MOrtAr 'N PesTle
I did this mind map in class. we were discussing about mortar and pestle. I found crazy idea which is mortae and pestle can be used for medical. especially for connecting cracked bones.
and other my crazy idea is mortar and pestle can be used for killing dracula. I think this thing will be done in the movie making. not in reality.

NORMAN FOSTER

Norman Foster was born on June 1, 1935 at Manchester, England. When, he was a child his father was a shop manager in a poor area of Manchester, later a security guard and a manual worker in a factory. His parents sent him to private and grammar school. Then, when he was 21 years old, he won numerous of scholarships and fellowship to Yale University where he gained a masters degree in architecture and where he got to know Richard Rogers. They became very close
friends and in 1963 he worked with him and sue Rogers, Gorgie Wolton and his wife, Wendy foster,
as a member of 'team 4' until foster associates was found in 1967 (now known as foster and partners). Since its inception the practice has received more than 190 awards and citations for excellence and has won over 50 national and international competitions.

He is very popular because of his thinking of building to high technology, but it has to be considered to the surrounding. Many decades ago, most of buildings are built not in high technology. But, now as a very popular issue of global warming, architect and designers must designing building which not produced pollution to surrounding. So, Norman Foster and partners designing building with consider the sun movement, wind direction, in order to building can get cooling and heating system naturally (without any cold and heat electrical system).

Well, after seeing the latest great block buster movie called “Inception” I realize that the director of the movie is someone I really admire, even before this movie. Christopher Nolan was truly a genius of our time, he wrote screenplay, plot, direct, visual effect everything about the movie.

My personal favorite is “ Memento” (2000), I would say the first good movie that I saw in the beginning of the new millenium. Critical Thinking is the key to enjoy all his masterpieces, the idea that he visualize in to the big screen will amazed many audiences. A twisted plot, complete with a suspense, and also out of the box ending. The story might be really simple, but he visualize it with a twist, which make something so simple into a truly complicated beauty.

There are also many great director and writer, such as Steven Speilberg , James Cameron, David Finchner or J.J. Abrams, but Nolan has successfully surpassed them, in term of storyline and the beauty of the twist.

I would suggest that you check his work, I assure that you will enjoy all the mindblowing cinematography. You should check movies like :

Doodlebug

Memento

The Prestige

Inception

You should also see the DC favorite superhero movie he directed, “Batman Begins” and “The Dark Knight”.
