas Ranger TV movie.
In late 2005, Norris became the object of an internet phenomenon known as Chuck Norris Facts, which document fictional, often absurdly heroic feats and characteristics about Norris himself. The phenomenon originally started in the "Vin Diesel Fact Generator", and Chuck Norris Facts were created as a byproduct, often using the same facts featured in the Vin Diesel Fact Generator. In time, Chuck Norris Facts became wildly popular, even more so than the original Vin Diesel Fact Generator. Norris has written his own response to the parody on his website, stating that he does not feel offended by them, and finds some of them funny.[16] He made an appearance on The Best Damn Sports Show, Period, where he commented on 10 of them, with his favorite being: "They once tried to carve Chuck Norris' face into Mount Rushmore, but the granite wasn't hard enough for his beard." In the parody song "The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny" the following cast is assembled to ultimately defeat Chuck Norris in battle after he defeats Indiana Jones and kills Batman: "Gandalf the Grey, Gandalf the White, Monty Python and the Holy Grail's Black Knight, Benito Mussolini, The Blue Meanie, Cowboy Curtis, Jambi the Genie, Robocop, the Terminator, Captain Kirk, Darth Vader, Lo Pan, Superman, every single Power Ranger, Bill S. Preston and Theodore Logan, Spock, The Rock, Doc Ock, and Hulk Hogan".[
Norris rode out in a convertible on The Price is Right $1,000,000 Spectacular in 2003 to wish Bob Barker a happy 80th birthday. He also helped a contestant win the convertible playing the Lucky $even game. Norris had instructed Bob Barker in karate for years.
During the March 10, 2006 show of ESPN's Pardon the Interruption, numerous references were made to Norris on his birthday, including all of the cut-out heads on the set, which are usually of current sports stars, being replaced with Chuck Norris heads. Also, several humorous comments in reference to Chuck Norris were made by co-host, Tony Kornheiser, in a similar tone to that featured on the Chuck Norris Facts website.
Norris served as a guest referee at the World Wrestling Federation's Survivor Series 1994 for the casket match between The Undertaker and Yokozuna. A similar match took place at the Royal Rumble 1994 where ten other wrestlers beat down The Undertaker. Norris was called upon to ensure a similar situation didn't take place. As guest referee, he kicked Jeff Jarrett in the stomach.
Norris starred in his own Atari 2600 videogame, Chuck Norris Superkicks.[19] Norris also appears in Maddox (real name George Ouzounian)'s book: Alphabet of Manliness under the letter N; where he is described as "the greatest American ever to live". In the video game magazine Nintendo Power, Volume 203's Pulse section featured many references to Chuck Norris. He has since become a regular reference, along with Mr. T.
Norris has a regular column on WorldNetDaily, sharing his 'musings about faith, family, freedom, country, loyalty – maybe even kickboxing.'

Estrada de Ferro Central do Brasil - Tarsila do Amaral

Obra escolhida para a realização do trabalho do abajur

EFCB (Estrada de Ferro Central do Brasil) é do mesmo ano da viagem da artista ao Rio e a Minas com o poeta suíço-francês Blaise Cendrars e outros modernistas. Evoca fortemente Léger com sua composição estruturada a partir de signos urbanos modernos: postes, pontes, sinalizações ferroviárias. A geometrização de elementos é bem evidente, assim como a simplificação das formas, o que seria uma constante em suas composições, elevando muito a linha do horizonte e dispondo ordenadamente os diversos elementos de alto à baixo. Todavia, a esta aparente racionalização do tema se contrapõe a cor "caipira" e lisa da fase pau-brasil, identificada com o nativismo modernista, sempre luminosa e sem sombras. O MAC possui também em sua coleção, além de alguns desenhos, A Negra, de 1923, antecipadora da fase "antropofágica" (1928), assim como a mágica Floresta (1929), e ainda Costureiras, óleo iniciado em meados dos anos 30 em plena fase de preocupação social da artista, retomado e finalizado em 1950.

