Éric Serra - (born on September 9, 1959) is a French composer. He has often worked on the movies of Luc Besson.

Éric Serra's father Claude was a famous French songwriter in the 1950s and '60s, and, as such, Éric was exposed to music and its production at a young age. His mother died when he was just seven years old. In the early '80s, Serra met director Luc Besson and was asked to score his first movie L'Avant dernier (1981). Serra has scored all of Besson's directed movies to date and several that Besson has written such as Wasabi.

In 1995, Éric Serra was chosen to compose the score to the James Bond film GoldenEye, which was quite an avant-garde soundtrack compared to previous Bond films. It met with mixed reviews from film critics.

Occasionally, and mainly due to his album released by this name, he is known in credits as RXRA (pronounces like his name). An example is Little Light of Love on the Fifth Element OST, it is performed by RXRA.

We’re excited to introduce a third season of Darkroom! Our photography and history series has a whole new batch of photos to unpack for you – keep an eye out in the coming weeks for the real story of how the American bison almost became extinct, and a closer look at the most analyzed photo of all time: the famous “backyard photo” depicting John F Kennedy’s assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald. See you soon. -Coleman

But still it presents too much of a liberal point of view for my taste. The problems of the world need a point of view which can go beyond the very moderate liberal views of an outlet like Vox.

@jackbrown3985

3y↑8

@Ecléctico Iconoclasta That’s a very fair point, however it must be recognized that they’re much more moderate than many other outlets out there, such as fox, on one end, or shows like John Oliver on the other. Instead it is deprived (for the most part) of initial opinion, and instead pulls views of people, positions and policies from the material discussed, and the solutions that seem the most viable. Let me know if you agree.

@EclecticoIconoclasta

3y↑1

@Jack Brown Ezra Klein and the other founders of Vox tend to be very supportive of the leadership and main line of the liberal and neo-imperialist US Democratic party. I can well remember a particular video where Klein dedicated himself to praising Obama. That is why there is hardly any questioning by Vox of the military industrial complex or of the neoliberal economic consensus that has been supported in the last decades by both US political parties who are mostly bought completely by corporations

It has always been the case throughout the history. The uninformed public being exploited not just by the rich but also by some existing political agenda - to forward its cause, mainly, not for the interest of people, but because they see the world as a realm which works with power and in some cases, even in the present day, they just regard power as the ultimate goal. It's always about the narrative of the oppressed and the oppressor, of the divide among communities and when we highlight that, when we deem that it's always about groups versus groups (rich vs poor, gov't vs people, etc) we neglect an important narrative, a piece, where individual responsibility and capability plays. Like in this video, a comparison of a local's life in Brazil in the 60's against an immigrant's life in the US in the same era. I think we should also consider, why such poverty exist in both countries and to what degree or magnitude before we conclude and come up with that comparison. Fast forward to 2020s, I guess the poorest of the poor in developed countries is still in a more 'livable condition' (let's say that for the lack of better term) when you compare it against 'the poorest of the poor' in developing countries, like in my country.

I studied Parks in my first year at Uni, and he's an incredible photographer and storyteller. I love his images, and especially in this context, I think it's important to remember that the words are not hs, but the editors, and that he also photographed the poor and needy in America, as well as other places. I do also want to say that Ballot's images are similarly moving, I think there is a place to show the struggles of people everywhere, and you don't have to do this all at the same time.

Historically, this was a problem in Latin America and the Caribbean. Someone from outside, usually from the US or Europe would highlight one of our besetting problems, like poverty or corruption, and we would react. Not with introspection and attempts to improve, but with an anger born largely of embarrassment. So we engaged in "whataboutism" highlighting the failures of foreign socities, to show they were no better than us.
We demanded that our best features be displayed to the world, not our worst, but made little effort to really work on improving things.
Thankfully that has changed somewhat, but not everywhere.

The magazine Cruzeiro belonged to the first media magnate in Brazil, Assis Chateaubriand (a Brazilian Kane) feared by politicians for his media and political influence. At the time of the dispute over the magazines, he supported the then president Jânio Quadros. There was an economic development policy in the country and part of that policy was the idea of exporting an image of Brazil as the country of the future.

Great video and story. Being from Latin America, from my perspective I feel like a little more could be said about how the media weaponizes the good will of american progressives and liberals to "help" countries in the second and third world via policies that end up hurting those countries. As it is I feel like the video equates a little too much both magazines, and I feel like O Cruzeiro approach was quite effective. Both conservatives and liberals in the US understand the second and third world as poverty-ridden and destitute while ignoring a lot of american people and towns that have the exact same problem (although from what I gathered this blindness to the problem has started to go away in the last few years). In Latin America is still very much an open discussion and in general we react in pretty much the same way as O Cruzeiro did, we find the attitude of american progressives a tad too paternalistic and patronizing when it comes to this subject. Again, I still think this was a great video. Love this series.

