From Stephen Prince, The Warrior's Camera, pp. 320-321. Two aspects of the film were especially inflammatory. One occurs during the extended scene in which the grandchildren visit the Nagasaki memorials to the bombing victims. . .A montage shows the memorials contributed by other nations, and a substantial number of these are from former Eastern Bloc and communist countries: Czechoslovakia, Poland, Bulgaria, China, Cuba and the Former USSR.

Rhapsody in August received less than favorable reviews on its release in 1991 and has been generally regarded as one of Kurosawa's lesser works (Though many still consider the film an impressive piece of cinema). Most of the controversy centered on the film's depiction of the atomic bombing as a war crime while omitting details of Japanese war crimes in the Pacific War. When Rhapsody premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, one journalist cried out at a press conference, "Why was the bomb dropped in the first place?" At t ...

Foreign policy was one of the main concerns of the Fourth of August regime. Metaxas, who had studied in Germany as a youth was pro-German, as was the King. But the reality of 1930's Europe was that Greece's security depended on her traditional protector, Great Britain, which was the superpower dominating the Eastern Mediterranean Sea with her fleet. In addition, Mussolini's grandiose schemes to create a new Roman Empire in the Mediterranean directly clashed with Greek pretensions to control the Aegean Sea and the Dodecanese isla ...

The trial of Spies and his associates was highly controversial. The jury was selected specifically by a special bailiff; one of the jury members was a relative of one of the slain policemen! Julius Grinnell, the State's Attorney, told the jury: "Convict these men, make examples of them, hang them, and you save our institutions." During the trial the jury was allowed by the judge to read articles in support of political violence written previously by the defendants as evidence. While i ...

Natterer was one of the "schizophrenic masters" profiled by Hans Prinzhorn in his field-defining work Artistry of the Mentally Ill. His drawings are attempts to capture the "10,000 images" of his April Fool's Day hallucination, and are always rendered in a clear, objective style, like that of a technical drawing. This may be due to his background as an electrician. Natterer once claimed that Axel of the World, with Rabbit, which can be seen to the right, had predicted World War One. The rabbit represented "the uncertaint ...

Known as the 'father of sociology', he was born in Montpellier, in southwestern France. After attending school there, Comte was allowed to study at the École Polytechnique in Paris.
