Features Jim Thorpe. Renowned Native-American athlete of an earlier day who was stripped of his Olympics medals on account of having previously engaged in professional sport. Voted in 1950 the greatest male athlete of the half century. Babe Didrickson was his female counterpart.Buffalo Dance (1894). According to Edison film historian C. Musser, this film and others shot on the same day (see also Sioux ghost dance) featured Native American Indian dancers from Buffalo Bill's Wild West show, and constitutes the American Indian's first appearance before a motion picture camera. Filmed September 24, 1894, in Edison's Black Maria studio... width="425" height="350" .. Native American Ghost Dance (1894). By the 1880's the U.S. government had managed to confine almost all of the Indians on reservations, usually on land so poor that the white man could conceive of no use for it themselves. The rations and supplies that had been guaranteed them by the treaties were of poor quality, if they arrived at all. Graft and corruption were rampant in the Indian Bureau. In an attempt to stem this problem, a move was made to recruit Quakers to take the positions as Indian agents, however not nearly enough Quakers responded to the call for volunteers. This call, however, opened the door to other denominations setting up shop on the reservations. An attempt was made to convert the Indians to Christianity with mixed results. The Ghost Dance movement found its origin in a Paiute Indian named Wovoka who hoped to prepare the Indians for their salvation. Representatives from tribes all over the nation came to Nevada to meet with Wovoka and learn to dance the Ghost Dance and to sing Ghost Dance songs.
Classical, Jazz, R&B, Hip Hop, Folk, Pop, Broadway.....if its good im very open. I love music.
This is an exhaustive list not in any particular order: 1) ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA (NOODLES:"Today they ask us to get rid of Joe, tomorrow they ask me to get rid of you, is that okay with you cause it aint ok with me") 2) THE GODFATHER FILMS (DON CORLEONE: "I never wanted this for you. I work my whole life - I don't apologize - to take care of my family, and I refused to be a fool, dancing on the string held by all those bigshots. I don't apologize - that's my life - but I thought that, that when it was your time, that you would be the one to hold the string. Senator Corleone; Governor Corleone. Well, it wasn't enough time, Michael. It wasn't enough time. " MICHAEL: "We'll get there Pop.") 3) JFK (GARRISON: "Let Justice be done though the Heavens Fall" MR X. "...The organizing principle of any society, Mr. Garrison, is for war. The authority of the state over its people resides in its war powers. Kennedy wanted to end the Cold War in his second term. He wanted to call off the moon race and cooperate with the Soviets. He signed a treaty to ban nuclear testing. He refused to invade Cuba in 1962. He set out to withdraw from Vietnam. But all that ended on the 22nd of November, 1963." GARRISON: "Back and to the left...Back and to the left...Back and to the left" GARRISON: "Treason doth never prosper: what's the reason? Why if it prosper, none dare call it treason."), 4) WALL STREET (GORDON: "The richest one percent of this country owns half our country's wealth, five trillion dollars. One third of that comes from hard work, two thirds comes from inheritance, interest on interest accumulating to widows and idiot sons and what I do, stock and real estate speculation. It's bullshit. You got ninety percent of the American public out there with little or no net worth. I create nothing. I own." ) 5)PLATOON (SGT BARNES: "Ya smoke this shit so to escape from reality? Me, I don't need this shit. I am reality. There's the way it ought to be, and there's the way it is." SGT ELIAS: "I love this place at night. The stars... there's no right or wrong in them. They're just there." CHRIS: " Day by day I struggle to maintain not only my strength but also my sanity. It's all a blur. I have no energy to write. I don't know what's right or wrong anymore. The morale of the men is low, a civil war in the platoon. Half the men with Elias, half with Barnes. There's a lot of suspicion and hate. I can't believe we're fighting each other, when we should be fighting them." CHRIS: "I think now, looking back, we did not fight the enemy; we fought ourselves. The enemy was in us. The war is over for me now, but it will always be there, the rest of my days. As I'm sure Elias will be, fighting with Barnes for what Rhah called "possession of my soul." There are times since, I've felt like a child, born of those two fathers. But be that as it may, those of us who did make it have an obligation to build again. To teach to others what we know, and to try with what's left of our lives to find a goodness and a meaning to this life." ) 6) NIXON ("NIXON: -to the Presidential portrait of Kennedy-"When they look at you, they see what they want to be. When they look at me, they see what they are." ) 7) REDS (JOHN REED: "Profits" EUGENE O'NEILL: "If you were mine, I wouldn't share you with anybody or anything. It'd be just you and me. We'd be the center of it all. I know it