Tarsila do Amaral
Tarsila do Amaral (Capivari SP 1886 - São Paulo SP 1973). Pintora e desenhista. Faz escultura com William Zadig (1884-1952) e Mantovani em 1916 na capital paulista. No ano seguinte estuda pintura e desenho com Pedro Alexandrino (1856-1942). Tem aulas com o pintor Georg Elpons (1865-1939). Viaja em 1920 para Paris, estuda na Académie Julien e com Emile Renard (1850-1930). Em 1922, em São Paulo, forma o Grupo dos Cinco, com Anita Malfatti (1889-1964), Mário de Andrade (1893-1945), Menotti del Picchia (1892-1988) e Oswald de Andrade (1890-1954). Em 1923, em Paris, estuda com André Lhote (1885-1962), Fernand Léger (1881-1955) e Albert Gleizes (1881-1953). No ano seguinte acompanha o poeta Blaise Cendrars (1887-1961), com Oswald de Andrade, Olívia Penteado, Mário de Andrade e outros, em viagem às cidades históricas de Minas Gerais. Realiza uma série de trabalhos baseados em esboços feitos durante a viagem. Nesse período, inicia a chamada fase pau-brasil. Em 1925 ilustra o livro de poemas Pau-Brasil, de Oswald de Andrade, publicado em Paris. Em 1928, pinta Abaporu, tela que inspira o movimento antropofágico, desencadeado por Oswald de Andrade e Raul Bopp (1898-1984). Em 1933, após viagem à União Soviética, inicia uma fase voltada para temas sociais com as obras Operários e 2ª Classe. Em 1936 colabora no Diário de S. Paulo. Entre 1940 e 1944 cria ilustrações para a série Os Mestres do Pensamento, dirigida por José Perez. Realiza, em 1945, uma série de gravuras para o livro Poesias Reunidas de O. Andrade, a pedido do autor. A convite da Comissão do 4º Centenário de São Paulo, faz em 1954 o painel Procissão do Santíssimo.
O Modernismo no Brasil
A Semana de Arte Moderna (1922) é considerada o marco inicial do Modernismo brasileiro. A Semana ocorreu entre 13 e 18 de fevereiro de 1922, no Teatro Municipal de São Paulo, com participação de artistas de São Paulo e do Rio de Janeiro. O evento contou com apresentação de conferências, leitura de poemas, dança e música. O Grupo dos Cinco, integrado pelas pintoras Tarsila do Amaral e Anita Malfatti e pelos escritores Mário de Andrade, Oswald de Andrade e Menotti Del Picchia, liderou o movimento que contou com a participação de dezenas de intelectuais e artistas, como Manuel Bandeira, Di Cavalcanti, Graça Aranha, Guilherme de Almeida, entre muitos outros.Os modernistas ridicularizavam o parnasianismo, movimento artístico em voga na época que cultivava uma poesia formal. Propunham uma renovação radical na linguagem e nos formatos, marcando a ruptura definitiva com a arte tradicional. Cansados da mesmice na arte brasileira e empolgados com inovações que conheceram em suas viagens à Europa, os artistas romperam as regras preestabelecidas na cultura. Na Semana de Arte Moderna foram apresentados quadros, obras literárias e recitais inspirados em técnicas da vanguarda européia, como o dadaísmo, o futurismo, o expressionismo e o surrealismo, misturados a temas brasileiros. Os participantes da Semana de 1922 causaram enorme polêmica na época. Sua influência sobre as artes atravessou todo o século XX e pode ser entendida até hoje.
A primeira fase do Modernismo: O movimento modernista no Brasil contou com duas fases: a primeira foi de 1922 a 1930 e a segunda de 1930 a 1945. a primeira fase caracterizou-se pelas tentativas de solidificação do movimento renovador e pela divulgação de obras e idéias modernistas. Os escritores de maior destaque dessa fase defendiam estas propostas: reconstrução da cultura brasileira sobre bases nacionais; promoção de uma revisão crítica de nosso passado histórico e de nossas tradições culturais; eliminação definitiva do nosso complexo de colonizados, apegados a valores estrangeiros. Portanto, todas elas estão relacionadas com a visão nacionalista, porém crítica, da realidade brasileira. Várias obras, grupos, movimentos, revistas e manifestos ganharam o cenário intelectual brasileiro, numa investigação profunda e por vezes radical de novos conteúdos e de novas formas de expressão. Entre os fatos mais importantes, destacam-se a publicação da revista Klaxon, lançada para dar continuidade ao processo de divulgação das idéias modernistas, e o lançamento de quatro movimentos culturais: o Pau-Brasil, o Verde-Amarelismo, a Antropofagia e a Anta. Esses movimentos representavam duas tendências ideológicas distintas, duas formas diferentes de expressar o nacionalismo. O movimento Pau-Brasil defendia a criação de uma poesia primitivista, construída com base na revisão crítica de nosso passado histórico e cultural e na aceitação e valorização das riquezas e contrastes da realidade e da cultura brasileiras. A Antropofagia, a exemplo dos rituais antropofágicos dos índios brasileiros, nos quais eles devoram seus inimigos para lhes extrair força, Oswald propõe a devoração simbólica da cultura do colonizador europeu, sem com isso perder nossa identidade cultural. Em oposição a essas tendências, os movimentos Verde-Amarelismo e Anta, defendiam um nacionalismo ufanista, com evidente inclinação para o nazifascismo. Dentre os muitos escritores que fizeram parte da primeira geração do Modernismo destacamos Oswald de Andrade, Mário de Andrade, Manuel Bandeira, Alcântara Machado, Menotti del Picchia, Raul Bopp, Ronald de Carvalho e Guilherme de Almeida.

