Coco Chanel Gabrielle "Coco" Bonheur Chanel was a French fashion designer and founder of the Chanel brand. She was the only fashion designer to appear on Time Magazine's list of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century. Along with Paul Poiret, Chanel was credited with liberating women from the constraints of the "corseted silhouette" and popularizing the acceptance of a sportive, casual chic as the feminine standard in the post-World War I era. A prolific fashion creator, Chanel’s influence extended beyond couture clothing. Her design aesthetic was realized in jewelry, handbags, and fragrance. Her signature scent, Chanel No. 5 became an iconic product, one irrevocably identified with The House of Chanel. A woman of French peasant stock, convent bred, Chanel adhered to one constant in her life—a determination to rise above her humble origins. Her indefatigable energy and talent in her chosen trade combined ultimately to achieve both the business success and social prominence she had so striven to realize. Her professional life brought her in contact with the upper echelons of society and personages noteworthy in the arts. She herself became an art patron, supplying funds to support individual artists and their work. A contradictory personality, a highly competitive, driven opportunist, Chanel’s ambition led her to form misplaced alliances and enter into questionable associations. Chanel's personal affiliations, particularly during the World War II German occupation of France, have generated controversy around her reputation. "Throughout..her life she would work unremittingly as both craftsman and business woman, imposing her personal conception of the art of dressing upon an ever-increasing clientele."

Alice in Wonderland

Alice is very bored and sleepy while sitting with her older sister outside, until she sees a White Rabbit looking at his watch and talking to himself. She follows the Rabbit down a very deep rabbit hole and ends up far beneath the ground in a hall with a tiny locked door that leads to a beautiful garden. She eats and drinks things that make her change in size, but she is still unable to get through the door into the garden.

When she becomes huge, she cries in frustration and when she shrinks, she is small enough to swim around in a pool made of her own tears. In the pool, she encounters many creatures, including a Mouse. The creatures and Alice manage to get out of the pool and dry off, but Alice is soon left alone.

Alice finds the Rabbit's house and grows huge after drinking a strange liquid. She terrifies the rabbit and his neighbors and grows very small again after fanning herself. Alice then comes across a Caterpillar smoking a hookah. He irritates Alice and asks her to recite poetry, which she cannot do properly. The Caterpillar informs Alice that eating one side of the mushroom he is sitting on will make her larger but eating the other side will make her smaller. Alice is still trying to become the right size to get into the garden.

She comes to a house in the woods, where a Duchess, her ugly baby, her hostile Cook, and her Cheshire Cat reside. The kitchen is full of pepper and dishes which were hurled in anger. Alice tries to save the baby from this environment, but the baby soon turns into a pig, so she is forced to let it go. The Cheshire Cat appears, grins at Alice, and recommends that she visit the Mad Hatter or the March Hare. The Cheshire Cat vanishes and reappears suddenly. Finally, he disappears gradually so only his grin remains.

Alice goes to the March Hare's house, where she finds a tea-party going on. Alice sits down at the table with the Hare, the Hatter, and the Dormouse. She finds them rude and quickly becomes annoyed with them, so she leaves. She decides to go through a door in a tree and again finds herself in the room with the tiny door leading to the garden. This time she manages to get into the garden.

In the garden she comes across three gardeners painting white roses red. They are afraid of being executed by the Queen of Hearts. Suddenly the Queen and her entourage of playing cards appear. The Queen invites Alice to play croquet, and Alice joins a very strange game. She soon learns that the Duchess is to be executed. The Cheshire Cat's head appears above the ground and causes quite a stir.

The Duchess is brought from prison to settle matters and begins talking with Alice about the moral of everything. The Queen then decides Alice should go meet the Mock Turtle; she is escorted by the Gryphon. Alice learns the Mock Turtle's history and sees a dance called the Lobster Quadrille. Alice again tries to recite poetry with little success.

The Gryphon whisks Alice back to court when they hear that the trial is beginning. The Knave of Hearts is on trial for stealing the Queen's tarts. Alice is excited to be in court and to hear the testimony of the Hatter and the Cook. Alice herself is called to testify after she has inexplicably grown larger again. Alice is impertinent and the King orders her to leave the court, but she refuses. She is outraged by the unfairness of the court's proceedings and provokes the Queen to order her execution. Alice tells the court that they're nothing but a pack of cards, and they rise up and attack her.

At this point, Alice realizes that she has been asleep for a long time in her sister's lap. She tells her sister about the events of her marvelous dream and then goes in to tea. Her sister is captivated by the dream and imagines Alice as a grown woman who will still have a child-like sense of wonder.

Vakhtangov and the Theater. Yermolova. And employees musical theater legend another: bad sign is if the gap at the scene and there accidentally hits the heel. So, something the artist holds before going to the public.

