My Architect: A Son's Journey 

[yr-obedt-cicero]

Heyoooo,

Ok, this is gonna be a fun question,

Which actors/actresses will you cast if you are the director directing a movie or TV show about revolutionary war?

People like George Washington, his Aid-de-Camps, the Schuyler sisters and such?

I'm absolute shit at remembering celebrities so many of these are me recasting actors from other shows I've watched.

Ian Kahn as George Washington

Honestly I thought he did a great job in Turn, if only it wasn't for the unnecessary dramatics occasionally but that is really the director's fault rather than his. But I think he has the complexion and characteristics down perfectly, he honestly captures Washington's not so liked side of him with his explosive temper, or harsh judgement. But also his human side of not being a famously trained general with the brightest mind or insight on things throughout the revolution.

Rufus Sewell as Nathaniel Greene

I have seen Sewell's great acting from the HBO max John Adams miniseries, and while I don't think he makes an all-too-grand Hamilton — his features and build could work perfectly for Nathaniel Greene.

Josh Whitehouse as Alexander Hamilton

It is extremely hard for me to find any actors I'll actually find suitable for Hamilton, due to how unique his features are but I think Whitehouse would work pretty nicely. He has the chin, and while not quite the nose it still works. And he has experience doing period dramas from the BBC series Poldark.

Seth Numrich as John Laurens

Pretty self-explanatory, but I absolutely loved his acting as Benjamin Tallmadge in Turn and think he would work greatly for Laurens.

Jamie Beamish as Charles Lee

I thought he played his character nicely in Bridgertons, and the same slimy, stubborn, foolish personality would also match with Lee's. His complexion doesn't match as much as I would like but I think his acting is the major key.

Anyway that's all I can think of for right now, maybe I will do one for more of the Aides-de-camp, or generals, but that's all for now.

Uncovering Hidden Gems: Lesser-Known Documentary Films Worth Watching

Documentary films hold a unique power in the realm of storytelling. They serve not only as a window into the lives of others but also as a mirror reflecting our own experiences, emotions, and societal issues. While mainstream documentaries often receive the lion's share of attention, there exists a treasure trove of lesser-known films that deserve to be spotlighted. This article aims to uncover these hidden gems, showcasing remarkable documentary films that provide profound insights and inspire viewers in unexpected ways.

The Art of Documentary Storytelling

Documentary filmmaking is a craft rooted in the art of storytelling. At its core, a documentary film captures reality and presents it through a narrative lens, allowing viewers to engage with the subject matter on a deeper level. Unlike scripted narratives, documentaries often rely on real-life events and individuals, offering authenticity that resonates with audiences. This authenticity is particularly evident in films that explore unique perspectives or untold stories.

For example, films like "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" or "20 Feet from Stardom" have gained popularity for their compelling narratives and emotional depth. Yet, there are countless other documentaries that, while perhaps less known, offer equally enriching experiences. These films often delve into niche topics, cultural phenomena, or personal stories that challenge conventional thinking and broaden our understanding of the world.

Exploring Lesser-Known Documentary Films

1. The Act of Killing

One of the most striking examples of a lesser-known documentary is "The Act of Killing," directed by Joshua Oppenheimer. This groundbreaking film explores the Indonesian mass killings of 1965-66 through the eyes of the perpetrators themselves. Rather than focusing solely on the historical events, Oppenheimer invites former death squad leaders to reenact their crimes in whatever cinematic style they choose, blurring the lines between reality and fiction. This audacious approach not only confronts the brutal past but also raises questions about guilt, morality, and the nature of evil. The film challenges viewers to grapple with uncomfortable truths, making it a powerful addition to the documentary canon.

2. Jiro Dreams of Sushi

In the culinary world, "Jiro Dreams of Sushi" offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of Jiro Ono, an esteemed sushi chef in Tokyo. While it may not be as obscure as some other documentaries, its meditative exploration of passion, dedication, and the pursuit of perfection sheds light on the artistry behind sushi-making. The film captures the meticulous process of crafting sushi, showcasing Jiro's relentless commitment to his craft and the profound respect he holds for his ingredients. Beyond the world of gastronomy, this documentary serves as an inspiring reminder of the beauty of mastery and the importance of chasing one's dreams.

3. The Wolfpack

Another hidden gem is "The Wolfpack," directed by Crystal Moselle. This documentary tells the extraordinary story of the Angulo brothers, who were raised in isolation in a New York City apartment, heavily influenced by films they watched. The film offers an intimate look at their lives, showcasing how they used film as a means of escape and creativity. The brothers' unique perspective on life and their eventual exploration of the outside world provide a captivating narrative that raises questions about identity, family, and the impact of media on our lives.

4. My Architect

Directed by Nathaniel Kahn, "My Architect" is a deeply personal documentary that explores the life and work of architect Louis Kahn, Nathaniel's estranged father. The film combines interviews, archival footage, and visits to Kahn's iconic buildings to create a portrait of a complex man whose visionary designs were often overshadowed by his tumultuous personal life. This documentary offers a poignant exploration of legacy, creativity, and the quest for understanding one's roots, making it a compelling watch for both architecture enthusiasts and those interested in familial relationships.

