my summary of gone with wind top film

Not only was the "old" film "gone with the wind" 1939, top ranking, over any other film in its era, but we can estimate that it sold most tickets ever indicating it  was the most popular film ever. no film ever sold that many tickets even after it although "star wars" 1977 ranked second. the 1939 film was an adaptation of  Margaret Mitchell's 1936 novel Gone With the Wind 

note considering  strong dollar currency cheap tickets the profit indicates we can estimate "over 200 million tickets" also consider in u.s. at the time there were barely a hundred million adults [total 130 million] indicating many in u.s. many bought tickets twice or more.

my summary of gita [1+2]

   intro to gita: gita  fills almost 50 pages with 18 chapters. it is located inside book six of mahabharata. it is important kuz it contains the message from the hindu god vishnu in a human body named krishna, ergo until he talks only briefly:

  intro to message until 2,11 brif summary til words of god: first chapter tells that kuru and pandu were each gathered to battle.  king dhrit' asked what happened at the battlefield. his sage said that people talked and blew conch shells. told that  arjuna had a dialog with [a hindu god in a body named] krishna. arjuna asked how can he kill his family? [end chapter one with question which is corrected and wrong so better not to quote the wrong question except to show krishna corrected the error about hell.]   brifly til message ch,2,1-10, Summary Arjuna spoke from mercy, but Krishna replied his deeds are same as the weak. Arj' said reasons not to kill his relatives saying i cant enjoy kingdom by killing family and teachers so will not fight them.sanjaya told the reply of kr',  [end brif summary til words of god].

  Summary of message:  

2,12-26:  kr. explained the life moves to a second body [2,13] and "death only ends the body" 2,18 the idea summarized is: battle will not kill your family kuz spirit survives and cannot be harmed.  before your relatives were born they always existed. no time when they did not exist infinitely and same in future they exist infinitely unable to harm nor destroy. when body die usually life to another body source gita 2,13 in book 6 mahabarta section 26.

souls does not and cannot die. same as a person changes clothing the soul moves out of dead corpse to new body. the four elements besides space cannot change the soul.

2,26-32 even at death "birth is certain" only unseen but continue living the life cannot be harmed nor slain it is imperishablle.  you as a warrior family must do duty[2,31] to fight in battle. if not do your purpose you will not reach celestial realm [instead other body birth as 2,27].

32-45 

kr' explains either way benefit. if die "on the battlefield then  attain the heavenly planets," for doing purpose as warrior and if not, "you will conquer and enjoy the earthly kingdom." notably he warns "scorn"  if not battle, correcting arj' wrong question in chapter one, not of pain after death, but of "scorn" the act of the weak people will "consider you a coward." also "devotional service" differs and surpasses the veda, by working your purpos [war for warrior] for the purpose "not for the fruit" that is wiser.

 46-3,1 ideas:     abandon all attachment to success or failure.  51  do devotional service this  frees from the "cycle of birth and death".    mind 53  trance of self-realization, cease 55 actions for your happiness, desires goal 56 indifference to misery, not bother,detach from joy and fear and emotions. goal 57 not rejoice when he obtains good, nor lament when he obtains evil  real indifference for "steady". my response "steadiness is a dumb goal" not feel misery is the happy state but not feel elation.    restrict and cease pleasures " fixes his consciousness upon Me"  61, attachment is bad [cant release from body but if not happen anyway attachment is harmless and even fun] lust? 64 goal free attachment" 

desires 70 not disturb to reach internal peace, dont try to satisfy desires.  s

  my conclusion although some is true and we should not have intense emotions we should also have emotions and "not suppress our nature" therefore a "creator" of emotions would not demand the "indifference" described  and this book is wrong direction if we were created with emotions. also need but lack coroberation. this "infamy" cororberates "cut life" but its contents not corroberated but problematic.

end ch. 2 

debate "skills" vs' solving arguments

 one of the few DECENT ideas in the jewish talmud is the idea of quoting sources.

