NOBLE BRUTUS?
BBC's Animated Series : Julius Caesar
Brutus Kills Caesar for Noble Cause?
People said that Brutus killed Caesar to become the King.This is not true. Brutus actually killed Caesar because of his noble cause. He is a noble man. Brutus really loves Rome and he thinks that by killing Caesar, he is doing it for the sake of Rome. Before he wanted to killed Caesar, he can't sleep thinking is it right to murder someone he truly love. Brutus also said " I know no personal cause to spurn on him, but for the general." Brutus does not hate Caesar, he is just afraid that Caesar must turn into a tyrant. This will make rome suffer, thus because of love for rome is more than Caesar, he killed him. This is indeed a noble decision and a decision so noble i think that Caesar would understand why Brutus killed him. Brutus is very patriotic and what he done is all for his country. Thus, Brutus is indeed an honorable man. IN YOUR FACE MARK ANTONY. :)

Julies Caesar:Hungry for power
JULIUS CAESAR
Julius caesar is a
roman dictator, a successful dictator yet were killed by his own members.What
he did to the country, by killing pirates is for their own country sakes.Yes it
true that he is a sadistic men, killing people with no mercy, but you must look
at a bright side, it is all for the roman empire.He did many bad things, to
others people, not to roman but did good things to the roman.If you see it in a
way, if caesar does not killed those pirates, they will harm the people of
roman.and for the true story,it was the ports who first capture caesar at the
first place. Thus, an eye for an eye they say.
Then he attack Gaul, and for what reason?So, that
Gaul won't attack them first.For Caesar, it was a golden opportunity to impress
the senate and People's Assembly. Besides, there were reports about
Germans that were attacking the Aedui, a Gallic tribe in the valley
of the Saône that was allied to Rome. A victory over the Germans would place
him on the same rank as his uncle Marius. This is exactly what happened.
He spent the winter in Cisalpine Gaul, having an
eye on the city of Rome and giving instructions to Piso. And he wrote the first
part of his Commentary on the war in Gaul, which had two purposes:
he could boast about his successes, and he could explain why he had to attack
the rest of Gaul. It was successful: no Roman ever asked if it was really
necessary to conquer these vast territories.

From Hell : Fact or Fictions
From Hell (2001)
From what i read about the true history of Jack the ripper, and the Johnny Deep film From Hell, i notice contrast where as in the film, the director mostly take the storyline from Stephen Knights book Jack The Ripper, the Final Solution, and others from the director imagination.
In the film, police Inspector, Fredrick Abberline potrayed by johnny Deep is known to be addicted to Opium. However, the "real" Fredrick Abberline does not have any history of usage of drug or even opium. In the movie, Abberline died of the overdose of the opium drug, but the "real" Abberline died at the age of 86 in his house.
Other than that, in the film, we saw that all the victims of Jack the ripper is friends. However, there are no evidence that link that all of the victim are friends even though they came from the same area.
The way the victim were killed is also different from the movie and real life. In the movie, Martha Tabram is describes to be killed by having her throats and her vagina cut off. In real life, she was discovered died from the 39 stab wounds to the chest, abdomen ,groin and thighs.
Last but not least, in the movie, Marry Kelly escaped from the wrath of the killer. However, Mary is actually the last known victims of the ripper. And most surprisingly, in real life, there are no evidence that show Inspector Abberline having relationship with Marry Kelly and he never met her before she was dead!
James Kelly is not Jack the Ripper
Jack the Ripper in America
James Kelly is known for the suspect of Jack the Ripper, the serial killer who killed prostitutes in late 1980. In the documentary, JAck the Ripper in America, a former head of NYPD cold case Squad, Ed Harris investigates the potential suspect of the serial killing which also occurs in America. The main suspects of his investigation is James Kelly. Why do he choose James Kelly:
- He is diagnosed of mental disorder
- He is capable of murdering using knife
- He killed his wife with a knife
- He escaped from the mental institution before the white chapel killings
- He went to USA and there are murders with same MO with jack the ripper
However, I don't think that he is Jack the ripper. Why first of all, there are no concrete evidence that James Kelly is in London on 1988. Next, as a serial killer, why should he what for 3 years just to do another serial killings? Why don't he just kills random people at london at that time?Why must America? Yes he kills his wife but that doesn't show any connection on the others killing. He kills his wife because she thought her wife cheated on him. Yes he escaped from the mental institution, but why kill people when he can just run away?and there is no evidence that link James Kelly were in London when the murder occurs. Last but not least , he went to America and then accused to be the jack the ripper. There are others suspect that live in America, for instance, George Chapman, who killed 3 of his wives.There are also evidence that show Chapmans were in London when the white chapel killing occurs. The best part of the evidence is the letter. The handwriting of the Jack the ripper does not match James Kelly handwriting at all! Thus, what i can conclude is James Kelly is not Jack the ripper. The question now is WHO?

Alien on earth?You got to be kidding me
UFO- ANCIENT ALIENS THE EVIDENCE
Thousand years a ago, pyramaaßåid was build by ancient civilization. But how do they manage to build such wonderful sculpture without having technologies as we have today. How can it be possible for men to build a hundred feet building with their only strength.
Well is it true that aliens comes to earth and help this early civilized people how to build something? Let took a look at a fact by the movie. An Egyptian found a wooden bird call shikara that looks like a model of plane and have characteristic similar to a plane. How is that possible?. My answer , my little brother can do that. It is a bird.A damn bird. Of course it will look like that. If an alien come to earth and teach us about technologies, why don't teach us about how to build a space craft?
Another facts that contributed to the movie that alien exist is the ancient stone cutting techniques. It was said that even we can accomplished what the ancient egypt has done. Example in puma punku. However, if you look clearly, the stone is actually scattered all around the place and it doesn't look like alien do that. It seem that human also do that, with some bombing or smashing. How can it possibly be alien? Too much watching dvd i think?

Super Size Me!!!!
Are you convinced
that fast food is the main cause of obesity in United States and around the
world?
Well, after watching this documentary
movie directed and starring by Morgan Spurlock , i found that that the movie is
trying to condemned the fast food restaurant by giving fact and example that
fast food company is the one responsible for the cause of obesity in America.
Fast food is NOT the cause in obesity in America. It is actually the individual
who does not live a healthy life the reason for obesity. As you can see in the
film, Spurlock repeatedly stuffed hi,self with super sized Mcdonald
food but does not make out physical activities. No wonder he can gain weight in
a matter of days.
This movie also doesn't offer
solution to obesity. It just a movie that created to show how to gain weight
easily by eating fast food. Even though you eat regular food, but is massive
amount , without regular exercise, you too will become obese. People can't
blame solely on fast food as the main cause of obesity.
Dr. Ruth Kava, Director of
Nutrition at the American Council on Science and Health (ASCH) says:
"As a professional nutritionist, I think this movie does a
disservice to the American people. Obesity is a serious issue in this country
and the movie is not a serious attempt to answer it. It misleads people into
thinking that eating a particular type of food or at a particular restaurant is
the cause for a weight problem. That certainly is not the case." Source :http://www.cfif.org/htdocs/freedomline/current/in_our_opinion/morgan-spurlock-super-size-me.html
