ACROSS THE UNIVERSE (Anderson )

Across the Universe


The film begins in Liverpool, 60 years, with Jude decided to go live in the USA. Fact that he hides from his mother is that he wants to actually know his father. In this quest, he meets Max and forms an instant friendship, the two went to live in NYC, where Jude meets Max's sister Lucy and join them also the singer Sadie. So they go through the tumultuous time that was the decade between the deaths of Dr. King, the Vietnam War. But the interest of the film seems to go beyond just storytelling, she rides impressive images. The film would win even more agility; however, she starred in two musical scenes beautiful (even Dear Prudence and I Want to Hold Your Hand). The image of the boy who is hiding behind a car on fire while people die and destroy your back is very striking to the sound of Let It Be. The songs gain new arrangements, but not a single letter has changed. This becomes a problem, in fact, since the film begins to drag and ends up having a longer duration than it should.
Even for those who love the beatles, you feel a little bored with thoughts: "The legal is a musical, but what the story is a mix of teenage romance, religious beliefs with church choirs and Americanized the war, but okay which the story ...” Finally the music is good for teenager.
Overall the musical stirs your imagination and makes numerous references to historical facts of the Beatles' career and 60 years. For fans of the Beatles film mixes drama, comedy and romance.




Joe Anderson - Hey Jude (song)




Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better

Hey Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better

Anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
Well, you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making it a little colder
Na na na na na na na na na

Hey Jude don't let me down

You have found her now go and get her
(Let it out to let it in)
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better better better better better better Whooooooooo

na na na na na na na
na na na na hey Jude
na na na na na na na

QUESTION n8 MOTIVATION (Anderson)




Think of some counter-example, in your experience of traditional education that is positive rewarding in your own school experience. Share them with a partner and analyze their high points and drawbacks.



Pesonally, one good counter example that happened to me, is when I was in high school, my english teacher Mr. Geovanny, gave a very decisive support just when I needed him the most, because I was about to discover my gift toward to english languague. If it wasn´t him to give a very special leading I Wasn´t what I am today.

I don't know if teacher nowadays give this kind of leading to students when they fell that a certain student has some sort of gift in their fiel.

FILM HAIR (Anderson)




HAIR



In the period of military rule, censorship has turned against the world of musical arts, performing arts and intellectuals. That was when I opened the musical Hair, written by James Rado and Gerome Ragni who had the idea together in the middle of a manifestation in Central Park, within three months the music and script for the play would be ready in collaboration with musician Galt MacDermot.
The musical Hair was famous for inciting the free use of drugs, sexual freedom, the hippie culture, nudity, the right to act the way they feel comfortable and to protest against racism and the Vietnam War.
Indeed Hair had not fixed context and the actors, some beginners and other representatives idealistic, always improvised at each performance, but without losing the intention of having the freedom to have their own ideas and follow them, and not forgetting to criticize the values of family, church and the military that invited people to participate in the Vietnam War, thus changing the moral and political thoughts of a society.
After the premiere on Broadway and in numerous productions in Los Angeles, London, Sydney. And in Mexico the government banned the play to be present and the actors threatened with arrest fled the country. But do not stop there, Hair censored in all locations in the USA, its producers have suffered accusations of indecent assault and disrespect the American flag. However, the musical was very successful and has performed 1750 times at the Biltmore Theater, which was where he debuted.
The music was more prominent band Aquarius Fifth Dimension, which won the Grammi the year.
Hair was changed to the cinema in 1979 by director Milos Forman.
In Brazil, the number could be presented, Ademar Guerra, producer, had to go over some obstacles, the question of theatrical entrepreneurs to invest was not believe it was possible to mount the piece with the same structure in Brazil, even was censorship because it contains scenes of nudity in the original format.
But those setbacks Ademar dribbled and got the piece debut in Sao Paulo on stage at the Aquarius Theater, Theater Zaccaro and then in the neighborhood of Bixiga.
Many actors of great success today were part of the cast of this play, Sonia Braga, Neusa Maria, Aracy Balabanian, Antonio Fagundes and Ney Latorraca were among them. Sonia Braga barely participated in the project by the lack of sympathy for Ademar it, but Altair Lima, also an actor, insisted their participation.
The format has a lot of Brazilian people with the scene in which the cast appeared naked. And changed the thoughts and ideas of various communities of people.
Today the image is still shown around the world, the film pleases young people even after so long after the boom of its release and the songs are part of the night ballads today.


Women liberty and sexual freedom and drug use

The brief nude scene at the end of Act I was a subject of controversy and notoriety. Miller writes that "nudity was a big part of the hippie culture, both as a rejection of the sexual repression of their parents and also as a statement about naturalism, spirituality, honesty, openness, and freedom. The naked body was beautiful, something to be celebrated and appreciated, not scorned and hidden. They saw their bodies and their sexuality as gifts, not as 'dirty' things."

