Greetings

Greetings are considered to be of extreme importance in Japanese culture, and students in elementary and secondary schools are often admonished to deliver greetings with energy and vigour. A lazy greeting is regarded with the type of disdain that would accompany a limp handshake in the West. The main greetings are o-hayō gozaimasu (お早うございます -- good morning -- used until about 11am), konnichi-wa (今日は -- literally, it is today; roughly equivalent to good day, good afternoon -- used until late afterno ...

Bowing is the act of lowering the head, or sometimes the entire upper body from the waist, as a social gesture. Bowing exists now and has existed in various cultures at various periods in history. Different cultures have placed varying degrees of importance on bowing, and have used bowing in a variety of ways. In European cultures, bowing is an exclusively male practice - females perform a related gesture called a "courtsey" or "curtsy."

Roman salute - Early images. The salute was supposed to have been used in the Roman republic, but there is no clear evidence of this. Indeed it is not known whether salutes in the military sense existed at all in Roman culture. However, a number of images showing similar gestures exist from the Imperial era. These depict Roman leaders addressing their troops ("adlocutio" scenes). Usually the leader has his arm raised in a rhetorical gesture. In some images a few troops are also depicted with raised arms, possibly suggesting acclamation of the leader. Several such s ...

Satirical use of the salute dates back to anti-Nazi propaganda in Germany before 1933. The photomontage artist John Heartfield used Hitler's modified version, with the hand bent over the shoulder, in a poster that linked Hitler to big business. A giant figure representing right-wing capitalists stands behind Hitler, placing money in his hand, suggesting "backhand" donations. The caption is, "the meaning of the Hitler salute". During the war the allies also used the salute in satirical ways, often to poke fun at the Nazis. In Charlie C ...

Following a disastrous Hollywood foray, in which his next film Get to Know Your Rabbit was reedited by Warner Bros. at the behest of star Tom Smothers, De Palma returned to independent film. Both Blood Sisters and Phantom of the Paradise were tongue-in-cheek experiments in pure cinema and allowed De Palma to jettison the more dated hippie trappings of his earlier films. Obsession, an emotional alternative take on Vertigo scripted by Paul Schrader, seems less now a bold attempt to usurp Alfred Hitchcock than ...
