I am Jewish. My interests include poetry, music, literature, law and movies, and I'm participating in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Movies. I also run my own poetry magazine, Bob's Poetry Magazine (http://www.bobspoetry.com).
RFNs
I mentioned applying the concept of Roman numerals that are Friedman numbers to Erich Friedman. He has discovered a few of them (noted by "EF" in square brackets in the list below). If you find one of them, please let me know in the Talk page. User:PrimeFan found one and let me know about it (noted by "PF" below).
VIII = (V - I) * II
XXVII = IX * ((X/V) + I) [EF]
XXXVI = VI^(XX/X) [EF] or IX * (XX/V)
XLIX = L - I^XX or L^I - (X/X)
LXXV = (L * XV)/X [EF] or XV * (L/X)
LXXVIII = ( XV - II ) * ( L / X + I ) [PF]
CXXXV = XV * (XC/X)
CLXXIX = X * (XX - (C / L)) - I [EF]
CCXLIII = III^(CC/XL)
CCLVI = IV^(CC/L)
CCLXXIV = ((CX / X) * (V^(C / L))) - I [EF]
CCCXLIII = ((CC/C) + (L/X))^III
DCCXXXV = (XX - V) * ((D/X) - (C/C))
MMCLXXXVII = ((CXX/LX) + (M/M))^VII
List of Movies about Music
I did a little search and it appears to me there isn't already an article listing movies about music. But I hesitate to create one outright, as I don't feel like arguing with a deletionist about it. So I'll just work on this list here in my user page until if I hear from someone else that it's worthwhile making into an article. For now I can write in a slightly POV manner.
List of Movies about Real-Life Musicians
- Amadeus - Slanders Antonio Salieri, but isn't that much more flattering to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
- Beethoven Lives Upstairs - Young boy is at first put off by new tenant Ludwig van Beethoven but grows to like him
- Farinelli Il Castrato - Georg Frideric Handel tries to get Farinelli to sing his music.
- Hillary and Jackie - Jacqueline du Pré envies her sister Hillary's simpler life.
- Immortal Beloved - The executor of Ludwig van Beethoven's estate searches for a mystery woman.
- Impromptu (1991 movie) - Funny movie about Chopin and his relationship with Georges Sand.
- Mahler - Lame movie about Gustav Mahler.
List of Movies about Fictitious Musicians
- Bleu - Julie Vignon de Courcy survives an accident that kills her famous husband, the composer Olivier Benoit. But some believe she wrote the music and he took the credit.
- Mr. Holland's Opus - "Of all the lives he touched, the one that changed the most was his own"
Fictitious Composers Mentioned In Movies
- Van den Budenmayer, whose music in real life is written by Zbigniew Preisner for Bleu, Rouge, Dekalog, La Double Vie de Veronique, etc.
- Delvok, a Vulcan composer on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine whom Jadzia Dax considers too emotional to be Vulcan.
List of Movies About Religion
I did a little search and it appears to me there isn't already an article listing movies about religion. But I hesitate to create one outright, as I don't feel like arguing with a deletionist about it. So I'll just work on this list here in my user page until if I hear from someone else that it's worthwhile making into an article. For now I can write in a slightly POV manner.
- Bruce Almighty - Jim Carrey as a temporary god. Very hillarious, but also very thoughtful.
- Dogma - Funny movie about the Catholic religion.
- The Passion of the Christ - I have seen this movie and I did not find it anti-Semitic. From what I've read of the New Testament (I have not studied it as thoroughly as the Old Testament) this movie appears to me to be an accurate portrayal.
List of Movies About Teachers Turning Around Bad Students
I did a little search and it appears to me there isn't already an article listing movies about teachers turning around a class full of unruly or incompetent students. But I hesitate to create one outright, as I don't feel like arguing with a deletionist about it. So I'll just work on this list here in my user page until if I hear from someone else that it's worthwhile making into an article. For now I can write in a slightly POV manner.
