An Anxious World: Children – Part 2 - Duration: 28:33.

I use this when I'm stressed or something. There's a charm hidden inside,
and it's right there, and it's a little fish.
And this... I got it for my birthday, and it used to have eyes and a mouth,
but then it rubbed off, and it's a lion.

What does anxiety mean to you?
It's like when you have emotions about what's going on around you.
Yeah, absolutely. Emotions. We have lots of emotions about what's going on around us, eh?
And you get, like, really nervous and you're worried about what's gonna happen.
OK, nervous and worried.
And when you have butterflies in your stomach and you feel, like, really scared to do something.
OK, yeah, sometimes you do feel it physically. Yeah, you get anxious about it.
Yep. When you're presenting.
Like, if you're doing a speech or something.
So, when you're practising it at home in front of your parents,
not quite so anxious, but then— CHILDREN: No.
And then what happens when you get out in front of the class? Butterflies go everywhere.
(LAUGHS) They just burst out. It's like bubbles up inside you.
Even thinking about it can— Yeah.
I try not to think about it until I'm doing it.
Right, cos even thinking about it can, sorta, build up that anxiousness and that nervousness.
Yeah. Yeah, just kinda think you're in your own little bubble.
Yeah. Everyone's invisible.
And that's what we see a lot in the literature is that overthinking — word that you said.
Anxiety is sometimes about not being able to turn off that problem solving,
so you just keep trying to problem-solve and keep trying to problem-solve.
And sometimes you can't solve the problem. Cos words go all through your mind.
You're just like, 'Oh no, what's gonna happen? What's gonna— Are they gonna laugh
'if I'm gonna go and do this or this or this.' Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then you just kinda gotta clear your mind and just think you're alone.
Mm-hm. Just think everyone's invisible. Right, yeah, that's your strategy?
No one will make fun of you. Right. Yeah.
So feeling anxious is often about reaching out to our friends and our loved ones and our family.
It just helps you to stop feeling alone, eh. ALL: Yeah.
Sometimes anxiousness is just about feeling alone.
Anxiety is, like, more about how it's yourself, but as soon as you tell somebody your problem,
it, like, the weight comes off your shoulders a bit. ALL: Yeah.
And it doesn't feel as bad. Hmm.
When you— Cos usually it's like writing. When you say it out loud, you find your mistakes.
So if you say your problem, you might think, 'Oh, no, it's not actually that bad.'
Or, 'Oh, yeah, there is a solution.' Yes, OK.
Right, so what's the rules?
Um, we need to...
The children go first. What? Yeah. Yes.
I don't— I need to set out the wild cards. The what?
Children always come first.
They're completely opposite. We've got two kids. Mieke is—
She's 8. ...an 8-year-old now. Yeah.
Just had her eighth birthday. Yeah.
And Alex who's 6.
And they're complete opposites.
Which is fantastic, so...
Alex is pretty outgoing and easy, and... Yeah.
Just whatever comes, happens. He's cruisy as you like.
Mieke's not. Mieke's pretty anxious.
Yeah, she's a perfectionist, but she also... Yeah.
Will give up too early, so that's not a good mix. (LAUGHS)
She'll try something once, and when it doesn't go perfect...
Yeah, and then she gets pretty upset at herself that she hasn't done it, and she worries,
and that's when the hair-pulling comes out.
READS: 'How many sides does an octagon have?'
What's an octa— Oh. A shape.
Eight. Well done. Good job. Nailed it.
You got it right. I thought— At first I thought it was six, but, no, it's a bigger number,
so I just— Yeah, well done. So you just did that.
Mieke started pulling her hair before she was 2.
She started going bald on one side, and I sorta thought,
'Oh, that's a bit strange. She wasn't bald before.'
And I watched her, and she'd sit and she'd use her fingers, and she'd just wrap them and rip
and wrap and rip, and there'd be hair all over her pillow. You could hear the ripping.
It was that bad. Oh, it was awful.
There was— Doesn't seem to be a trigger, like a straight timeline of something,
but she did have quite a traumatic start to life,
and then she was quite sick as a baby.
And looking back, it was so obvious why. Yeah.
She had so many— Well, there was the earthquake obviously. She was born— Three weeks.
She was the harbinger of the earthquake almost. Not quite but—
She was 3 weeks old when the earthquakes happened. And I was put to sleep to have her.
(SIREN HOWLS)
That was a bit of a stressful time,
and then she was diagnosed with failure to thrive.
She got pneumonia, and then we had the second earthquakes,
and then in that time we lost our house and I lost my job.
(SIREN HOWLS)
That's where, clearly, things were very stressed. Like it took—
Mieke and I were in the city centre next to the CTV building.
