Louis Vuitton 2015 Spring Summer Show




I. About the Clothing Brand






Louis Vuitton Malletier, commonly referred to as Louis Vuitton
or shortened to LV, is a French fashion house founded
 in 1854 by  Louis Vuitton. The label's LV monogram appears on most
 of its products, ranging from luxury trunks and leather goods to
 ready-to-wear, shoes, watches, jewelry, accessories, sunglasses
 and books. Louis Vuitton is one of the world's leading international
 fashion houses; it sells its products through standalone boutiques,
 lease departments in high-end department stores, and through the 
e-commerce section of its website.For six
 consecutive years (2006–2012), Louis Vuitton was named the world's 
most valuable luxurybrand. Its 2012 valuation was US$25.9 billion.
The Louis Vuitton label was founded by Vuitton in 1854 on 
Rue Neuve des Capucines in Paris, France. Louis Vuitton had observed 
that the HJ Cave Osilite trunk could be easily stacked and in 1858,
 Vuitton introduced his flat-bottom trunks with trianon canvas, 
making them lightweight and airtight. Before the introduction of Vuitton's 
trunks, rounded-top trunks were used, generally to promote water run off,
 and thus could not be stacked. It was Vuitton's gray Trianon canvas flat
 trunk that allowed the ability to stack with ease for voyages. Many other
 luggagemakers imitated LV's style and design.

III. About the Director

James Searle Dawley



 American filmmaker J. Searle Dawley, directed
many silent films. He started out in the theater working
as an actor, producer and playwright. In 1907, he began working
for the Edison company advising director Edwin S. Porter
on how to deal with actors. Eventually, Dawley became Porter's assistant
director and was usually placed in charge of overseeing the acting
and dramatic continuity while Porter focused on the action scenes.
It was in one of their 1907 films, Eagle's Nest that D.W. Griffith got his start
as an actor. While with Edison and Porter's independent studio,
Dawley directed close to 300 one-reelers. In 1912, Porter and Dawley
signed to Famous Players. With this move came a promotion and Dawley
became an executive assistant, creative consultant, and finally,
a full-fledged director who went on to work with some
of the era's biggest stars, including John Barrymore and
Mary Pickford. Dawley retired in the mid 1920s.

He directed 149 films between 1907 and 1926.
There are the work which is famous in that.

    IV. My Reaction

    A. Reaction Point - mood(物語の雰囲気やそれが呼び起こす感)

    The atmosphere that this movie is dark generally.
    This work brings on a scarier atmosphere by a monochrome color.
    But I felt this movie for a child because actor reaction is
    very over and movie was made cheaply.

    B. Reaction Point - message(中心的な考えやストーリーの声明)

    he learn about the latest science at a university, 
    and Frankenstein studying natural science starts a plan to create
     the human being. Victor uses the body and completes a robot.
     However, he feels fear in the ugliness of the monster whom oneself 
    produced and runs away from the place. The robot left one for 
    begins to walk the life as a superman having intelligence 
    and the tough body in this way. However, he who became not 
    able to bear that I live in alone asks for the cause of Victor 
    who is a biological parent to make arrival, the woman that 
    it is with a wife. If even a wife makes it, Victor told to never
     appear builds up another robot. However, it may be expected 
    that a family cursed from there opens in the world if a child is born 
    among two people. He who thought so murders her by own hand.

    •  He who knew that oneself was betrayed begins to murder family and friends of Victor for revenge. Cornered Victor will confront him in an arctic ice field of the severe cold to kill own creature by own hand

    C. Reaction Point - cinematography(映画の中のカメラワーク)

    • The direction of the movie characteristic to use the reverse mawashi is seen while I strongly remind of the Fanta's Mago rear which is the origin of the movie, and the picture which a fixed camera projects is rife in an inventive idea.
    • A camera gives an effect to let you forget what is fixed by waving the viewpoint of the person who watches the direction to let you project a monster approaching from the frame outside of the camera behind Frankenstein on the mirror put in the edge of room to the right-side end and the left edge of the frame and does not let a person watching it get tired.

    D. My General Opinion


    I think that this actor's reaction is over.
    when I knew it with the author of this work,I was very surprised.
    Because Thomas Edison was only the image of the inventor. 

    Also I want to watch other works because
    there was a kind elsewhere.

    II. Versions of the Novel in the Mass Media



     
     

    Director Michael Mann based this lushly romantic version of t
    he James Fenimore Cooper novel more on his memory of the
     1936 film version (starring Randolph Scott) than on Cooper's
    novel (in fact, Philip Dunne's 1936 screenplay is cited as source
     material for this film). Set in the 1750s during the French and
     Indian War, the story concerns Hawkeye (Daniel Day-Lewis), the
     European-born adopted son of Mohican scout Chingachgook
    (Russell Means). Hawkeye and his party, which also includes the
     Mohican Uncas (Eric Schweig), joins up with a group of Britons
    who have recently arrived in the Colonies. The group consists of
    Cora Munro (Madeleine Stowe) and her younger sister, Alice (Jodhi May)
    , who are rescued from a Huron war party by Hawkeye. Hawkeye's
    band accompanies them to the British Fort William Henry, which i
    s being besieged by a French and Huron force. The fort falls to
    the French, and Colonel Munro (Maurice Roeves) surrenders to
    French General Montcalm (Patrice Chéreau). The terms of the
    surrender are that the British merely abandon the fort and return
     to their homes. However, the French's bloodthirsty ally, the Huron w
    arrior Magua (Wes Studi), has made no such agreement, and,
    as the British retreat from the fort, he plans to massacre them
     in a terrible Huron attack.