Fallen from the hands of the artist text - 

the most common superstitions

  If the actor has dropped out of the hands of the text, it must first get to the text, but only credited to begin to raise its hands supporting text.

Actors with hammers

  There is also a good omen, but for some reason they are associated with nails. Good sign if during a performance artist on the scene found a nail.

  Just more 

Of the mysterious institution than the theater does not exist. Some artists are afraid to play in the plays of Gogol and Bulgakov - is, like the authors of the texts are surrounded by mystery.

Forrest Gump

     Forrest Gump is a 1994 American romantic comedy-drama film based on the 1986 novel of the same name  by Winston Groom. The film was directed by Robert Zemeckis and starred Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Gary Sinise and Sally Field. The story depicts several decades in the life of Forrest Gump, a naïve and slow-witted yet athletically prodigious native of Alabama who witnesses, and in some cases influences, some of the defining events of the latter half of the 20th century; more specifically, the period between Forrest's birth in 1945 and 1982.

Сontent

   On behalf of the main character Forrest Gump, harmless idiot man with a noble and an open heart, tells the story 

of his extraordinary life.

   Fantastically transformed it into a famous footballer, war hero, a successful businessman. He becomes a billionaire, but remains the same guileless, stupid and kind. Forrest expects continued success in everything, and he loves the girl, who was friends with a child, but the reciprocity comes too late.

Why I like this movie?

   The film I liked the fact that it is about the life of absolutely the common manwithout any increases in, the man who lived his life simply looking at the fact that he was not from a rich family and not quite an ordinary child.Film of all human emotions: love, friendship, betrayal, disappointment.

   Watching this film begins to think much of anything.

   This film gives self-confidence, you look and think "if it all so well turned out, it means that you will succeed."

Audrey Hepburn Biography 

  Audrey Hepburn spent most of her youth in England. She moved to the Netherlands where she made her first film, 'Nederland in Lessen' ('Dutch at the Double').
She returned to England after the Second World War to study ballet at Arnhern Conservatory, while also working part-time as a model. Hepburn made her entrance on the London stage in ‘High Button Shoes’ as a member of the chorus and later appeared in the musicals 'Sauce Tartare' and 'Sauce Piquante' at the Cambridge Theatre in London's West End.Hepburn rose through the ranks and was given the leading role in the 1951 Broadway production of ‘Gigi’. Hepburn won a Theatre World Award for her part in the production.Two years later, Hepburn was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar for her performance in ‘Roman Holiday’ (1953), which she starred in opposite Gregory Peck. This performance and nomination made her an international star.The nominations and awards continued and, in 1954, she was nominated again as Best Actress for ‘Sabrina’, co-starring Humphrey Bogart and William Holden, as well as receiving a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Drama for her performance on Broadway in ‘Ondine’.In 1959, for her role in ‘The Nun’s Story’, Hepburn was nominated again for an Oscar, as well as being awarded the New York Film Critics Circle Award and the British Film Academy Award for Best Actress. The film tells the story of Sister Luke, who faces a struggle to overcome her doubts of faith to fulfill her dream of serving in Congo, where she meets love-interest and Atheist Dr Fortunati.
Perhaps Hepburn’s most famous role, as the iconic Holly Golightly in ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ in 1961, gained her yet another Oscar nomination. This film cemented her already considerable reputation as a style icon. Commenting on her role in the film, Hepburn said: "I'm an introvert. Playing the extroverted girl was the hardest thing I ever did."She became a fashion icon after appearing in the film and wearing what is perhaps the most famous little black dress in history. Hepburn also boosted the popularity of the trench coat, with her petite figure illustrating how chic it could be.
She followed this performance with another high, starring in ‘My Fair Lady’ in 1964 as Eliza Doolittle based on George Bernard Shaw’s ‘Pygmalion’. This earned her another Oscar and Golden Globe nomination, as well as being the most lucrative film of her career. Most of the singing was actually dubbed with the voice of Marni Nixon, with Hepburn later saying she would not take on another musical if she could not do the singing. Soundstage magazine wrote in 1964 that not since ‘Gone with the Wind’ has a motion picture created such universal excitement as ‘My Fair Lady’.
As a result of all these nominations, Audrey Hepburn is one of only a very few artists who have won an Oscar, Emmy, Grammy and Tony.Two years later she starred alongside Peter O’Toole in the romantic comedy ‘How to Steal a Million’. It told the tale of Nicole, who was forced to steal a statue from a museum in Paris to draw attention away from her father’s counterfeit art works. The movie took an estimated $6 million (£3.7 million) at the box office.Hepburn’s final role was in the film ‘Always’, directed by Steven Spielberg, in 1989.Hepburn was always a committed devotee to charitable causes, and in 1988 the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) appointed her as their official spokeswoman.She died in January 1993. She was posthumously awarded the Jean Hershot Humanitarian Award for her work with UNICEF.