I remember standing in the middle of the road holding her, thinking my baby's covered in dust,
and there shouldn't be this dust, and what am I supposed to do now?
And there was just clouds and screaming and sirens and noises.
And it took us eight hours to get to Stephen.
There was a lot of people who helped us, which was really amazing.
And had gone home to our house, but had had to wade through liquefaction to get Mieke's medication.
It was waist-deep just getting back to the old house.
Welcome to life, Mieke.
The expression often used is 'build a lifetime in the first 1000 days.'
Your brain will take what it experiences in the first 1000 days
as a good indication of what your life's likely to be like for the rest of your lifespan
and give you a brain ready for a lifetime full of what you experienced in the first 1000 days.
Now, we see that especially in Christchurch, and that's understandable
that we'd have a higher percentage because of the earthquake,
and if you understand the first 1000 days and how you're adapting to that environment,
if you were born just after the earthquake, you've been adapting to a trauma environment.
That's why Scandinavian countries put— spend all their taxes in the first 1000 days.
It's why they pay the parent to stay at home in the first— 80% of their salary
to stay at home in the first year.
It's not just a warm, fluffy thing about babies. They build less prisons; they have less suicide;
they actually ultimately spend less money by investing more money in the first 1000 days.
(SIREN HOWLS)
(PEOPLE YELL)
And looking back now, I'm like, 'Oh my goodness, there was so much that happened to her in the first...
'1000 days of her life that...' Especially, yeah.
Surprised that she functions at all to be fair.
I'd had a car accident, and it was quite bad, and I was, um...
There was lots of court and police and things, and so she saw that, and she worried for a long time.
When she started school, I wouldn't pick her up.
(SCREAMS)
In that time, I got made redundant and there was lots going on.
So it was probably a really stressful time for us. Yeah.
Let alone being a 6-month-old baby who was already sick and seeing specialists.
It's a bit difficult trying to be a normal family in those times. Yeah.
But even outside of Christchurch, we have more anxious children, and I think that is because...
You know, and it's speculation now as to why we have more anxious children,
but I think a huge part of it has got to be a lack of— we lost an at-home parent.
You know, when you look at risk and resilience factors — resiliency factors are the things
that are gonna make your child turn out well.
We're making pancakes for breakfast. So quickly you make pancakes?
OK, what do we need for this? Water. Milk!
'Mil-kuh'?
We had a fatal flaw in...
I think cos the thing I always wanted to be was a dad,
so, yeah, whanau time is really important to me.
I think cos once you've got a strong family unit, then wherever you are, no matter how spread out you are,
and no matter how far apart you are, they essentially know you're there in an instant
for each other emotionally, and that's really what it's about, hmm.
But I really enjoy the times when I get all the kids together.
And the moko together at the same time.
Little bit— Little bit gluggy.
To describe my dad in one word — I'd probably say different.
I think, sort of, growing up, everyone said,
'Oh, you're like your dad. You guys are quite similar,'
but then I'm sorta like the rugby player, sort of, what you think of,
and Dad's very much the drama, sort of, person.
And I guess you sorta correlates that over to work as well.
If you've ever seen him go talk, he's always quite expressive.
...and be introduced to the topic.
So, I spent, like, 14 years working as a child counsellor, working with kids in therapeutic settings,
and that was mainly kids with extreme behaviour and kids that had experienced trauma.
It was the 1990s, and a lot of the information about the brain had started to come through
really thick and fast in the 1990s. That's what that first talk was about with the first 1000 days.
What we learned in the 1990s is that the human brain is genetically and biologically designed
to interact with the environment in the first 1000 days of its existence
to see what sort of brain it's gonna need for the rest of its life.
Down here, I think we've got attached to your hoverboard.
My family feed my mahi because, in lots of ways, my family are my mahi.
You know, like nurturing and how to bring the best out of children and how to reach potential
and, even as a counsellor, conflict resolution. Like, all of that is in the family,
so I think because I had children young, I think I'd become—
I started practically and then added the theory and the academic research,
cos I was already— You know, a teenage— I was a dad when I started my university studies.
I think my children have been a huge part of my journey, because they've kept it real for me the whole time.
It's always been about, 'Well, what does that mean in real life?'
And I think that's a lot of what my job is now is taking that complex academic stuff and saying,
'Well, what does this mean in real life?'
I think a lot of that's down to my children and that practical experience.
Well done! Yay!
(SPEAKS MAORI)
Oh, ka pai! (LAUGHS)
(SPEAKS MAORI)
I like reading a lot, and there's lots of books down there. Um...
My bed's very comfy.
And we only painted—
We only moved into my house last year, in January.
We're gonna do some baking. How do I do it?
Well, there's the instructions just over here. We're gonna start with the flour anyway.
Control over her food, that's a big one. Yeah, definitely.
