The market for phones is expanding, and the possibilities are overwhelming. It isn’t always easy to find a phone suited for you, since the salesassistant in the store always will sell you the most expensive they’ve got. I have therefore found 3 phones for different needs and also varoius in price, so you don’t have to pay a fortune if you just want a phone that’s able to make calls.
The first phone is a classic Nokia, which is made with no unneccesary applications. This phone is ideal for older people who don’t want to have a fancy phone, they don’t even know how to manage. It’s also great if you want your kid to have a phone you can afford that they lose. It’s the nokia 2730, which is actually the most popular phone at the market today (not including smartphones.)
The second phone is a smartphone. It’s from Sony Ericsson and is small and convinient, still featuring all the good qualities you need if you use your phone alot. It’s the sony ericsson x8, it’s quite cheap comparred to other phones with the same qualities and very user-friendly as all phones from se. Can definately be recommended.
The last phone is a bit more pricy, but for a cause. The samsung galaxy s is a bit larger than most phones because of the impressive display which makes galaxy ideal for watching and recording vidoes. The phone has all qualities you can ask of a modern phone. A more informative describtion of all phones are to be found if you take a look at the links.
There are a wide range of different styles of French comedian styles and performances and for a unique one man show you cannot help but look to the stylings of Dany Boon. His self appointed stage name is meant to reflect the historical American figure of Daniel Boone, although his given name is Daniel Hamidou. He was born in 1966 in Armentières, France, which is right on the Belgian border.
His background as a comedian starts as a mime working on the streets of Paris but he quickly was spotted and featured on several television shows starting in the early 1990s. His work has included comedy works in specific French dialects, many which are poking fun of the political and cultural prejudices seen between different regions of the country. This first movie, aptly named Bienvenue chez les Ch’tis or Welcome to the Sticks, became the second highest viewed film in French cinemas, with the record holder being the classic Titanic.
Not only is Dany Boon a writer, actor and director he is also a producer and continues to provide a wide variety of shows as a comedian. As of 2008 Boon became the highest paid actor in all of Europe, earning about thirty three million dollars in that year alone.
Film lovers around the world will certainly know this prolific French writer and producer. Luc Besson, born in Paris in 1959 has written, directed, produced and created over 50 different films, most which have a substantial international following.
Perhaps Besson’s best known films internationally include the science fiction thriller The Fifth Element staring Bruce Willis and Chris Tucker, as well as the 1990 version of Nikita and several movies staring Jet Li including the Kiss of the Dragon films. One of the most acclaimed movies this French writer produced with Le Grand Bleu, which became a cult classic but was heavily downplayed by the critics.
In addition to all his writing and directing, Luc Besson is also considered to be one of the founders of the Cinéma du look style of film production in the 1990s. This style, based on incorporating various styles and elements into one film to create greater visual impact and slightly less focus in on a particular political view or moralistic story. He has also created the Arthur collection of movies and books, the last one Arthur and the Invisibles which was made into a block buster movie combining both animation and part live action.
As with many famous film directors and writers Claude Sautet was as student of the arts from a very early age. Born in 1924 in a small Parisian suburb called Montrouge he first found his interest in art, sculpting and painting but quickly moved into formal study of film. In his early career Claude Sautet worked as a television producer but then in 1969 he became internationally recognized with his own film, Les Choses de la Vie, which started Romy Schnieder.
Claude Sautet continued to write and direct a number of plays and films on his own, but he also wrote for other directors as well. One of his most famous movies, released in 1974 was Vincent, Paul, François, et les Autres, which featured stars such as Gérard Depardieu and Yves Montand among others.
The awards claimed by this wonderful French film director and writer included the Silver Lion award from the Venice Film Festival and two César Awards for Best Director for Un Coeur en hiver and Nelly et Monsieur Arnaud. Although film director and writer Claude Sautet passed away from cancer in 2000 he is still considered to be a visionary and leader in French film on an international level.
French theatre and the actors, actresses, dancers, comedians and playwrights that created the memorable plays that the country is so famous for has a long and very well known history. Just a few of the very famous French historical playwrights include Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, more commonly known by his stage name of Molière, as well as Antonin Artaud and Georges Feydeau. From these historical playwrights there also continues to be a wealth of writers of French origin such as Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt and Jean-Pierre Martinez.
In addition to playwrights, France is also famous for the wonderful historical theatres that are still in use today, many which hosted plays by the individuals listed above. Perhaps one of the best known of the old style of French Theatres is the Moulin Rouge, which has been in operation since 1889. This theatre is actually the original theatre to host the CanCan, which is still a very popular activity and attraction. The Comédie-Française is perhaps the true modern historic French theatre and prides itself on plays by Racine and Molière in the original French language.
French theatre has provided audiences for hundreds of years with plays of a variety of styles. The most popular in the Middle ages where religious dramas based on biblical stories. From there humanist comedy, tragedy, monologues and dramatic plays continue to make French theatre some of the most appreciated and respected around the world.
