Bob le Flambeur (Jean-Pierre Melville, 1956)

Cast: Roger Duchesne, Guy Decomble, Isabelle Corey, Daniel Cauchy, André Garey, Gérard Buhr, Claude Cerval, Colette Fleury, René Havard, Simone Paris, Howard Vernon. Screenplay: Jean-Pierre Melville, August Le Breton. Cinematography: Henri Decaë. Production design: Claude Bouxin. Film editing: Monique Bonnot. Music: Eddie Barclay, Jo Boyer. 

Sometimes the pleasures you get from a movie are not the intended ones of plot or action or dialogue. For example, I get a great delight from hearing how the French actors in Bob le Flambeur pronounce the title character's name: It's closer to "Bub" than to the American "Bahb." But even that incidental detail is somehow essential to what the film is all about: a reworking of American culture -- the gangster movie -- in the French manner. It would be different somehow if the title character were named Jules or Pierre or Marcel, but calling him Bob, even with a French accent, sets up all sorts of subliminal reverberations. It's intriguing that the foreign filmmakers who most successfully translated the gangster genre to their own cultures were the French and the Japanese. The latter reworked the figure of the samurai into that of the yakuza, while the former turned the existential loner into the outlaw. Jean-Pierre Melville's film is a celebrated precursor of the French New Wave, to which Melville himself became central in 1967 when he gave Alain Delon Bob's fedora and trenchcoat and made Le Samouraï, thereby merging all three cinematic gangster mythologies. For my part, the chief delight of Bob le Flambeur is its essential Frenchness, particularly Henri Decaë's lovingly crafted images of Montmartre, as masterly in their way as those of Lautrec or Utrillo.

Iran launched explosive drones and fired missiles at Israel in its first direct attack on Israeli territory, a retaliatory strike that raised the threat of a wider regional conflict, as the US pledged "ironclad" backing for Israel. Israel's military spokesperson, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, said Iran launched dozens of ground-to-ground missiles at Israel, most of them intercepted outside Israeli borders. They included more than 10 cruise missiles, he said. The Iranian salvo of more than 200 drones and missiles caused light damage to one Israeli military facility, Hagari said. The Israeli military later said it was not advising any residents to prepare to take shelter. This revision of an earlier alert appeared to signal the end of the threat. Iran warned Israel and the United States on Sunday of a much larger response if there is any retaliation for its mass drone and missile attack on Israeli territory overnight, as Israel said "the campaign is not over yet".

[astronomerosh19]

Differential equations have been a major branch of pure and applied mathematics since their inauguration in the mid 17th century. Differential equations' began with Leibniz, the Bernoulli brothers, and others from the 1680s, not long after Newton's `fluxional equations' in the 1670s. Applications were made largely to geometry and mechanics; isoperimetrical problems were exercises in optimisation. Most 18th-century developments consolidated the Leibnizian tradition, extending its multi-variate form, thus leading to partial differential equations. Generalisation of isoperimetrical problems led to the calculus of variations. New figures appeared, especially Euler, Daniel Bernoulli, Lagrange, and Laplace. Development of the general theory of solutions included singular ones, functional solutions, and those by infinite series. Many applications were made to mechanics, especially to astronomy and continuous media. In the 19th century: general theory was enriched by the development of the understanding of general and particular solutions, and of existence theorems. More types of the equation and their solutions appeared; for example, Fourier analysis and special functions. Among new figures, Cauchy stands out. Applications were now made not only to classical mechanics but also to heat theory, optics, electricity, and magnetism, especially with the impact of Maxwell. Later Poincaré introduced recurrence theorems, initially in connection with the three-body problem. In the 20th century: general theory was influenced by the arrival of set theory in mathematical analysis; with consequences for theorisation, including further topological aspects. New applications were made to quantum mathematics, dynamical systems, and relativity theory. #math #mathematics #equations #differential #leibniz #bernoulli #newton #geometry #mechanics #calculus #euler #theory #astronomy #astrophysics #cauchy #maxwell #poincaré #theorem #quantum #quantumphysics #physics #relativity #instagram #science #education #life #beautiful #quantummechanics #ordinary #instastudent ... 💫... https://www.instagram.com/p/B_yc2SsFTly/?igshid=xiirksitbub6

Bob Le Flambeur - Likeable French Gangster Movie

Noticed that one of the 'french noir' films from our Netflix queue was playing on Sundance last night, so took it in, after catching 'The Ox Bow Incident' for the umpteenth time on the Encore Western Channel. This one started kind of slow, but quickly picked up speed once the scenario was set in motion. The title character ("Bob the gambler") is an aging criminal with a checkered past, but is mostly harmless these days, passing his time playing constant games of chance till the wee hours of the morning. A financial set back and a fortuitous bit of inside information tempt him back into one more caper for 800 million francs, robbing a casino. Now if he can just pull it off under the nose of his chum, the policeman, and keep his cohorts and inside men from blabbing to their wives and girlfriends. We know its going to end tragically, and the fun is seeing how we get there. Shot in gritty noir style with a lot of colorful background lowlife characters, and a classy, likeable hood at the center, this is a nice caper film to compare with the best from hollywood's golden age of noir. This one also features some nice eye candy in the personage of cutie pie Isabelle Corey (15 years old at the time, my goodness) who plays a 'girl of the streets' (not quite a prostitute yet, but well on her way) who acts as a sort of love interest for Bob's young friend (and if Bob weren't so old, maybe... but no...he's too classy for that). Also features an interesting cafe owner character, who seems to carry a flame for Bob, sort of like the character Barbara Bell Geddes played in Vertigo the other night. Like many a caper film, along the lines of 'Asphalt Jungle' (can you imagine if that movie had Marilyn Monroe waltzing around in similar states of undress like Isabelle Corey - a movie made right around the same time) or 'The Killing' or more recently 'The Bank Job'. Well worth a look for fans of the genre.