Birth Name: Orlando Jonathan Blanchard Bloom
Nickname:Orli, OB
Height: 5' 11" (1.80 m)

MINI BIOGRAPHY

Orlando Bloom was born in Canterbury, Kent, England on January 13, 1977. The man he briefly knew as his father, Harry Bloom, was a legendary political activist who fought for civil rights in South Africa. But Harry died of a stroke when Orlando was only four years old. After that, Orlando and his older sister, Samantha Bloom, were raised by their mother, Sonia, and family friend, Colin Stone. When Orlando was 13, Sonia revealed to him that Colin was actually his biological father.Orlando attended St. Edmunds School in Canterbury but struggled in many courses because of dyslexia. He did embrace the arts, however, and enjoyed pottery, photography and sculpturing. He also participated in school plays and was active at his local theater. As a teen, Orlando landed his first job: he was a clay trapper at a pigeon shooting range. Encouraged by his mother, he and his sister began studying poetry and prose, eventually giving readings at Kent Festival. Orlando and Samantha won many poetry and Bible reciting competitions. Then Orlando, who always idolized larger-than-life characters, gravitated towards serious acting. At the age of 16, he moved to London and joined the National Youth Theatre, spending two seasons there and gaining a scholarship to train with the British American Drama Academy. Like many young actors, he also auditioned for a number of television roles to further his career, landing bit parts in British television shows "Casualty" (1986), "Midsomer Murders" (1997) and "Smack the Pony" (1999). He also appeared in the critically acclaimed movie Wilde (1997).He then attended the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. It was there, in 1998, that Orlando fell three stories from a rooftop terrace and broke his back. Despite fears that he would be permanently paralyzed, he quickly recovered and returned to the stage. As fate would have it, seated in the audience one night in 1999 was a director named Peter Jackson. After the show, he met with Orlando and asked him to audition for his new set of movies. After graduating from Guildhall, Orlando began work on the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, spending 18 months in New Zealand bringing to life "Legolas", a part which made him a household name. Today, he is one of the busiest and most sought-after actors in the industry.

