THE DARK KNIGHT RISES THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY CHRISTOPHER NOLAN CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE ABOUT THE FILM The Dark Knight Rises is a 2012 superhero film directed by Christopher Nolan, marking the conclusion of his Batman trilogy. Set eight years after The Dark Knight, Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) has retired as Batman, living in isolation. However, Gotham faces a new threat in the form of Bane (Tom Hardy), a masked revolutionary who seeks to destroy the city. As Bane's plan unfolds, Bruce is forced to confront his past, physical limitations, and the legacy of Gotham’s protector. The film explores themes of redemption, resilience, and sacrifice, blending action with emotional depth and complex character arcs. TRIVIA SAMPLES: “Nolan described the central theme of "The Dark Knight Rises" as "pain," in contrast to "fear" in "Batman Begins" and "chaos" in "The Dark Knight." “To avoid leaks, Christopher Nolan chose to verbally share the film's ending with the cast rather than providing written scripts.” “To make Bane appear taller than his co-stars, Tom Hardy, who stands at 5'9", wore lifts that added three inches to his height.” “The line "That's a lovely, lovely voice" was improvised by Tom Hardy during a scene at approximately 1 hour 28 minutes in the film.” “Tom Hardy revealed that the most challenging aspect of filming was the fight scenes. Despite being a huge Batman fan, he said it felt strange to be "beating up [his] childhood hero."”Mostra libro

What we learn when an anthropologist and a historian talk about food. From the origins of agriculture to contemporary debates over culinary authenticity, Ways of Eating introduces listeners to world food history and food anthropology. Through engaging stories and historical deep dives, Benjamin A. Wurgaft and Merry I. White offer new ways to understand food in relation to its natural and cultural histories and the social rules that shape our meals. Wurgaft and White use vivid storytelling to bring food practices to life, weaving stories of Panamanian coffee growers, medieval women beer makers, and Japanese knife forgers. From the Venetian spice trade to the Columbian Exchange, from Roman garum to Vietnamese nuoc cham, Ways of Eating provides an absorbing account of world food history and anthropology. Migration, politics, and the dynamics of group identity all shape what we eat, and we can learn to trace these social forces from the plate to the kitchen, the factory, and the field.Mostra libro