5. The Battered Bastards of Baseball

For sports enthusiasts, "The Battered Bastards of Baseball" is a delightful documentary that recounts the story of the Portland Mavericks, an independent baseball team founded by Bing Russell, father of actor Kurt Russell. The film chronicles the team's rise and fall, highlighting the unorthodox approach to baseball and the sense of community that surrounded it. Through interviews with players and archival footage, the documentary captures the spirit of the Mavericks and their defiance against the traditional baseball establishment. This film serves as a reminder of the joy of the game and the power of passion in the face of adversity.

6. The Imposter

In the world of psychological thrillers, "The Imposter" stands out as a riveting documentary that explores the bizarre case of Frédéric Bourdin, a con artist who posed as a missing Texas boy. The film intricately weaves interviews, reenactments, and real footage to unravel the complexities of identity and deception. Viewers are drawn into the twisted narrative, grappling with questions about truth and perception. As the story unfolds, it becomes a reflection on the nature of family and the lengths to which individuals will go to belong.

The Impact of Lesser-Known Documentaries on Society

Lesser-known documentary films often tackle themes that resonate deeply with audiences, addressing social issues, cultural norms, and personal struggles. By shining a light on these narratives, filmmakers contribute to a broader dialogue about the human experience. These documentaries can serve as catalysts for change, encouraging viewers to engage with the world around them in meaningful ways.

For instance, documentaries like "The Act of Killing" and "The Wolfpack" challenge viewers to confront uncomfortable truths about violence and isolation, fostering empathy and understanding. On the other hand, films like "Jiro Dreams of Sushi" and "The Battered Bastards of Baseball" celebrate the beauty of craftsmanship and the power of community, reminding us of the joy that can be found in passion and collaboration.

As audiences increasingly seek out diverse perspectives and narratives, the demand for lesser-known documentary films continues to grow. Platforms such as streaming services and independent film festivals have made it easier for these hidden gems to reach a wider audience. In doing so, they have the potential to reshape cultural discourse, elevate marginalized voices, and inspire positive change.

Conclusion: The Enduring Power of Documentary Films

In a world inundated with information, documentary films offer a unique lens through which we can explore the complexities of life. The lesser-known gems highlighted in this article serve as a testament to the power of storytelling and the importance of diverse narratives. By engaging with these films, viewers can broaden their understanding of the human experience and cultivate a deeper empathy for those whose stories might otherwise go unheard.

As we continue to uncover these hidden gems, we embrace the opportunity to learn, reflect, and connect with the world around us. The impact of documentary films extends far beyond the screen, shaping our perspectives and inspiring action. Whether you’re a seasoned documentary enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, these lesser-known films are worth exploring, as they possess the potential to enlighten and transform.

https://archive.org/details/after-utopia-the-decline-of-political-faith-by-judith-n.-shklar-z-lib.org/Utopias%20and%20architecture%20by%20Nathaniel%20Coleman%20%28z-lib.org%29/

Utopias and Architecture is concerned with the enduring central question in architecture of how buildings communicate. Post-modern architecture often fails to create welcoming built environments, yet in this book Nathaniel Coleman shows how a significant contemporary architecture persists as a real possibility. Utopia is examined as fundamental to the invention of a meaningful architecture and Nathaniel Coleman traces the role of utopias for social imagination through archi- tectural theory and history, utopian literature, utopian studies, philosophy, sociology and anthropology. Comprising an investigation of architectural ideas and works of the 1950s and 1960s, the author focuses on Aldo van Eyck’s Amsterdam Orphanage, Louis |. Kahn's Salk nstitute and Le Corbusier's La Tourette. These exemplary works, constructed when modernist orthodoxy was faltering, proposed an alternative modernity which revealed pathways to recuperating architectural meaning. Nathaniel Coleman extends his investigation into the present, examining Daniel Libeskind’s Berlin Jewish Museum, Tod Williams and Billie Tsien’s Neurosciences Institute and Renzo Piano's Tjibaou Cultural Centre, buildings that continue to renew the tradition of modern architecture in distinct ways. Utopias and Architecture presents an alternative to the predominant current modes of theorizing and practising. No book available on architecture examines utopia with equal depth, or so persuasively challenges conventional readings of the role of utopia for architectural invention, making this work a unique contribution to architectural design methodology, history and theory and utopian studies.

The Price of Everything

The Price of Everything    [trailer]

Documentary about the contemporary art market. It is holding a fun-house mirror up to our values and our times - where everything can be bought and sold.

I continue to be fascinated by the art market. Not so much by the art aspect. But about the "market" part. Much of it seems intransparent, and prone to manipulation. Not necessarily in an illegal way, but all the participants are interested in keeping the prices high and rising. Often driven by easy money, greed and people craving for status.

The doc portrays some interesting artists, collectors and auctioneers. I wonder what those art dealers and "consultants" think about some of their wealthy clients.

I didn't know that Jeff Koons previously worked as a salesman on Wall Street. That explains a lot. He seems to be like a clever manufacturer serving a demand he himself in part creates.

COMMENTS:

She's a beauty. I can see why they picked her up. I've already spent some time with her. She allowed me to brush her hair without protest, but she kicked up a fuss when I touched her directly, and I've got a busted lip to prove it. I won that little tiff, but it's an irritation to keep in mind.

We'll want to keep this one nice and drugged up until she's a little further into the process.

I'm looking forward to the agoraphobia challenge. I think I'm up to it! I have a really good feeling about this one, I think she's going to net me that performance bonus at my annual review this year. Once I've got that in the bank, time for house-shopping. - P. Abernathy
