  As the centre of Far-Eastern art, China has always fascinated Westerners, who take an interest in its religious leaders and savants as much as in its artists. Sophisticated and mysterious, Chinese art has persistently developed for 10,000 years through unequalled talent, which long ago established its artistic preeminence. Admired and imitated by all, today Chinese paintings and porcelain are the timeless reminders of a decadent past which continues to astound people around the world. Dealing not only with architecture, sculpture and painting but also with bronze and porcelain, this text offers a complete panorama of Chinese arts and civilisation until the fall of the Empire in 1911.

  JACKIE BROWN 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY QUENTIN TARANTINO 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Jackie Brown (1997), directed by Quentin Tarantino, is a crime thriller based on Elmore Leonard's novel Rum Punch. The film follows Jackie Brown, a flight attendant who smuggles money for a gunrunner, Ordell Robbie. After being caught by law enforcement, she devises a plan to double-cross everyone involved in the deal, including Ordell, the police, and a bail bondsman named Max Cherry. The film explores themes of betrayal, survival, and deception, with a strong focus on complex characters and intricate plotting. Set against the backdrop of 1990s Los Angeles, Jackie Brown blends crime, suspense, and Tarantino's signature sharp dialogue. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Pam Grier had auditioned for a part in Pulp Fiction that eventually went to Rosanna Arquette. Tarantino, however, had not forgotten about her and created the role of Jackie Brown specifically for her.” 
    
  “Michael Keaton desperately tried to talk Tarantino out of casting him as Ray Nicolette, claiming he was not right for the role. Tarantino found Keaton’s reluctance endearing and ultimately cast him.” 
    
  “Tarantino compared Jackie Brown to the film Rio Bravo, saying it's a "hangout movie" that gets better with each viewing. He noted that the film rewards multiple viewings by allowing audiences to enjoy the hangout scenes rather than focusing on the plot.” 
    
  “In the first mall scene, Max Cherry (Robert Forster) is seen exiting a movie theater while the music for the ending credits is playing, which is actually the closing music for the film.”

  Sengoku - Warring States and the...

  The Sengoku period, meaning “Warring States,” was one of the most turbulent and transformative eras in Japanese history. Lasting from the mid-15th century to the early 17th century, it was marked by ceaseless conflict, shifting alliances, and the gradual disintegration of centralized authority. The roots of this period can be traced back to the decline of the Ashikaga Shogunate, the Ōnin War, and the rise of regional warlords known as daimyo, each vying for control over Japan’s fractured political landscape. 
  The Ashikaga Shogunate, which had ruled Japan since the early 14th century, gradually lost its grip on the country due to internal corruption, weak leadership, and an inability to maintain order. By the mid-15th century, the shogunate had become largely symbolic, with real power resting in the hands of feudal lords. These tensions erupted into full-scale conflict with the outbreak of the Ōnin War (1467–1477), a devastating civil war primarily fought in and around Kyoto. What began as a succession dispute within the shogunate spiraled into a nationwide conflict, leading to the destruction of Kyoto and the collapse of central authority. 
  With the Ashikaga Shogunate rendered powerless, Japan entered a chaotic era where military might determined control. Local daimyo, originally appointed as provincial governors, seized the opportunity to establish autonomous domains. These warlords fortified their territories, raised armies, and engaged in relentless battles to expand their influence. The traditional system of hereditary rule began to erode as capable military leaders, often of humble origins, overthrew established families. This period saw the rise of powerful daimyo such as the Takeda, Uesugi, and Hojo clans, each striving to dominate the fractured nation.