but what can we extrapolate from any source? any addition is based on the source but not in the source... so what about "debate techniques"?

the idea of debate school is HARMFUL because people can use CLAIMS and debate methods to promote both falsehoods and harmful ideas

imagine the absurd scenario: i am in an airport and a man approaches me explaining he is from canada. while we wait for our FLIGHT the canadian wants to talk about the MOST important issue, health. granted. we cant function when we are sick and dying.

the canadian then lists many flaws about american healthcare... each example never happened to me but that is "the exception"... as if the canadian investigated? he went and made "a study at EACH clinic" to know my experience was the exception?? he is in canada i am the one experiencing the cancellation of "cease" insurance and COERCED into changing insurance provider no choice and other experiences, other flaws but not the ones the canadian lists... but he uses DEBATE METHODS to claim he knows without investigating more than the locals because "your experience" is "no proof" kuz you are the exception... that is debate methods. claims are empty i can "claim" solomon had historical ownership of china... if i use debate methods on the denier, i can "win" the debate... about a falsehood or worse a harmful idea. 

case in point: as d.a. kammila harris was "skilled' at debating and convincing the  the jury to vote guilty.... until cops CAUGHT the one who did it. and she is the one biden incompetently chose as vice president.... anyway being skilled in debate can lead to harm by using claims.

what about facts? two newspapers can report different numbers for unemployemnt in the city... then when trump quotes EITHER source the "fact-checkers" say "he lied again see other source",

that is not fact checking.

the key to solving arguments is QUALIFIED source not debate techniques which can be used to harm falsely accused as in case of harris and other harms and falsehoods.

my summary sound of music 1965

the story in the video "sound of music" originated in the  book "The Story of the Trapp Family Singers" by Maria von Trapp. The book was published in 1949. Next, the Broadway musical, "The Sound of Music", based on the book,  premiered on Broadway in 1959. later in 1965 it was adapted as a video.  The film sold around 142 million tickets (estimate) ranking third most popular of films between 1937 until 2019, (only outranked by "Gone with the Wind, 1939" and "Star Wars, 1977".)

    The film tells the story about a young woman who leaves an Austrian convent to watch seven children of a widower kuz ma died. The children show lack of proper discipline. However, through activities related to music she inspires the children to cooperate and to behave properly. The setting is the Historical background of the Nazi influence.

popular or succesful films

 

popular films and financialy successful films

ever since the year 1965, when the dollar was ten times stronger than now, the dollar continued to weaken. 

considering the strong dollar, we discover that nothing after the year 2000 could compete with old videos before 2000 kuz dollar weaker. we can only compare estimated tikit sales

the ten most successful videos, all ten were before the year 2000 in a different financial era and only one in the 1990's in top ten as i  will quote for purpose of tikt sales. so i begin with  financial era roughly 2000-2020

the most successful from 2000-2020 was star wars 7 force awakens, no new one has passed it but it passed every other since 2000 despite the fact that in 2015 the dollar was weaker than the dollar in 2000 when stronger dollar in year 2000 selling tickets. for example in 1999 before dollar weakened further, 85 million tickets earned less than 108 million ticjets in 2015 despite the dollar weaker in 2015. so star wars 7, 20i5 wins star wars 1999 both in financial success and in tickets.

top 1, s,w,f,a, 2015.  108mt it would rank ninth [films from 1937 til 2020]  based on tikt sales, and less than star wars 1977 143mt and others. second most tickets:

second 2,  a,e 2019 98.8mt endgame more tikts than avatar and this major success was far less tickets than sw1977 143mt

third 3,  96mt avatar 2009, 

fourth 4, on the edge of 2000 based on year number, star wars phantom menace 1999 ,85mt kuz the only in top 20 in that year. considering more tikts than both jw2015 and avengers 2012.

