“Music has power – especially for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.” (AFA Website 2016). Alzheimer’s disease is an irreversible neurodegenerative condition (that deteriorates significantly over time) of a patient’s memory and daily bodily functions. Since humans are living longer and our older population is increasingly getting larger there are more and more people suffering from Alzheimer’s than ever before. There are currently over 5.4 million Americans suffering…
very influential. I love to listen to his music, because it is so beautiful. He has blues and jazz influences in his music, and I love how he can improvise on stage at any given time. I like to watch his live videos at various festivals he has attended, like Monterey Pop Festival and Woodstock. Jimi is very well known for his ability to manipulate the feedback from his guitar. I would love to learn how to do that, because it sounds so good. This also contributed to the psychedelic sound of his…

Most of the songs used in the movie were instrumental and symphony orchestra like. The composer of the score would be Howard Goodall. The type of performers that are used are an orchestra. The genres of music that are included are mainly instrumental classical like songs. While they are driving to Cannes in the evening, Mr. Bean is listening to radio and Born to be Wild, a rock…
The Harvest Moon Festival is an Asian holiday that celebrates the union of families and friends while observing the full moon and giving thanks for the harvest. The Asian American Student Association and the Vietnamese American Student Association observe this day and created a festival here, at Oklahoma State University. I enjoyed the festival, even though the festival did get a bit disorganized, you could still tell that the organizations and the audience all had a fun time regardless of the…
Exactly. From Shounai the mountain does not seem to be round shaped, but it can be seen a clear round shape from the upcountry. On the other hand, the purpose of the fire festival in on December 31 to January 1st is to burn away the year’s plagues. New year is the point when the power of fire burns down, so people need to fuel the fire for all of the people living in the 33 countries in Haguro territory. Bright sunlight is necessary for a rich harvest. In this way, Mount Haguro represents…
JEAN-JAQUES BEINEIX: Beineix started his career as a assistant director on fifteen adverts before releasing his first feature in 1981 ‘Diva’, which attracted the attention of key post-modernism theorist Frederic Jameson, who identified it as the first French postmodern film. Despite ‘Diva’ becoming a cult film for the youth of the time, the French film critic establishment did not appreciate the superficial aspects of its postmodern aesthetics. It was simply considered an irrational attachment…

I prayed that I would get the help necessary to help fund my idea and turn it into a film, but unfortunately my story got rejected. This screenplay that I worked on day and night, was a story fueled by personal…
