![]() ![]() Indeed, in getting around some of the thornier issues of the original incarnation, it still conveys the heart of the story: Percy beheads her using the mirrored surface of his phone. Percy and his friends have to face her while keeping their eyes closed the whole time, and the film succeeds in conveying how dangerous such a scenario can be. In so doing, it had to make a number of changes. When that fails, she threatens to tear their eyelids off with her snakes if they don’t comply. How Percy Jackson & the Olympians Rewrote the Medusa Myth By Robert Vaux Published Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief delivers a new version of Medusa. Instead, Thurman plays Medusa as seductress, who possesses serpent-like powers of hypnosis to compel her victims to look at her. The project has been in development since May. Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief keeps a surprising amount of the myth intact, including Medusa’s previous relationship with Percy’s father, Poseidon (“I used to date your daddy,” she purrs at the beginning of their confrontation), and eventual use of her severed head to petrify his wicked stepfather.Īs with Clash of the Titans, however, she needs to be a more active threat, and while the earlier movie compensated by giving her a bow and arrow for a ranged attack, that wouldn’t fit the setting of Percy Jackson. The streaming platform has given a series order to Percy Jackson and the Olympians, based on author Rick Riordan’s best-selling series of novels.

This breathtaking animated feature, produced and spearheaded by Salma Hayek, was an official selection at Cannes and made its North American premiere at Toronto International Film Festival. Gibran’s timeless verses have been given enchanting new form in this painterly cinematic adventure about freedom and the power of human expression. The Prophet, by celebrated Lebanese author Kahlil Gibran, is among the most popular volumes of poetry ever written, selling over 100 million copies in forty languages since its publication in 1923. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He’s a genius businessman: patient with earnings, able to learn from his mistakes, determined that his employees develop a reverence for free-market ruthlessness, and a master disrupter. But few people know much about Koch Industries and that’s because the billionaire Koch brothers have wanted it that way.įor five decades, CEO Charles Koch has kept Koch Industries quietly operating in deepest secrecy, with a view toward very, very long-term profits. Koch is everywhere: from the fertilizers that make our food to the chemicals that make our pipes to the synthetics that make our carpets and diapers to the Wall Street trading in all these commodities. ![]() The annual revenue of Koch Industries is bigger than that of Goldman Sachs, Facebook, and US Steel combined. Christopher Leonard’s Kochland uses the extraordinary account of how one of the biggest private companies in the world grew to be that big to tell the story of modern corporate America. ![]() ![]() ![]() The repetition of the personal pronoun “I” throughout the poem highlights how this is a personal poem, written from one to another. Read this poem as a powerful declaration of a woman’s love for her husband. ![]() ![]() There seems to be the feeling of exaggeration in this line, like she is saying ‘I love you this much!” and opening her arms. The “depth and breadth and height” line suggests that her love is all encompassing. But in her poem, Browning is in control (so much so that her husband in conspicuous in his absence).īrowning follows this opening with some grand, and some gentle, metaphors exemplifying her love. This is especially important as at the time of writing woman were considered the subservient sex in society. Browning begins with a question: “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.” It is interesting to note here that Browning answers her own question, she is control of the narrative here. Her subject matter, love, is taken apart and explored in a lot of detail: she shows us how, and why, she loves her husband. It is interesting to note here that Browning wrote these sonnets as a way of explaining and verbalising the love she felt for her husband, not as an exercise in style or form. Her collection of 44 sonnets was entitled Sonnets from the Portuguese and they were all dedicated to her husband. ![]() Elizabeth Barrett Browning loved her husband, a lot. ![]() |
