  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.”

  Rare Recording of Father Charles...

  Father Charles Coughlin

  Father Charles Coughlin was a controversial Canadian-American Catholic priest based in Michigan. Calling for monetary reforms, the nationalization of major industries and railroads, and protection of the rights of labor, Coughlin used weekly radio broadcasts to reach a mass audience of up to thirty million listeners during the 1930s. 
  An early supporter of Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal, Coughlin later became a harsh critic. Coughlin’s commentary also became more anti-semitic, and he supported some of the fascist policies of Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito. As a result, many American Catholic leaders, as well as the Vatican, wanted Coughlin silenced. After the outbreak of World War II in 1939, the Roosevelt administration finally forced the cancellation of his radio program and forbade the dissemination of his newspaper, Social Justice. 
  In this recording, Coughlin first discusses Franklin D. Roosevelt, and then the consequences of World War I twenty years after.

  IJourney through the dramatic evolution of Japan's feudal era in this comprehensive volume that chronicles three pivotal periods of Japanese history. From the cultural renaissance of the Muromachi Period to the chaotic warfare of the Sengoku Period, and finally to the enduring peace of the Tokugawa Shogunate, this meticulously researched work brings to life the warriors, lords, and cultural icons who shaped Japan's destiny. 
  The Muromachi Period (1336-1573) explores the rise of the Ashikaga shogunate and the unique blend of warrior culture with artistic achievement. Witness the flowering of Noh theater, ink painting, and the refined aesthetics of the "higashiyama culture" even as political power fragmented among regional warlords and Buddhist monasteries wielded military might. 
  The Sengoku Period (1467-1615) thrusts readers into Japan's turbulent "Age of Warring States," where legendary daimyo like Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu fought for supremacy. Experience the battlefield innovations, castle-building, and strategic alliances that transformed Japan's military landscape, while Portuguese firearms and Christian missionaries added new dimensions to the struggle. 
  The Tokugawa Shogunate (1603-1868) reveals how the Tokugawa clan established Japan's longest-lasting feudal government, creating an intricate social hierarchy and isolationist foreign policy that preserved peace for over 250 years. Discover how this period of stability led to the rise of the merchant class, the flourishing of ukiyo-e art, kabuki theater, and the vibrant urban culture of Edo (modern Tokyo). 
  Richly illustrated and accessibly written, this three-in-one volume provides both newcomers and history enthusiasts with a definitive guide to understanding how the interplay of war, culture, and governance shaped Japan's feudal society and continues to influence the nation today.

  DUNKIRK 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY CHRISTOPHER NOLAN 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Dunkirk is a 2017 war film directed by Christopher Nolan that portrays the intense Dunkirk evacuation during World War II. The story unfolds from three perspectives: land, sea, and air. On the beach, thousands of Allied soldiers face the imminent threat of German forces while awaiting rescue. Civilians, represented by a boat owner named Dawson, cross the English Channel to assist in the evacuation. In the sky, RAF pilots engage in fierce aerial combat to protect the evacuation efforts. The film emphasizes suspense, survival, and the human experience of war, with minimal dialogue and a heavy focus on visual storytelling. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “The end credits mention that twelve of the original "little ships" that participated in the Dunkirk evacuation are depicted in the film, reenacting their role from 1940.” 
    
  “The ticking sounds featured prominently in Hans Zimmer's score were recorded by the composer using one of Christopher Nolan's own pocket watches. These sounds were then manipulated with synthesizers for the film's soundtrack.” 
    
  “Despite the constant presence of German bombers and shooters, German soldiers are never directly shown in the film. They only appear out of focus and in shadows in the final scenes.”