PERSONAL QUOTES

On his character Legolas and the way Legolas moves: "Legolas doesn't speak a lot - he prefers to let his actions speak for him. Legolas' moves are smooth and elegant, like a cat. You know how cats can jump and land steadily on their paws? That's what I'm trying to do. There's a strength in that, but it's very balletic. It's also bloody hard to do without falling over!"
"It's all very surreal. I've had two very fantastic experiences. In Lord of the Rings and in Black Hawk Down. I feel very lucky. I'm sort of doubly excited."
"I'm rather accident-prone, I have to admit. I've broken my back, my ribs, my nose, both my legs, my arm, my wrist, a finger and a toe and cracked my skull three times."
On how he got the part in Black Hawk Down (2001): "My character breaks his back, and I had mentioned I had done that when I was up for the part. Who knows why one actor gets a job and another doesn't? I think it was just good timing that I happened to be there and I had had the experience - I mean, I was lucky."
"I broke my back. I fell out of a window... some friends had a roof terrace on the landing before their apartment, and I fell off the drain pipe. It gave way, actually, and I fell three floors. I was told I might not walk again. So, for about four days,I was contemplating that as a serious part of reality. Then they operated, and I walked out of the hospital in about twelve days."
"Vig used to call me 'elf boy,' and I'd call him 'filthy human.' As an Elf, I never got a scratch on me, never got dirty. And Vig would come out with blood and sweat all over him. And he'd say to me, 'Oh, go manicure your nails.'"
On his 2002 Empire Award: "I think my mum will have [my award] in pride of place somewhere beside my grandmother on the mantelpiece."
"We have these digs at each other. Viggo will go on about Elves and how they're always doing their nails and brushing their long, blonde hair, and being all prissy. And I just say: Well, at least I'm going to live forever! Got that? LIVE FOREVER!"
"You have to be quite serious about tattoos [because] they're there forever."
"For a young actor like me to have the oportunity to work with the genre of actors and directors on 'Lord Of The Rings' is unbelievable. There was no, should I should I not. It was like, where do I sign up! It was just bonkers. It was like here, have a life."
"It's a bit strange to be included in those sexiest people polls and all that sort of thing. I don't really even know who I'm up against!"
"Elf Envy...they all had it."
"Aged nine, I had this girlfriend, and we used to have running races in the park to see who would be her boyfriend for the day. I wanted to be like Superman and fly in and rescue her. Once I realised Superman was an actor, I thought, 'That's for me.'"
On being in love in general: "I'm in love with love. It's heavenly when you're falling for someone and you can't stop thinking about her."
"The girls have got a bit excited. I spoke to my agent and she says she's wading through the fan mail. We've got bags of it. I'm like, 'OK, well, what do we do with that, then?' And she explains that we're sending them pictures and stuff, which is great."
"It was like a drama school of its own, being on set. Peter [Jackson] is a genius. Ian McKellen is the greatest theatre actor in Britain. He's somebody I look at and say, 'That's what I would like to do.' I had studied videos of his performances, so it was bizarre to be thrown into an environment with him."
"The thing with Ridley [Scott] is he's been doing this forever, he knows what it is he wants and how to get it. There's absolutely no messing around on set. Having said that, he's very accessible to actors, very open to what you want to do and willing to talk about it. He casts people who he feels are going to bring something to the role and allows them to take care of the situation, to do what it is that they do."
"I'm quite sensitive to women. I saw how my sister got treated by boyfriends. I read this thing that said when you are in a relationship with a woman, imagine how you would feel if you were her father. That's been my approach, for the most part."
"Theatre is something that I feel very important for an actor to keep doing. I think it keeps you sharp. But at the moment I'm intrigued with movies and filmmaking. It hasn't lured me away from theatre, but I'm just going to try to ride this wave and then jump onto another and see how far it takes me."
"I did send a girl a plane ticket, asking her for a visit, I guess that's quite romantic."
"I'd like to grow old gracefully or pain free at least."
[Talking about his relationship with Kate Bosworth]: "There's been a lot of heat because we decided to take some time out. But we're really close. It's unfortunate everything has to be for public display. It's hard when you travel. It makes relationships a challenge. I've always kept everything close to the vest, and that's how I intend to play everything. We've both got a big year ahead, and we thought, just for this year, we'd give each other some time to grow."
"I know how lucky I am. I've no complaints about the work."
"Fame and celebrity were not something that I contemplated because they were too far ahead to imagine."
"When I'm not working, I prefer to sit and do nothing. The simple things suddenly become more enjoyable".
"If life isn't about humanity, then tell me what it's about, because I'd love to know".
"It's the best gig in the world, are you kidding me?" [on Pirates of the Carribean]
"I always feel like a pirate."

