French Revolution Musicals

Question: Will Nicholas Cage play Les in the film version of Les Miserable?

I hear this is a musical comedy that just came out last year about the French revolution. Nichlos Cage will play the lead guy who runs a gulliotine.

Answer: You must be teasing us~aren’t you? There is no “Les”. And, it would be complete idiocy to cast Nicolas Cage anywhere in a production of “Les Miserables”~musical or otherwise.

Confess: You are joking!

Maybe Cage could play some bit part~one of the people being guillotined perhaps.

French Revolution For Kids

Question: american revolution story?

i left for summer vacation early but i still have to do the last project which is a creative writing assignment to write a short story pretending that you were a kid living during the french or american revolution and i chose the american revolution story. I’ve been so busy meeting up with people and enjoying the summer that the deadline has just snuck up on me and now i only have two days left. I know i can finish if i can think of some sort of a plot so i was looking for some kind of ideas. I was thinking about a girl who becomes orphaned and then is left with her two brothers and one joins the army while she has to protect the younger one from the bombs or something. ANY ideas for the plot/climax would be greatly appreciated thanks!

Answer: Here's another idea: Your uncle is a radical patriot assisting gun running into Boston Harbor. Your uncle's sister's husband is a Tory. There are furious arguments at Christams and the children are forced to choose sides. You or your brother can't handle the awful pressure and runs away into the wilderness.. .

French Revolution Class

The territory embracing what is now known as México was once one of the richest and most important colonies of Spain’s Kingdom. Under the name of the “New Spain” it was the main source of gold and silver for the Kingdom during the 400 years of Spaniard domination of this territory, contributing highly to the emergence of Spain as the great power of its time.

But things were not going very well for the locals in the colony, many of whom were treated as slaves, mainly the Indian and African population; and many others as “second class” and even “third class” citizens of an empire that at the beginning of the XIX century was a decadent shadow of its past greatness.

The new ideas of the French Illustration and the American Revolution had influenced a number of intellectuals and progressive personalities of the colony making them think about gaining independence from Spain and implement a number of reforms that would make the territory a new country under many of the values proclaimed by the Illustration.

Among the people thinking seriously about gaining Independence from Spain, gains great notoriety the figure of Miguel Hidalgo, a non-traditional catholic priest that had been living in the town of “Dolores” in what is now the Mexican state of Guanajuato. He had contributed to the betterment of the native population, making him very popular, by teaching them a number of crafts and to some, even how to write and read. Many of these crafts have survived until our current days; for example, the world famous “Talavera” ceramic pieces that you can find in what is now known as the town of “Dolores Hidalgo”. Besides his popularity he was also the lider of the local conspiration against Spain’s rule.

It was the year 1810 when the conspiration against Spain was finally mature enough to be implemented. It was in the month of September when, accelerated by the sudden discovery of the conspiration by “Realist authorities”, the struggle for Independence was initiated. It was the night of September 15 when Hidalgo and others decided to go ahead and gather the people of Dolores to constitute the first army that would march against Spaniard positions.

The long column of peasants and the few trained officials constituting the “Insurgent Army” marched during a number of days through the region gathering more people and resources. Once they felt strong enough they aimed to the biggest Spaniard post in the zone. The world famous mining town of Guanajuato.

And it’s during this episode that the figure of “El Pipila” comes to scene during the first battle of the Independence struggle. Insurgents had put an old grain storage building under siege. All Spaniards had gone into this big building and were using it as a fortress to resist the “Insurgent Army” until some reinforcements could come from the capital or some other post.

Insurgents were desperate. The building seemed to be inexpugnable and they were losing many men trying to approach one of the two doors or climbing the walls. Besides, “Realist” reinforcements could be approaching and they were stuck at that position.

Hidalgo and other officials had come to the conclusion that only by destroying one of the doors they could hope for a victory. But who would do it? Who would dare to approach the door, dodging bullets and put it on fire?…It seemed there was no one willing to take such a high risk to his life. Until “El Pipila” appeared from among the peasants. He approached Hidalgo and told him he was willing to go ahead and burn the door. He had been thinking how to approach the door and he had come to the conclusion he would use a piece of thick stone laced to his back as protection against bullets and then crawl to the door.

And thatÂ’s how he did it. With the heavy piece of stone on his back and a torch in his hand he slowly crawled under enemy fire until he finally reached the door and with his last forces set fire to the door made of wood allowing the Insurgent Army to enter the building and claiming the first victory of the struggle for independence of the country that is now known as Mexico.

Very few things are known of what happened to ‘El Pipila” after this historic episode.

French Revolution Timeline Of Important Events

French ‘Tubist,’ ‘Cubist,’ and ‘Modernist’ painter, sculptor, and filmmaker Fernand Leger (February 4, 1881 – August 17, 1955) was primarily influenced by ‘Impressionism.’ ‘Impressionism’ was a style of painting developed in the last quarter of the nineteenth century, characterized by small brush strokes of bright colors to represent the effect of light on objects. Leger’s meeting with Paul Cezanne and his exposure to the ‘Cubism’ of Pablo Picasso & Georges Braque, greatly influenced the evolution of Fernand’s personal style of painting, as is evident in his most famous painting “Country Outing (La Partie de Champagne (Party of Friends)).”

By around 1910, Fernand Leger’s paintings had developed ‘Abstract’ and ‘Contemporary’ flavors. By 1945, Fernand’s style turned more traditional and less ‘Abstract.’ During this period, he captured on canvass, popular lives, such as those of acrobats, builders, divers, and country outings. Leger painted “Country Outing (La Partie de Champagne)” towards the end of his career, in 1954, at Paris. The painting is based on the theme of holidays and relaxation. His most famous painting “Country Outing” depicted what he witnessed every weekend, such as:

• Families going to the countryside on weekends to meet their friends and families

• Families enjoying a day out sluggishly

• The cyclists

• The campers

• The accordionist

• The lovers

• Party of friends

“Country Outing (La Partie de Champagne)” is a fine hand painted lithograph. Lithography is an art of producing painting on a flat base with a greasy or oily substance, oil paints here. Leger’s most famous painting shows a feeling of calmness and pleasure, reflecting the dissolution of sad impact of the two World Wars on him. “Country Outing” series was created after nine years of World War II. In “La Partie de Champagne (Party of Friends),” Leger separated designs from colors, creating a visual imbalance in his work. Interestingly enough, all the characters of the painting represented those who had an impact on Leger’s last five years of life.

“Country Outing” describes flat areas in audacious color and mechanical figures, surrounded by thick black lines. The painting provides an extensive view of the landscapes covered. Fernand’s most famous painting consists of many figures, represented in a linear fashion. The figures’ shape and pattern were Leger’s main concern. “La Partie de Champagne” depicts a story or a series of events, whether true or fictitious, in the form of geometrical composition.

Leger beautifully portrayed the working class couples, with their hands on each other’s shoulders, showing honest and incorruptible feelings of humanity, the artist always aspired for. The shapes and the patterns of the figures in “Country Outing (La Partie de Champagne (Party of Friends))” blended with the natural surroundings. Undoubtedly, this masterpiece by Fernand Leger fantastically became an integral part of the ‘Contemporary Landscape Painting.’
