Musical Film
Musical film is a film genre in which songs by the characters are interwoven into the narrative, sometimes accompanied by dancing. The songs usually advance the plot or develop the film's characters, but in some cases, they serve merely as breaks in the storyline, often as elaborate "production numbers". The musical film was a natural development of the stage musical after the emergence of sound film technology. Typically, the biggest difference between film and stage musicals is the use of lavish background scenery and locations that would be impractical in a theater. Musical films characteristically contain elements reminiscent of theater; performers often treat their song and dance numbers as if a live audience were watching. In a sense, the viewer becomes the diegetic audience, as the performer looks directly into the camera and performs to it. With the advent of sound in the late 1920s, musicals gained popularity with the public and are exemplified by the films of Busby Ber ...

Mangualde
Mangualde () is a municipality in the subregion of Dão-Lafões (historical Beira Interior), central region of Portugal. The population in 2011 was 19,880, in an area of 219.26 km2. History The region of Mangualde has been a crossroads of many peoples: Viriathus's warriors, transhumance shepherds, Romans, Moors and Christian conquerors, including soldiers from Castile or France, or even pilgrims. Mangualde was an important outpost in the textile trade from Covilhã, Seia and Gouveia. Its location, on the frontier with the Serra da Estrela and marginalized by its geography to north, was nonetheless a channel of pre-historic cultures associated with the dolmens that are found through the region. The mount of Nossa Senhora do Castelo, is one such example of the pre-Romanic castros that were used by the early settlers, then reappropriated by the Roman soldiers as forts. The Romans, attracted by the riches of the Iberian Peninsula (primarily minerals), began to progressively occu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Barbarella (comics)
Barbarella is a fictional heroine in a French science fiction comic book created by Jean-Claude Forest. History Jean-Claude Forest created the character of Barbarella for serialization in the French ''V Magazine'' in spring 1962, and in 1964 Éric Losfeld published these strips as a stand-alone book titled ''Barbarella''.

For her creator, the character embodied the modern, emancipated woman in the era of sexual liberation, and as a result, this literary work has come to be associated with the mid-20th century sexual revolution. The comic would stop publishing in 1978 Barbarella was relaunched as an ongoing series by the American publisher Dynamite Entertainment in December 2017.The creative team was as writer Mike Carey and Kenan Yarar as artists.