ANITA MALFATTI



Anita Catarina Malfatti (São Paulo, 2 de dezembro de 1889São Paulo, 6 de novembro de 1964) foi uma pintora brasileira.
Filha de mãe
norte-americana e pai italiano, foi a primeira artista brasileira a aderir ao Modernismo, tendo sido uma das expositoras da mostra, realizada no Teatro Municipal de São Paulo, que fazia parte da Semana de Arte Moderna de 1922.
Malfatti foi à
Alemanha em 1910. Lá ela conheceu o início do movimento modernista. Viajou aos Estados Unidos em 1915, logo após o Armory Show — uma exposição modernista que foi escandalosa e extremamente influente que mudou a arte nos Estados Unidos. Ela estudou na Independent School of Art em Nova Iorque (onde teve contato com o expressionismo) até 1916, quando voltou ao Brasil.
Em
1917 ela mostrou seu trabalho em uma exposição própria. A exposição foi revolucionária por várias razões. O cenário da arte estava limitado em São Paulo, e uma exposição própria de uma artista tão jovem era algo inédito. Para uma artista, isto foi revolucionário, e o local da exposição era precário. No entanto, as pinturas eram surpreendentemente modernas para uma cidade que nunca havia tido contato com esta arte, e causou uma enorme desaprovação, não só pelas inovações da pintura, mas por serem retratos de imigrantes e outras figuras marginalizadas. Para outros jovens artistas, foi uma experiência transformadora. Em particular, Malfatti criou uma amizade com Mário de Andrade, que iria durar por décadas e seria profissionalmente crucial para eles.
Com Andrade, Malfatti participou da Semana da Arte Moderna, em 1922. Ela era membro do
Grupo dos Cinco, formado também por Mário de Andrade, Oswald de Andrade, Menotti del Picchia e a pintora Tarsila do Amaral. Ela se beneficiou da coesão do grupo (durou até 1929 quando seus membros já haviam se estabilizado). Depois de 1922, seu lugar na história da arte brasileira foi, embora controverso, mais claramente entendido. Na década de 1960 era considerada uma das maiores figuras da arte brasileira e uma das mulheres mais influentes na América do Sul.
Na minissérie
Um Só Coração (2004), da Rede Globo, Anita Malfatti, foi representada pela atriz Betty Gofman.

O FAROL

Escolhemos essa obra porque ela retrata exatamente a mensagem que nós queriamos passar em nosso trabalho. O farol nos dá uma idéia de uma luz, de um guia, de um caminho a ser seguido, que é exatamente o que teremos que fazer em nossas vidas daqui em diante. Quisemos mostrar em nossa obra uma luz para o nosso caminho, e um caminho que só será encontrado se nos dispormos a olhar para essa luz.
O trabalho foi fácil de fazer, e só levamos dois dias para terminá-lo. Usamos um tubo e uma caixinha de papelão, madeira, sulfite, tinta, verniz, etc. Conseguimos fazer exatamente o que esperávamos, ficou lindo, e todo o grupo gostou. Ao olhar para ele entendemos que aquele trabalho reflete as decisões e escolhas que todos tem que tomar, e que através da escola, do interesse, da força de vontade, do conhecimento, alcançaremos tudo o que esperamos da vida!

O MODERNISMO


INTRODUÇÃO

O modernismo é uma corrente artística que surgiu na última década do século XIX, como resposta às conseqüências da industrialização, revalorizando a arte e sua forma de realização: manual. O nome deste movimento deve-se à loja que o alemão Samuel Bing abriu em Paris no ano de 1895: Art Nouveau. No resto da Europa difundiram-se diferentes traduções: Modernismo, na Espanha; Jugendstil, na Alemanha; Secessão, na Áustria; e Modern Style, na Inglaterra e Escócia.Com características próprias em cada um desses países, foram as primeiras exposições internacionais organizadas nas capitais européias que contribuíram para forjar uma certa homogeneidade estilística. A arquitetura foi a disciplina integral à qual se subordinaram as outras artes gráficas e figurativas. Reafirmou-se o aspecto decorativo dos objetos de uso cotidiano, mediante uma linguagem artística repleta de curvas e arabescos, de acentuada influência oriental.
Contrariamente à sua intenção inicial, o modernismo conseguiu a adesão da alta burguesia, que apoiava entusiasticamente essa nova estética de materiais exóticos e formas delicadas. O objetivo dos novos desenhos reduziu-se meramente ao decorativo, e seus temas, como que surgidos de antigas lendas, não tinham nada em comum com as propostas vanguardistas do início do século. O modernismo não teria sido possível sem a subvenção de seus ricos mecenas.Entre os precursores da arte modernista estava William Morris. Seus desenhos, elaborados com espírito artesanal, se contrapunham à produção industrial. Nos escritórios da empresa criada por ele, a Morris & Co. eram determinadas as formas elegantes e sinuosas, típicas do modernismo, bem como definidos os materiais nobres usados na criação de objetos de uso cotidiano. Sua apresentação na exposição de Bruxelas de 1892 produziu um grande impacto e determinou a difusão desse novo estilo.