I had an uncle who had a photography studio in Hell's Kitchen back in the '60's and early '70's. Back then, the "big money" for freelance photographers was taking a photo that would be used in a two- page ad in a magazine like "Life", or "Look". One day I was visiting the studio, and he said: "You want to see how I make a living?", and he pulled out a big portfolio and began leafing through it. Practically every photo was one that I'd seen used for an ad in a major magazine. My uncle Richard Santuci studied photography at RIT on the GI bill after being discharged from the USAF.

Both these photo essays are examples of white saviourism and colonialism.

They show how the cold war was an excuse for white powers (in Brasil and US in this example) to continue to colonize the world in a post-WW2 context. Photographers captured images of marginalized populations from their own point of view instead of adapting their cameras to capture their subjects own point of view. These photos are the polar-opposite of the photos taken by Lewis Hine of child-labourers in the US, where Lewis adapts his photography to depict what the child feels. Instead, these photo essays from white saviour magazines depict how the US and Brasil middle-class white population feel about children they don't even know.

"Communism" in Brazil. You know that the country had many brutal far right U.S. propped up dictatorships and never anything resembleing "communism". Lula was a center left Social Democrat who could do something because oil revenue was good. But even that was too much for the reactionary (rich) forces in Brazil. So Lula got a sham trial (the sentencing was only based on the the testimony of one man (that testimony was his get out of jail card - for another crime, mind you).
As we now know prosecutor and a judge (that meanwhile fled the country) colluded to get him into prison.

And Rousseff was impeached on a technicality. No one claimed that she was corrupt in person (but the people impeaching her are).

The wonders of "capitalism" had a LOT of time to develop Brazil.

It was a mildly center left approach that did some good for Brazil.

It would've been interesting to get the perspective of these kids decades after the story - that is if they are still alive, since they're probably in their 80's now.

Eventhough both sides didn't do justice to the principles of Journalism...I can understand the O Cruzerio's Side...These western countries left Africa, South America, India and many more in its most vulnerable state of economy, still has influence on them and the "restlessness" in these countries turns into profit for them, but in turn, labelled them as THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES exposing their poverty...Hypocrisy at its best and I forever hate western countries for colonialism🤦

@bendejo9971

Speaking of the JFK Assassination, maybe another investigative reporter could look in The Kennedy Assassinations Records Collections Act of 1992, which would’ve given full disclosure to all documents at this terrible moment. Along with all previous assassinations in the US. Yet that 25 year date , October 26 2017, hardly made a blip in the news. Maybe cross examine if there are documents from Snowden’s unauthorized release? Just a thought

@brio barb "Always have been...and sadly...probably always will be."
Not if Basic Human Decency is treated as more important than being wealthy. Of course, that would require the majority of people to realize that most of the powerful wealthy people are Sociopaths that need to be "addressed"...

Rich people pay poor people for their service.and those poor people have some opportunity’s to become rich just like the rich people you’re going after. And not all people are the same so if you go after all of the rich and powerful people it won’t much solve the problem.

California also had many immigrants from Oklahoma during the 1930's. The same way these immigrants from Puerto Rico moved to NY. A long way of saying that Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens.

I find it interesting that the comments are riddled with the same type arguments that the magazines used, finger pointing and "get-back". They both used poverty to political ends instead of highlighting the roots of it. It was theatre, from Rio to New York.

La visita de Kennedy a Venezuela fue increíble, aunque Betancourt (Que es el presidente con el que se le ve firmando algo), era comunista, quizás no como la Unión Soviética, pero tenía ideas comunistas y socialistas. Muchos critican la intervención de Estados Unidos en Latinoamérica para erradicar el comunismo, y de hecho yo agradezco eso, América debe estar alineada en armonía, siempre respetando las demás ideologías, pero compartiendo una sola visión.

Trust me, the difference between countries for the poor is HUGE. Being homeless in the USA is NOT the same as being homeless in Brazil, or in Germany or any other country. Countries have different welfare policies and that plays a huge role into how “poor” people experience poverty. Unless you were a homeless person in Brazil to compare, please don’t say things you don’t understand.

From what I was able to find online, he stayed 2 years in the US with an adoptive family for his treatment, but then they sent him back to Brazil to stay with his family. From the donations the magazine received his family was able to get a house but far from living a wealthy life still. Flavio went on to have multiple entry level jobs throughout his life. He still speaks good English which he learned during his time in Denver, and kept in touch with the photographer until he passed away.

As of 2019, he was still alive and turned 70. He was asked about that time in his life and said “It’s God’s choice. He made you the way you are. I am the way he wants me.”

Talking about history that was in a different nation than you are attributing this information to and associating it with everyone who shares even a little similarities with the information doesn’t help any problems.
