  Art Truth and Time - Essays in Art

  • 0

  Art, Truth and Time is a book which endeavours to show that artistic creation depends as much upon the body, as it does the soul, and the soul's intelligent use of the body's way of understanding. When there occurs a complete disjunction between the two, as occurs in much of contemporary art, art is stripped of its inherent beauty, its wholeness. In this book the author considers the nature of art from its earliest manifestations to the present day, endeavouring to show that its truth transcends time and place through the unity of soul and body and man's awareness of this unity, not a barren unity, but a unity which is profoundly creative.

  DIE HARD 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY JOHN MCTIERNAN 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  "Die Hard" is a 1988 action thriller directed by John McTiernan, centered on New York cop John McClane, who is visiting his estranged wife in Los Angeles. While attending her company’s Christmas party at the Nakatomi Plaza, the building is seized by a group of terrorists led by Hans Gruber. McClane becomes the only hope for the hostages as he uses his wit and resourcefulness to fight back against the heavily armed group. The film explores themes of heroism, isolation, and resilience, with a mix of suspense, action, and moments of dark humor, making it a hallmark of the action genre. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “The fictional Nakatomi Plaza, used as the setting for the film, actually serves as the headquarters for 20th Century Fox. The company charged itself rent for using the still-under-construction building.” 
    
  “Bruce Willis's costume department had 17 undershirts on hand, each in varying stages of wear and tear, to match the degradation of his shirt during the film.” 
    
  “Bruce Willis was paid an unprecedented $5 million for the role, a figure that was approved by Fox President Rupert Murdoch.” 
    
  “In 2007, Bruce Willis donated the iconic undershirt worn by John McClane to the Smithsonian Museum.” 
    
  “The scene where Bruce Willis meets Alan Rickman was not rehearsed to increase the sense of spontaneity between the two actors.”
