  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY STEVEN SPIELBERG 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Saving Private Ryan is a 1998 war film directed by Steven Spielberg, set during World War II. The story follows Captain John Miller and a small group of U.S. Army Rangers as they are tasked with finding and bringing home Private James Ryan, whose three brothers have been killed in action. The film is renowned for its realistic portrayal of the brutalities of war, particularly in its graphic depiction of the D-Day invasion of Normandy. It explores themes of sacrifice, camaraderie, and the emotional toll of war, focusing on the personal stories of soldiers amidst the chaos of battle. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “In 2006, Tom Hanks was inducted into the U.S. Army's Ranger Hall of Fame as an honorary member, largely due to his portrayal of Captain John Miller.” 
    
  “Steven Spielberg stated that even if the film had been given an NC-17 rating, he would have released it uncut.” 
    
  “Cinemas were instructed to increase the volume when showing the film, as the sound effects played a crucial role in the overall impact.” 
    
  “In the German-dubbed version, a German veteran of the Normandy invasion had to be replaced because the film's emotional realism was too intense for him.” 
    
  “Saving Private Ryan was the last film edited using a non-digital editing system to win an Academy Award for editing.”

  Textile Landscapes demonstrates how to develop your approach to textile art with a focus on using found objects and paint and stitch on cloth and paper. 
  Cas explains how to exploit the contrast between the hands-on textural quality of working with fabrics and threads and the spontaneity and movement of brush marks to lend a painterly quality to your work.
  
  She begins with the basics – keeping a sketchbook to generate ideas, painting  and stitching on cloth and on paper and working digitally; Inspiring Landscapes looks at natural and urban space, the changing seasons and great landscapes as well as intimate spaces and travel diaries; Painting and Marking with Cloth explains the practical aspects of painting and dyeing cloth and how to make connections between paint, print, dye, stencil and stitch; Stitch-scapes looks at the different forms of landscape, experimenting with photographs and prints and how to translate those images using ink, stitch, abstract and collage techniques and then at how to transform the image using digital techniques; On Closer Inspection covers using elements and details from landscape and the environment as found objects and for research; finally People and Place explores the relationship we have with the outdoors and the built environment, as well as personal interpretations of place.
  
  The book includes artworks by the author that explore the UK, USA, Europe and Australia, as well as works by other internationally renowned textile artists. A creative guide ideal for textile artists of all levels – students, teachers and practising artists and makers – to make unique and beautiful work inspired by the world around us.