would feel a lot more like love than being left alone with your work.") 8) BULWORTH (SEN. BULWORTH: "One man one vote now is that really real? The name of the game is 'lets make a deal'.......You can call it single-payer or Canadian way/Only socialized medicine will every save the day! Come on now lets hear that dirty word....SOCIALISM......" SEN. BULWORTH: "Why Do you Think there are no more Black Leaders?" NINA: (after a pause) "Some people think it's because they all got killed. But I think it's got more to do with the decimation of the manufacturing base in the urban centers. Senator, an optimistic population throws up optimistic, energized leaders. And when you shift manufacturing to the Sun Belt and the Third World, you destroy the blue-collar core of the black activist population. Some people would say that problem is purely cultural. The power of the media that is continually controlled by fewer and fewer people, add to that the monopoly of the media, a consumer culture based on self-gratification, and you're not likely to have a population that want's leadership that calls for self-sacrifice. But the fact is, I'm just a materialist at heart. But if I look at the economic base, higher domestic employment means jobs for African Americans. World War II meant lots of jobs for black folks. That is what energized the community for the civil rights movement of the 50's and the 60's. An energized, hopeful community will not only produce leaders but more importantly it'll produce leaders they'll respond to. Now what do you think, Senator?" Rastaman the Griot: You got to be a spirit! You can't be no ghost.) 9) BEING THERE: CHANCE THE GARDENER: "As long as the roots are not severed, all is well. And all will be well in the garden" LOUISE: "It's for sure a white man's world in America. Look here: I raised that boy since he was the size of a piss-ant. And I'll say right now, he never learned to read and write. No, sir. Had no brains at all. Was stuffed with rice pudding between th' ears. Shortchanged by the Lord, and dumb as a jackass. Look at him now! Yes, sir, all you've gotta be is white in America, to get whatever you want. Gobbledy-gook!") 10) MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON (JEFFERSON SMITH:"Either I'm dead right, or im crazy!" JEFFERSON SMITH: "I wouldn't give you two cents for all your fancy rules if, behind them, they didn't have a little bit of plain, ordinary, everyday kindness and a little looking out for the other fella, too.") 11) RAGING BULL (JAKE: "You hear what I said? You hear what I said.? You don't ever have any disrespect for me. You hear what I said?" JAKE LA MOTTA: "Don't overcook it. You overcook it, it's no good. It defeats its own purpose." [Irma gives Jake a stern but nasty look] JAKE LA MOTTA: "What are you doin'? I just said don't overcook it. You're overcookin' it, bring it over." IRMA: "You want your steak?" JAKE LA MOTTA: "Bring it over. Bring it over! It's like a piece of charcoal! Bring it over here!" FINAL TITLE: "So, for the second time, the Pharisees summoned the man who had been blind and said: / "Speak the truth before God. / We know this fellow is a sinner." / "Whether or not he is a sinner, I do not know," / The man replied. / "All I know is this: / Once I was blind and now I can see." - John IX, 24-26 / the New English Bible"" Afterthought: This may be one of the greatest 20th Century cinematic performances by an actor in DeNiro's portrayal of Jake LaMotta. 12)TAXI DRIVER (TRAVIS: "You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? Then who the hell else are you talkin' to? You talkin' to me? Well, I'm the only one here. Who the fuck do you think you're talking to? Oh, yeah? Ok.") 13) SOPHIE'S CHOICE (STINGO: "I bet your father was a very interesting man." SOPHIE: "Yeah, my father was...a civilized man. - That's the word, yeah? "Civilized?" STINGO: "Very good word." SOPHIE: " Yeah? My father was a civilized man living in a non civilized time. The civilized, they "was" the first to die." NATHAN "Sophie and Nathan atop the Brooklyn Bridge toast Stingos first novel): On this bridge on which...so many great American writers stood and reached out for words...to give America its voice...looking toward the land that gave them Whitman...from its Eastern edge dreamt his country's future and gave it words...on this span of which...Thomas Wolfe and Hart Crane wrote...we welcome Stingo into that pantheon of the Gods...whose words are all we know of immortality.To Stingo!" ...... Ample make this bed/ Make this Bed with awe/ In it, wait til judgment break/ Excellent and fair/ Be its mattress straight/ Be its pillow round/ Let no yellow sunrise noise interrupt this ground/ ASIDE: I actually do think this is THE GREATEST cinematic performance by an Actress in the 20th Century. One of the greatest I have ever seen in my life. It touched me at the very core. 14) LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE ("Tita knows how contact with fire alters elements, how dough becomes a tortilla and that a breast untouched by love just isn't a breast but a useless ball of dough.") 