Hair glorifies sexual freedom in a variety of ways. In addition to acceptance of miscegenation, mentioned above, the characters' lifestyle acts as a sexually and politically-charged updating of La bohème; as Rado explained, "The love element of the peace movement was palpable." In the song "Sodomy", Woof exhorts everyone to "join the holy orgy Kama Sutra". Toward the end of Act 2, the tribe members reveal their free love tendencies when they banter back and forth about who will sleep with whom that night. As Clive Barnes wrote in his original New York Times review of Hair, "homosexuality is not frowned upon." Woof has a crush on Mick Jagger, and a three-way embrace between Claude, Berger and Sheila turns into a Claude-Berger kiss.

Various illegal drugs are taken by the characters during the course of the show, most notably a hallucinogen during the trip sequence. The song "Walking in Space" starts off the sequence, and the lyrics celebrate the experience declaring "how dare they try to end this beauty ... in this dive we rediscover sensation ... our eyes are open, wide, wide, wide". Similarly, in the song "Donna", Berger sings that "I'm evolving through the drugs that you put down." At another point, Jeanie smokes a marijuana cigarette and says that anyone who thinks "pot" is bad is "full of shit". Generally, the tribe favors hallucinogenic or "mind expanding" drugs, such as LSD and marijuana, while disapproving of other drugs such as speed and depressants. For example, Jeanie, after revealing that she is pregnant by a "speed freak", says that "methedrine is a bad scene". The song "Hashish" provides a list of pharmaceuticals, both illegal and legal, including cocaine, alcohol, LSD, cough syrup, opium and Thorazine, which is used as an antipsychotic.


George Berger -

The leader of the tribe, with high energy. Athletic and wild, he has a strong presence and is looked up to. A social activist and unrestrained animal, he knows what is right and sticks to it no matter the consequence. Says what he thinks without reserve. He also represented all americans citizens that gave their own lives for their people.







"Let the sun shine in ..."



We Starve-look at one another short of breath
Walking proudly in our winter coats
Wearing smells from laboartories

Facing a dying nation of moving paper fantasy
Listening for the new told lies
With supreme visions of lonly tunes

Sining our space songs on a spider web sitarLife is around you and in you

Woodstock Festival



Woodstock

Arnold Skolnick who designed the logo says that the dove on the guitar was actually designed to resemble a catbird (and it was originally perched on a flute).
Location(s) United States
White Lake, New York (site of original festival)

Years active Original festival held in 1969; namesake events held in 1979, 1989, 1994, and 1999.
Founded by Michael Lang, John P. Roberts, Joel Rosenman, Artie Kornfeld
Date(s) scheduled: August 15 – August 17, 1969, but ran over to August 18
Genre Rock and folk, including blues-rock, folk rock, jazz fusion, Hard rock, latin rock, and psychedelic rock styles.
Website The Woodstock Festivals

Woodstock Music & Art Fair (informally, Woodstock or The Woodstock Festival) was a music festival, billed as "An Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music", held at Max Yasgur's 600-acre (2.4 km²; 240 ha, 0.94 mi²) dairy farm near the hamlet of White Lake in the town of Bethel, New York, from August 15 to August 18, 1969. Bethel, in Sullivan County, is 43 miles (69 km) southwest of the town of Woodstock, New York, in adjoining Ulster County.

During the sometimes rainy weekend, thirty-two acts performed outdoors in front of 500,000 concert-goers. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most pivotal moments in popular music history and was listed among Rolling Stone's 50 Moments That Changed the History of Rock and Roll.

The event was captured in the successful 1970 documentary movie Woodstock, an accompanying soundtrack album, and Joni Mitchell's song "Woodstock" which commemorated the event and became a major hit for Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young.



Planning and preparation


Woodstock was initiated through the efforts of Michael Lang, John Roberts, Joel Rosenman, and Artie Kornfeld. It was Roberts and Rosenman who had the finances. They placed the following advertisement in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal under the name of Challenge International, Ltd.: “Young men with unlimited capital looking for interesting, legitimate investment opportunities and business propositions.”

Lang and Kornfeld noticed the ad, and the four men got together originally to discuss a retreat-like recording studio in Woodstock, but the idea evolved into an outdoor music and arts festival, although even that was initially envisioned on a smaller scale, perhaps featuring some of the big name artists who lived in the Woodstock area (such as Bob Dylan and The Band). There were differences in approach among the four: Roberts was disciplined, and knew what was needed in order for the venture to succeed, while the laid-back Lang saw Woodstock as a new, relaxed way of bringing business people together. There were further doubts over the venture, as Roberts wondered whether to consolidate his losses and pull the plug, or to continue pumping his own finances into the project.

In April 1969, newly-minted superstars Creedence Clearwater Revival were the first act to sign a contract for the event, agreeing to play for ten thousand dollars. The promoters had experienced difficulty landing big-name groups prior to the Bay Area swamp rockers committing to play. Creedence drummer Doug Clifford later commented "Once Creedence signed, everyone else jumped in line and all the other big acts came on." Given their 3 a.m. start time and non-inclusion (at Creedence frontman John Fogerty's insistence) in the Woodstock film, Creedence members have expressed bitterness over their experiences at the famed festival.