fifth of top five "jurasic world 2015" ranking 25 by adjusting for inflation 79mt less than s,w,p,m

part 2

when we see that the top five in this financial era all less than 100 tickets... besides swfa, they were less popular than e.t. 1982

in order of tickets

gone with the wind, 1, 1939 200 million tikits est. most tkts "gone with the wind"202 million

star wars ,2, 1977. 143m t star wars in era of stronger dollar 

sound of music, 3,1965 less tikits than sw, 142 mt

ten commandments 4, 1956  131mt

tied for fifth: jaws 1975,  titanic 1997 each  128mt, when dollar twice as strong as 2020, each more tikits than e.t.

tied for sixth: e.t.,6,1982 dollar 3 times stronger than now 124mt, same as dr zhivago 1965 when dollar ten times stronger than 2020 124mt 

exorcist, 7, 1973 , 103mt 

snow white tenth ranking 8, 1937 77mt

how many of top ten after 1990? only one but 9 nine were a different era.

even 1997 dollar twice as strong as now so different era before 1999

by decades:

1930-9 two successes

1940-9 none more profitable than 1956 despite adjusting inflation only one that era 1939-1965

1965 two, 1970 three , 1980 one, 1990 one  in top ten when adjusting

 inflation for financial success

mahabarata summary books 8-18

 next 8 kar-na when karna led in place of drona its 69 sections tell defeating tripura, swan symbol story, aswat slayd pandya, yud' dueld karna, bhima slayd dus' , arj' dueld and killed karna the current leader. salya led kuru insted.

book 9 salya its 59 sections tell: car battles, yud' killed salya, saha' kild sakuni, dur' lay in lake til insults drew him out to battle or surrender. bhima club-dueld dur' til b' broke dur' thighs. 

  book ten sauptika ,its 18 sections tell troops avenge dur' and drona with a sinful shameful night raid unbefitting kshatri killed foe in sleep by distracting gard and entering camp and stealthily cowardly murdering undefendded sleepers. rudra is a three eyed giant rak' worshipd in veda  but not a supreme if s'iva supreme.

the raiders murderd arj' sons n all drap' sons n more, in sleep defenseless no valor but cowardly, kuz awake could not. [this is a sin for ksatria who only kill with valor as described elsewhere] killed many panchalas too only arj' n his four bros in a different place survived. kr' warnd to sleep separet.  ma mournd her sons n relatives. great pain.  bhima took mace weapon [sword with many points around end or spiky ball at end] . aswat' s. of drona fired celestial weppin, arj'  used a celestial wp' to stop the blast.  took as' gem, gave to comfort drap' 

next 11  its 27 sections tell that king dhrit' broke iron statue , n went to fild saw dead, wail [violating gita], burnt corpses 

29p

now internal flaw author violates gita too.

santi 12 its 339 sections tell mourn. bhishma taut many deeds for finak release. 

annus' 13 its 146 sections tell rules and deeds, about charity to whom, ceremonies, then bh' went to spirit place, next 14 

 aswam' 14 its 103 sections tell about gold treasure wealth of a dead king. kr' revived a burnt man, arj' more battles, led by the horse, kill horse [also veda] mongoose brout message.  

p. 30 book 15 asram' the 42 sections tell: king dhrit' left throne to forest with group including ma of arjuna named kunti and pritha. dhrit' saw the spirits of his slain sons. note: this reward for kuru warriors mentioned here refering to book 18, coulda been convincining arjuna to fyt, not spare kin family kuz will go to joy. still yud' response to seeing harmful dur' in plenty indicates would also be humanly diffiult to cause that joy,  so either way not kill, so kr' wisely said "change body" for not truly killing so apt for ksatriya warrior. while  other 3 and even warrior only in battle but not "harm any creature" rejecting root of hindu in veda cook horse and ramayana gods approve animal killing.