PINTURA

A pintura modernista misturou as delicadas e elegantes formas do gótico com o simbolismo romântico de dois grupos importantes da Europa do século XIX: os pré-rafaelistas ingleses Millais, Rossetti, Hunt e Brown e os nazarenos alemães Overbeck, Pforr e Cornelius. O resultado foi uma pintura de um erotismo e uma naturalidade surpreendentes. A idealização da mulher manifestou-se em figuras meio ninfas e meio anjos; corpos etéreos e pele translúcida.
A natureza assumiu a forma de bosques aquáticos, com plantas de ramos ondulados e longos, mimetizados com os arabescos dourados e os frisos decorativos. Entre os representantes mais significativos da pintura do movimento art-nouveau destacou-se Gustav Klimt, cuja obra inicialmente produziu grande agitação nas exposições da secessão austríaca. No entanto, seu ousado erotismo transformou-se em pouco tempo no paradigma indiscutível da pintura modernista.
Deve-se mencionar também o alemão Frans von Stuck, que se aproxima da estética klimtiana, ainda que com temas resgatados das telas do inglês Alma-Tadema, outro importante precursor da pintura modernista. Suas obras retomaram os temas do classicismo antigo, com uma nova expressividade, à beira do romantismo. No resto da Europa encontramos os espanhóis Casella, Rusiñol e Casa, embora sua obra reflita um forte espírito antiacademicista na direção do impressionismo parisiense.

ARQUITETURA

A arquitetura modernista se caracterizou pela estrita coerência entre as formas sinuosas das fachadas e a ondulante decoração dos interiores. Adotou-se a chamada construção honesta, que permitia vislumbrar vigas e estruturas de ferro combinadas com cristal. Dentro da arquitetura modernista existiram duas tendências: as formas sinuosas e orgânicas, de um lado, e as geométricas e abstratas, precursoras da futura arquitetura racionalista, de outro.
Em Barcelona, o arquiteto Gaudí revolucionou a arquitetura com uma obra totalmente simbolista e natural, constituindo por si só um estilo. Na França e na Bélgica, os elegantes edifícios de ferro, cristal e mosaicos de Guimard e Horta criavam espaços de uma força lúdica irresistível, embora mais prosaicos que os catalães. Os americanos, enquanto isso, inauguravam o século XX com os primeiros arranha-céus do arquiteto Sullivan e seu discípulo Frank Lloyd Wright.Viena representou quase com exclusividade a corrente mais racionalista do modernismo. Os arquitetos Wagner e Olbrich retiraram suas formas do rigoroso gótico inglês e do inovador e visionário arquiteto escocês Mackintosh. Dessa forma, conseguiram uma construção volumétrica, de formas retangulares, com uma ornamentação bem dosada, embora sem chegar ao extremo de seu contemporâneo Loos, que considerava a decoração uma aberração arquitetônica.

ESCULTURA

A escultura modernista permaneceu estreitamente ligada à arquitetura e teve, antes de tudo, uma função decorativa. A criação tridimensional foi representada, melhor ainda do que pela escultura, pelos objetos de uso diário, produzidos com materiais nobres, com um desenho que os elevava à categoria de obras de arte. O modernismo implicou uma revalorização do artesão e, por conseguinte, dos produtos feitos à mão, em oposição aos industrializados.
Formaram-se ateliês de artesãos, como a Arts & Crafts, de Londres, na qual se fabricavam móveis caros e raros, ou a Escola de Nancy, onde se produzia o mobiliário do desenhista Gallé e a já então prestigiada cristaleria e joalheria de René Lalique. Em Viena, destacaram-se as criações de baixelas de ouro e prata da Wiener Werkstätte, de Hoffmann, e na Espanha a refinada joalheria dos Masriera. Na América alcançaram sucesso os desenhos em cristal da Comfort Tiffany.
Outra das grandes criações da corrente modernista foi a arte gráfica publicitária, que se iniciou com os cartazes. Coloridos e artísticos, cobriam os muros das cidades, tentando convencer os cidadãos da qualidade de determinados produtos ou da grandeza de certos espetáculos - de exposições a apresentações de teatro e circo. O primeiro grande artista a se dedicar ao desenho de cartazes foi Toulouse-Lautrec, seguido dos mais importantes pintores da época.
Muito em breve seriam criados os escritórios de publicidade, semelhantes às atuais agências. Usava-se um grafismo simples, mas elegante, sendo ao mesmo tempo atraente, de acordo com os padrões estéticos da época. O cartaz modernista guardava, no desenho, certas semelhanças com os quadros de Klimt ou com a ornamentação arquitetônica de Gaudí. Entre os cartazistas mais importantes, Casas, na Espanha, Von Stuck, na Alemanha, Auchentaler, em Viena, e Mucha, na França.

