this year was “The Treasure of Lemon Brown”. The reason why it was my favorite was because it shows us how something that costs nothing and looks bad could be so valuable to someone and how it means something important to one.

In the story the robber says “Where’s his gold? Where’s his money? Is that not his treasure?” The robbers also…

All the features that characterize Mr. Porumboiu’s directorial approach can be found in his new deadpan comedy, which starts in a curious way, becoming overdetailed…

Most of the characters from the novel remain in the film version but have been altered in some way. The others are simply absent. Jim Hawkins…

Despite the “treasure ships” of China surpassing those of the British and Spanish, the Chinese never became the dominant naval power because the Ming dynasty withdrew support for the treasure ships, building the out of proportion ships were too expensive, lack of involvement in the world market, and the supplies of wood were not enough to satiate the amount needed to build the ships. Thus China was the one being surpassed and did not have what it took to be the ruler of the seas. Compared to…