dhrit' enjoyed "highest fruit" of actions, maybe karma=result. vidura had "success" called "most meritorious state" as described in book 18. in contrast budha stopd rebirth as human and also stopd existing by joining light, join not seperate, so that goal is the "punishment of wicked to stop" in rambam. which is judgement? god judge does that to evil to end, ergo not for worthy and not a goal to do budha ideas to reach. anyway budha himself taught a time limit from 6th century bc or fifth 500 years so if obey teacher then "ended" already so obey and find next system, jesus era, and if say "budha wrong" then this guatama b. not good source.

sanjaya, the narrator to king dhrit', went to blessd state. nar' told yudh' the yadu=vrishnis died. next book 16 named maushala. 

its 8 sections tell: a wise wizard cursed yadu heroes who drank til "inebriated" blocking reasoning killd each other while drunk. they saw krishna threw eraka grass that killed so they threw it too, killing each other kuz it killed the victims.

kr' died, his body containing god vishnu stopd living so v' returned to celestial realm. arjuna went to the yadu city felt sad for their death kuz not in city [violating first teaching from krishna in gita]. funeral burning corpses including krishna's corpse.

after warrior men died, arjuna left that city with women and young and old, and warrior age cripples of this race called yadu. men took the ladys and arjuna was too weak to protect them. his hands were weak. even celestial weapons including bow from  agni faild. drama as arj' felt sad he could not save. he separated to be alone. next 17 book. the great  "pras' " meaning  journey.

its 3 sections tell: king arjuna with brothers left throne, 31

agni met by sea, so arj' returned to agni his celestial bow. yud traveled with brothers "linked to god" over mountains until they died except yud'. yud left corpses continuing journey.  next last book 18 named svarga about celestal realm.

a celestial car came. yud wanted dog to escort him up. after arguing, the dog uncovered it was "god dharma" [of justice also named yama god of pain of dead, same one.]

the car flew yud, body alive, up to celestial realm. yud saw the harmful dur' enjoy and felt pain that evil had plenty joy. he asked to see arjuna.  a guide led him to the place of pain from heat and thorns and bee venom, he heard arjuna there and agreed to stay so others would suffer less from god yama of dead and judge. then gods uncoverd the deception not truly arjuna, just place of sinners and pain. [arjuna feard this in gita, if not reborn go here. other faiths teach the truth that god knows and taut: no place of pain, the punishment is "prevenr enjoy" stop exist" one true detail in bad source rambam kuz god judge knows and MADE EFFORT sent me to reveal not to accept this nor similar wrong idea in book luke and revelation.  nor to accept reborn second birth in another body but insted "after one death judged" one true detail in bad source book hebrews, not only after arjuna era but never were sent to other body birth nor place pain kuz god  MADE EFFORT to send me to identify which details are true.

yud now washed away his human physical body in celestial river, went to place of plenty joy earned by battling as a warrior [as defined by his birth to pandu the king in warrior caste. as described in gita which, although logical not truly occur to mortals.]

their in celestial realm he lived in "joy" this ENDS  the 18 etinth book same number as days of the pandava battle. so we summarized 4 books here until last etinth book that describe th idea after death if not reborn by earning "liberation" free from rebirth in contrast to budha claiming change to light and stop existing as a separate life hindu claims live separate with no physical body and this detail is true kuz judge made effort to send me to to tell you yes joy if and only if CAUSE JOY for other people. joy for joy. but those who inflict pain and ignore the baby pain in infant circumcision both the pain of cut same as any knife cut and the DAYS OF HEALING pain... such cruelty will not enjoy the joy for joy as the judge sent me to warn you. certainly lose joy.

endnote:  flaw krishna claims to be highest and destroyer in gita yet he is vishnu as sent into krishna... and if same one then isana??    have some tea.

when comment claims supreme not  translation kuz not  based on bagvan "god" but based on ch, 7

term vasu deva is "causer" of all causes but not maha yet also claims highest. so maybe shiavas reject gita?

divine is deva and the causer god is vasu. 

hint all city virtue?? 1, 64 p. 124 hint then rebirth but as evil grew die once n judged 

there hindu virtue is described. 124p. 

mabarta 8,9