Brad Pitt








William Bradley "Brad" Pitt (Shawnee, Oklahoma, 18 de Dezembro de 1963) é um ator estadunidense.

Cresceu em Springfield, no Missouri, o mais velho dos três filhos de William A. Pitt e Jane Etta Hillhouse, no seio de uma família baptista devota. Brad (nascido William Bradley Pitt) abandonou a Universidade do Missouri pouco antes de completar a sua graduação em jornalismo para seguir uma carreira como ator estadunidense. Namorou Julia Ormond, Juliette Lewis, que conheceu durante as filmagens de Too young to die?(Dias de violência), e com quem posteriormente repetiu a parceria em Kalifornia bem como Gwyneth Paltrow com quem contracenou em Seven (1995) e com quem começaria uma relação que acabaria em 1997, apesar de a essa altura os dois atores estarem já noivos e serem a grande sensação de Hollywood. No Verão do ano seguinte, Brad começou a ser visto com a atriz Jennifer Aniston conhecida pelo seriado Friends, na qual interpretava Rachel. O romance começou e, em 29 de Julho de 2000, o casal se casou, tornando-se um dos pares preferidos de Hollywood. Mas o casamento começou a enfrentar graves problemas, e em 7 de Janeiro de 2005 foi anunciada a separação.
A esta altura começou a relacionar com a atriz Angelina Jolie, com quem dividiu a cena em Mr. & Mrs. Smith, um filme de ação com toques de comédia, no qual interpretam dois assassinos de aluguel casados, mas que desconhecem a identidade profissional um do outro. Enquanto os dois negavam qualquer envolvimento, começaram a serem fotografados juntos e a voar à volta do mundo em missões humanitárias, juntamente com o filho adotivo da atriz (Maddox Chivan Jolie).Brad Pitt acompanhou-a à Etiópia, em Julho de 2005 para adotar a sua filha Zahara que vivia num orfanato. No final de 2005, Brad e Angelina visitaram por duas vezes o Paquistão como embaixadores das Nações Unidas para ajudar as vítimas de um terremoto. Era evidente a aproximação de ambos, principalmente quando começou o período de divulgação do filme.
Em 2 de Dezembro de 2005 foi anunciado que Brad tinha iniciado o processo legal de adoção dos dois filhos adotivos de Angelina, o filho Maddox Chivan Jolie(nascido em 2002, no Camboja) e a filha Zahara Marley Jolie, tendo requerido também a mudança dos sobrenome destes para Jolie-Pitt. Pouco mais de um mês depois, em 19 de Janeiro de 2006, um juíz de Santa Mónica, na Califórnia, aprovou este pedido. Em 27 de Maio de 2006, Angelina Jolie deu à luz, na Namíbia, o primeiro filho biológico do casal, uma menina a quem chamaram Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt. Após o nascimento de Shiloh,já em 2007, Brad Pitt e Angelina Jolie adotaram um menino de 3 anos no Vietnã, chamado Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt.

Filhos
Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt (Kendal, Camboja, 5 de Agosto de 2001), adotado no Camboja a 10 de Março de 2002.
Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt, (Ho Chi Minh, Vietnã, 29 de Novembro de 2003), adotado no Vietnã dia 15 de Março de 2007
Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt (Awassa, Etiópia, 8 de Janeiro de 2005), adotada na Etiópia dia 6 de Julho de 2005.