    III. About the Author


    James Fenimore Cooper


     

    His historical romances of frontier and Indian life in the early American days
    created a unique form of American literature. He lived most of his life in
    Cooper stown New York, which was founded by his father William on
    property that he owned. Cooper was a lifelong member of the Episcocal
    Church and, in his later years, contributed generously to it. He attended 
    Yare University for three years, where he was a member of the Linonian S
    ociety,but was expelled for misbehavior.
    Before embarking on his career as a writer, he served in the U.S. Navy as
     a Midshipman which greatly influenced many of his novels and other writings.
     The novel that launched his career was The Spy. a tale about counterespionage
     set during the Revolutionary War and published in 1821.He also wrote numerous
    sea stories, and his best-known works are five historical novels of the frontier period
    known as the Leatherstocking Tales. Among naval historians, Cooper's works on the
     early U.S. Navy have been well received, but they were sometimes criticized by his
    contemporaries. Among his most famous works is the Romantic novel The Last of
    the Mohicans, often regarded as his masterpiece



    IV. My Reaction



    A. Reaction Point - protagonist(メインキャラクター)

    • Hawkeye-The novel’s frontier hero, he is a woodsman, hunter, and scout. Hawkeye is the hero’s adopted name; his real name is Natty Bumppo. A famous marksman, Hawkeye carries a rifle named Killdeer and has earned the frontier nickname La Longue Carabine, or The Long Rifle. Hawkeye moves more comfortably in the forest than in civilization. His closest bonds are with Indians, particularly Chingachgook and Uncas, but he frequently asserts that he has no Indian blood. As a cultural hybrid—a character who mixes elements of different cultures—Hawkeye provides a link between Indians and whites.

    • Magua -  The novel’s villain, he is a cunning Huron nicknamed Le Renard Subtil, or the Subtle Fox. Once a chief among his people, Magua was driven from his tribe for drunkenness. Because the English Colonel Munro enforced this humiliating punishment, Magua possesses a burning desire for retaliation against him.

    •  Cora Munro -  Colonel Munro’s eldest daughter, a solemn girl with a noble bearing. Cora’s dark complexion derives from her mother’s “Negro” background. Cora attracts the love of the Mohican warrior Uncas and seems to return his feelings cautiously. She suffers the tragic fate of the sentimental heroine.

    • Chingachgook -  Uncas’s father, he is one of the two surviving members of the Mohican tribe. An old friend of Hawkeye, Chingachgook is also known as Le Gros Serpent—The Great Snake—because of his crafty intelligence.

    • Uncas -  Chingachgook’s son, he is the youngest and last member of the Indian tribe known as the Mohicans. A noble, proud, self-possessed young man, Uncas falls in love with Cora Munro and suffers tragic consequences for desiring a forbidden interracial coupling. Noble Uncas thwarts the evil Magua’s desire to marry Cora. Uncas also functions as Hawkeye’s adopted brother and learns about leadership from Hawkeye.

    • Alice Munro -  Colonel Munro’s younger daughter by his Scottish second wife, and Cora’s half-sister. Girlish and young, she tends to faint at stressful moments. Alice and Heyward love each other. Alice’s blonde hair, fair skin, and weakness make her a conventional counterpart to the racially mixed and fiery Cora.


    B. Reaction Point - theme (物語の主旨、主題)  

    • Interracial Love and Friendship
      The Last of the Mohicans is a novel about race and the difficulty of overcoming racial divides. Cooper suggests that interracial mingling is both desirable and dangerous. Cooper lauds the genuine and longtime friendship between Hawkeye, a white man, and Chingachgook, a Mohican Indian. Hawkeye and Chingachgook’s shared communion with nature transcends race, enabling them to team up against Huron enemies and to save white military leaders like Heyward. On the other hand, though, Cooper shows his conviction that interracial romances are doomed and undesirable. The interracial love of Uncas and Cora ends in tragedy, and the forced interracial relationship between Cora and Magua is portrayed as unnatural. Through Cora, Cooper suggests that interracial desire can be inherited; Cora desires Indian men because her mother was part black
    • The Role of Religion in the Wilderness
      The character David Gamut allows Cooper to explore the relevance of religion in the wilderness. In theory at least, the American frontier is untouched by human culture. It is a fresh start, a piece of land not ruled by the conventions of European high culture, a place without a firm government or social code. Gamut’s aggressive Calvinism symbolizes the entrance of religion, a European model that enters the blank slate of the New World. We know Gamut is a Calvinist because he talks about predestination, the idea that God has a plan for each person and no amount of human effort can change that plan. Hawkeye’s frequent mockery of Gamut’s psalmody provides the novel’s comic relief. The mockery, which comes from the mouth of the hero, also suggests that institutional religion should not attempt to penetrate the wilderness and convert its inhabitants. Because Cooper makes Gamut ridiculous and Hawkeye heroic, it seems that, like Hawkeye, Cooper scoffs at Calvinism’s tenets.
     
    C. Reaction Point - setting(設定、背景、場所)
     
    • the French and the British in North America in 1757
    • Fort Edward from Scotland
    • Hudson River

    D. My General Opinion
     
    At first,I feel this novel is difficult for me becouse
     I have never read novel in English although
     I have ever read poem in English.
    But I felt while reading and advancing it,
    very fascinating. Actually, I excited chapter8.
    I want to see this movie some day.
