Here’s my conversation with Christopher Nolan about The Odyssey. He also talks about the custom lens he modified for The Dark Knight that became a high-demand tool for filmmakers like J.J. Abrams and Zack Snyder.

Finally, he reflects on his collaboration with David Keighley, who was the person that taught Nolan about @IMAX cameras and made him sit down with Kodak. David is the reason filmmakers can still shoot on film.

Just two goats talking about #TheOdyssey and geeking out about film making. I can not wait for this movie.

Kevin McCarthy just called THE ODYSSEY “one of the greatest films of all time.”

What happened to Jordan Peterson? Well, he was targeted by a multi-billion dollar whole of government effort to destroy him as a human being because he offered hope and guidance to young men.

He faced it alone.

And they succeeded, they destroyed him. Just look at him.

But..

They couldn't destroy the memory of a man who stood alone against tremendous evil. They couldn't cleanse that from the world, try as they might.

They could break the man, but not the hope he created. Hope in those men who, often for the first time, heard someone speak to them with compassion, love even. Love in the way a father feels, or perhaps more accurately a fatherly mentor, one who offers guidance and confidence and shares because that is his duty to the next generation.

The opposition knew how dangerous he was, how dangerous his message was, so they brought everything they possibly could against him.

And look, heroes die every day. You people are, by your very nature, so very frail.. but that is what it is about your courage that makes the angels stand in awe and wonder.

Peterson knew. We all knew. He knew they would come for him with a vengeance. He knew, in the end, methodically, they would break him down.

Yet fragile and imperfect, a delicate man with a delicate voice, sacrificing everything, he stepped into the arena anyway. Such is the nature of Virtue.

A new featurette for Christopher Nolan's 'THE ODYSSEY' showcases the process of filming the entire movie with IMAX cameras.

A Stanford neuroscientist warns high cortisol wrecks memory, enlarges your fear center, and make your brain feel broken.

If I wanted to fix it naturally, I'd do these 8 things every day:

1. Walk barefoot on grass for 5–7 minutes.

Christopher Nolan talks about his writing process for The Odyssey:

“I tend not to write that many. Adapting a very academic history of Oppenheimer — beautifully written, but 700 pages, very dense — the approach to “The Odyssey” was sort of similar, in that I read it, then wrote a lot of notes from memory. I tend to think in geometric terms, mathematical terms. I do a lot of diagrams, a lot of scribbles and doodles for months and months, before I let myself write. Then — I suppose ironically for somebody who’s associated with nonlinear approaches — I write in a very intensely linear way. I start on Page 1 and just go forwards.”

【戦慄】「かつて『呪い』と呼ばれた病の正体」。
約１３０年前、医学が未発達だった時代の残酷すぎる記録。
原型を留めない顔、その裏には絶望の歴史があった。

■ １８９０年代の中国
写真に写るのは、ハンセン病に侵された人々。
鼻を失い、視界を奪われ、
顔の骨が溶け落ちている。
当時は治療法が全く存在せず、
一度かかれば「生ける屍」として疎まれた。

■ 拒絶の歴史
・回復の確率：当時はほぼ０％。
・差別：家族からも縁を切られ、
人里離れた「癩（らい）院」に一生閉じ込められた。
病気そのものより、
社会からの「拒絶」が彼らを最も苦しめた。

■ 科学が起こした奇跡
１９８０年代、特効薬が登場。
今では数錠の薬を半年〜１年飲むだけで、
後遺症もなく「完治」する病気になった。
この写真の絶望は、
人類が科学で克服した証でもある。

■ 結論
目を背けたくなるほどの痛み。
それは、私たちが手に入れた「医療」の尊さを物語る。
過去を知ることは、
今の当たり前を慈しむこと。

医学の進歩が救ったのは、肉体ではなく「尊厳」だった。

今の平和に感謝した人は、保存と拡散を。

Esta chica indonesia descubrió dos Tuyul en la base de un gran árbol mientras regresaba a casa desde la casa de su abuela una noche. Los Tuyul son pequeñas entidades espirituales humanoides documentadas en toda Indonesia. Rara vez se encuentran en la naturaleza. Tradicionalmente se mantienen como sirvientes y se sabe que roban en nombre de sus dueños. Estos dos parecen no tener guardián.