Woodstock was designed as a profit-making venture, aptly titled "Woodstock Ventures." It famously became a "free concert" only after it became obvious that the event was drawing hundreds of thousands more people than the organizers had prepared for. Tickets for the event cost US$18 in advance (equivalent to approx. US$105 in 2009 after adjusting for purchasing power, and US$75 after adjusting for inflation) and $24 at the gate for all three days. Ticket sales were limited to record stores in the greater New York City area, or by mail via a post office box at the Radio City Station Post Office located in Midtown Manhattan. Around 186,000 tickets were sold beforehand and organizers anticipated approximately 200,000 festival-goers would turn up.

Woodstock Ventures made Warner Bros. an offer to make a movie about Woodstock. All Artie Kornfeld required was $100,000, on the basis that "it could have either sold millions or, if there were riots, be one of the best documentaries ever made," according to Kornfeld

Curiosities


"We were ready to rock out and we waited and waited and finally it was our turn... ...there were a half million people asleep. These people were out. It was sort of like a painting of a Dante scene, just bodies from hell, all intertwined and asleep, covered with mud.

And this is the moment I will never forget as long as I live: a quarter mile away in the darkness, on the other edge of this bowl, there was some guy flicking his Bic, and in the night I hear, "Don't worry about it John. We're with you." I played the rest of the show for that guy."

-(John Fogerty, regarding Creedence Clearwater Revival's 3 a.m. start time at Woodstock).

I can hear the bullfrog callin' me. Wonder if my rope's still hangin' to the tree. Love to kick my feet 'way down the shallow water. Shoefly, dragonfly, get back t'your mother. Pick up a flat rock, skip it across Green River. Welllllll!

Up at Cody's camp I spent my days, oh, With flat car riders and cross-tie walkers . Old Cody, Junior took me over, Said, "You're gonna find the world is smould'rin'. And if you get lost come on home to Green River." Welllllll! Come on home.

Sergio ( Hair)


HAIR
Hair is a rock musical and a product of the hippie counterculture and sexual revolution of the 1960s, several of his songs became anthems of the anti-Vietnam War peace. Desecration of the musical, his description of the use of illegal drugs, its treatment of sexuality, its irreverence for the American flag, and his nude scene caused much comment and controversy. The musical broke new ground in musical theater, defining the genre of "rock music. Since then, several productions have been staged around the world, generating dozens of recordings of the musical.

Claude, his good friend Berger, their roommate Sheila and her friends struggle to balance their young lives, loves and the sexual revolution with his rebellion against the war and their conservative parents and society. Ultimately, Claude must decide whether to resist the proposal as his friends did, or to compromise their pacifist principles and risking his life to serve in Vietnam.

Woodstock
Carlos Alberto Santana Barragán, mais conhecido como Santana (Autlán de Navarro, 20 de julho de 1947), é um conhecido guitarrista e compositor mexicano. Tornou-se famoso na década de 1960 com a banda Santana Blues Band, conhecida posteriormente apenas como Santana - mais precisamente com a sua atuação no Festival de Woodstock em 1969, onde ganhou projeção mundial.

Santana é uma banda americana, formada por músicos que acompanham o guitarrista e compositor mexicano Carlos Santana desde o fim da década de 1960. Como o próprio Santana, a banda é conhecida por ter ajudado a difundir o Latim Rock por todo o mundo.
Santana lançou um álbum auto-intitulado Santana. Na turnê que fizeram para divulgar o álbum (que incluía os sucessos "Jingo" e "Evil Ways"), a banda tocou no Festival de Woodstock. A apresentação aumentou enormemente a popularidade do Santana.
O próprio Santana raramente canta suas canções, apesar de ser o líder da banda; os sucessos mais recentes freqüentemente são cantados por um convidado, e não por algum membro da banda.
Além de ser considerado como um dos maiores guitarristas de todos os tempos, suas parcerias são aclamadas no mundo artístico. Entre os artistas convidados por Santana destacam-se: Steven Tyler (Aerosmith), Kirk Hammet (Metallica), Rob Thomas (Match Box 20), Eric Clapton, Alex Band(The Calling), Shakira, Chad Kroeger (Nickelback), Jennifer Lopez,Michael Jackson entre outros. Desde o início deste tipo de parcerias, Carlos Santana já recebeu 10 prêmios Grammy.
Santana costuma usar guitarras PRS de modelo próprio. Foi aclamado pela revista Rolling Stone como o 15º melhor guitarrista de todos os tempos.
Seus solos não têm a complexidade de um Steve Ray ou o próprio Jimi Hendrix e outros, porém suas misturas de estilos como o jazz, blues, ritmos latinos e o rock. Ele acaba incorporando um novo estilo o feeling.
Santana esteve no Brasil por cinco vezes, 1971, 1973, 1991, 1996 e 2006.
