As a movie enthusiast and history buff, I recently had the pleasure of discussing battle scenes from popular films with Insider, including the epic battles from “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy. In particular, I was captivated by the battle sequences in “The Return of the King,” and surprisingly found myself praising them for their historical authenticity.

One scene that immediately comes to mind is the iconic “Ride Now” moment from the Ride of the Rohirrim. However, as an ancient historian, I must clarify that the action where Aragorn slaps the lances with his sword is not something that occurred historically; this dramatic touch was actually improvised by Bernard Hill for that specific scene. While it may not be rooted in historical fact, I must admit that I can’t help but wish it were true!

A portrait represents a fleeting instant in someone’s life. It is the process of condensing – capturing the intricacies and paradoxes of a person into a single, static depiction. Their past, their present, and their future are all encapsulated within it. Yet, a portrait can also serve as a medium for projection: an artistic platform to convey feelings or ideas. This sentiment was expressed by Champion Europe in an Instagram post, echoing the theme of the exhibition displayed in its entranceway.

Carrie Underwood faced criticism when she chose to sing “America the Beautiful” at Donald Trump’s second inauguration ceremony on Monday. Known for avoiding politics in the past, Underwood had expressed negative sentiments towards Trump before, which left some of her fans taken aback and displeased by her decision. During her performance, the musical track accompanying her failed (as seen in the video below). After an uncomfortable minute of silence, she asked the crowd for help with the lyrics, then bravely continued to sing the song without any backing music. While Underwood’s unwavering professionalism was commended, some viewers took to social media to comment on her visibly strained performance.

Originally unveiled in 2018, the film “Upgrade” was penned and helmed by Leigh Whannell, with Logan Marshall-Green portraying the character Grey Trace, a technophobe who, despite residing in the technologically advanced year of 2046, experiences an attack that claims his wife’s life and leaves him paralyzed. A wealthy inventor subsequently proposes a remedy for Trace in the shape of an artificial intelligence implant named STEM, which promises to augment his body and enable him to exact retribution. However, one must ponder whether the billionaire and STEM are as they appear to be.