15) WHOSE AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF (GEORGE: "...and when you get through the skin, all three layers and through the muscle, and slosh aside the organs...and get down to the bone, you know what you do then?...You haven't got all the way yet. There's something inside the bone, the marrow, and that's what you gotta get at. " MARTHA: "Our son was born in a September night, a night not unlike tonight, though tomorrow, and sixteen years ago...It was an easy birth, once it had been accepted, and I was young...and he was healthy, a red, bawling child...with slippery firm limbs and a full head of black, fine, fine hair which, oh, later, later, became blond as the sun, our son...And I had wanted a child...oh, I had wanted a child...And I had my child...Our child. And we raised him...and he had green eyes...and he loved the sun...and he was tan before and after everyone and in the sun his hair became fleece...beautiful, beautiful boy...So beautiful, so wise...Beautiful, wise, perfect.") 16) THE GRADUATE (BENJAMIN: Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me....arent you?" "BENJAMIN: ELAAAAIIIINNNNNE!!!!!! ELAINE: BENNNNNN!!!") 17) THE DEERHUNTER (MICHAEL: "This is This...this aint somethin else...this is this") 18) MEET JOHN DOE (THE COLONEL: "I dont read no papers, and I dont listen to no radios either. I know the world's been shaved by a drunken barber, and I dont have to read it" JOHN DOE: "...But we've all got to get in there and pitch. We can't win the old ball game unless we have teamwork. And that's where every John Doe comes in. It's up to him to get together with his teammate, and your teammate, my friends, is the guy next door to ya. Your neighbor - he's a terribly important guy, that guy next door. You're gonna need him and he's gonna need you, so look him up. If he's sick, call on him. If he's hungry, feed him. If he's out of a job, find him one. To most of you, your neighbor is a stranger, a guy with a barkin' dog and a high fence around him. Now you can't be a stranger to any guy that's on your own team. So tear down the fence that separates you. Tear down the fence and you'll tear down a lot of hates and prejudices. Tear down all the fences in the country and you'll really have teamwork.") 19) THE PELICAN BRIEF (GRAY GRANTHAM: "Do you want to talk about the brief?" DARBY SHAW: "Everyone I have told about the brief is dead." GRAY GRANTHAM: "I'll take my chances." DARBY SHAW: "If the State of Georgia can regulate Hardwick's sexuality...engaged in private with consenting adults, Hardwick cannot be free. The Constititution ensures limited government. If there's no right of Privacy and Georgia can enforce the Statute...We sacrifice the liberty the framers thought they'd guaranteed us." PROFESSOR CALLAHAN: "The Supreme Court disagreed with you. They found the Statute did not violate the right of privacy. Why? DARBY SHAW: They're wrong." 20) GERONIMO: (GERONIMO: "With all this land, why is there no room for the Apache? Why does the White-Eye want all land?") 21) IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER: (GERRY CONLON: Aye. You're very good at the english, aren't you? You see, I don't understand your language. "Justice." "Mercy." "Clemency." I literally don't understand what those words mean. I'd like to put in an application to get all my teeth extracted. That way I could put my fist in my mouth and never speak...another word of fuckin' english so long as I live. Do you see what I'm saying? Mrs. Peirce is it? JUDGE: "Do you know who this is, Mr. Dixon?" ROBERT DIXON: "No, I don't." JUDGE: "Well, then would you be so kind as to read the statement that you... took from him on the third of November, XXXX? - Let's see this statement. GARETH PIERCE: A statement, My Lord, which vindicates all of these people, - all these innocent people. - My Lord, I need to see a copy of this statement. Someone, either that man or his superior or his superior's superior, ordered that these people be used as scapegoats...by a nation that was baying for blood... JUDGE: - Mrs. Peirce! GARETH PIERCE: - My Lord! - in return for the innocent blood...spilled on the streets of Guildford! - MAN: Stop her! GARETH PIERCE: And, by God, you got your blood, Mr. Dixon! ROBERT DIXON: - This is a political speech! GARETH PIERCE: You got the blood of Guiseppe Conlon and Carole Richardson! ROBERT DIXON:- This is outrageous! GARETH PIERCE: - You got XX years of blood and sweat and pain from my client... JUDGE- Mrs. Peirce, be silent! GARETH PIERCE: whose only crime was that he was bloody well lrish, - JUDGE: Silence in court! GARETH PIERCE:...and he was foolish, and he was in the wrong place at the wrong time!....... GERRY CONLON: I'm an innocent man! I spent 15 years in prison for somethin' I didn't do! I watched my father die in a British prison for somethin' he didn't do! And this government still says he's guilty! I want to tell them that until my father is proved innocent,until all the people involved in this case are proved innocent, until the guilty ones are brought to justice, I will fight on! In the name of my father and of the truth) 22)THE MATRIX: (MORPHEUS: The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.....Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about?