Especially as she's gotten older, she's realised that she can control food and just choose not to eat.
That's her control in life. If she feels out of control in everything else, she will control her diet.
Like, her favourite food is rice, and then she likes vegetables and whatnot.
But as soon as you make fried rice and mix it together, nah. She won't touch it.
That's out of her control. She doesn't like... Cos she wants them separate.
So she can control what to eat. It's really quite bizarre.
She's very, um— She like— When she chooses what to eat,
it will be if she's in that phase of using that to feel better about herself,
it will be bread, rice, pasta — anything white — and it can't be—
Noodles. Yeah, anything with flavouring, she won't touch.
I just don't want to make an issue with food, so we've tried really hard not to,
and I really hope as a teenager that she knows food is for fuel,
to help her grow and to help her learn
and not to control how you feel about your body.
Mix it all up. It looks like manure.
I guess, we don't know any different, do we?
I can see different with Alex. (CHUCKLES) Yeah, we can, but...
Raising her, there is no difference. She's Mieke. She's always been... slightly anxious,
and you just— I guess that changes our parenting style maybe.
I'm a little bit more mindful of it in regards to what I say to her,
and if she is having a tantrum, I give her a few minutes,
and then I find the best approach is to just sit down and have a Daddy-Mieke talk,
and we just sit down, talk about how she's feeling, and that often gets the job done.
Doesn't it? Yeah, whereas as she won't talk to me.
She needs a lot more time if it's me around. Yeah.
And I'm not sure why.
She will eventually talk to me, but she prefers to speak to you when she's feeling...
Yeah. Like that.
Just have a cuddle and a big hug and just have a yarn about how she feels and what we can do to, you know,
make her feel better and...
It's not ice cream. Yeah. (LAUGHS)
But more things along the lines of, you know, just— Time.
Letting— Reading a book or 'let's go outside and ride your bike for a bit'.
That's it. Well done. Hot!
Done. Look at that. Well done. Yum!
(PEACEFUL MUSIC)
It's hugely important to me. Te Reo Pakeha is also hugely important to me.
They're two aspects of my life that make up who I am,
so it's easy to facilitate Te Reo Pakeha because that's the dominate culture.
So I suppose Te Reo Maori is important to me because I want my children to grow up
in a world where that culture and that language is thriving,
where we have the diversity of multiple languages and multiple perspectives,
because I know through that diversity is where you really get human creativity
and original human thought, and that's the way of the future, really.
I'd love to take everyone into a marae-based kaupapa.
I'd like to see all of my work mould into one and that everybody gets this, um...
Because I think what's good for Maori is good for everybody,
so, yeah, I'd love to be in a Maori environment that is a holistic environment
that's about doing what education was meant to do in the first place —
helping people to reach their full potential,
and I think marae is a perfectly suited place for doing that.
Whenever people ask me, 'Oh, so why do you do this job? What is it that drives you?'
And I try to articulate it, and it just comes out sounding really cheesy and corny,
and really the truth was because most of the social workers I dealt with when I was a foster kid myself,
I thought, 'Oh, you've got no clue what to do, and it'd be so easy to come in and do it better yourself.'
So I sort of— That was a big part of the driving force, so...
Most people of this generation, especially in New Zealand and Australia,
don't fully appreciate that what that means is
'how brainy you are right now is not just driven by the genes or the whakapapa that you inherited'.
That might make up around a 50%...
In children that come from loving, secure environments where they were indulged and held in what Maori call
the ahuru mowai, that, you know, little paradise. (CHUCKLES)
Then that keeps the child's survival brain so calm because they're so, you know, looked after.
That gives them a biology or the biological information from the environment
to bring all of brain number four, this frontal cortex, online,
the brain that allows us to focus our attention, have empathy, higher intelligence — all the good stuff.
Is it easy to spot when a child is having trouble with anxiety?
No, that's not that easy to spot. It's usually their parents that's the expert on that, basically,
because they're the expert on that child. They're the one that lives with them day in, day out.
They've got an understanding of what's typical and what's now bordering into not so typical.
Often times, actually, the child just verbalises it,
and they will be telling you, 'I don't wanna do that. That scares me. That gives me a sore tummy.'
The constantly worrying and over-preparing of things,
being really adverse to any type of risk-taking, any type of new situation.
Hmm, repetitive behaviours.
We're always looking for a cluster of things, so it's very hard to just, sort of,
give a tick-box list for, you know— a tick-box list for what is anxiety.
It's about a cluster of behaviours, and it's about the subjective experience of the child,
and it's about what the parents are reporting to us.
We had to prepare Mieke this morning.
We just told her we were going out. She had a lot of questions about where we were going
and what we were doing. We just said, 'We're going to the gardens.'
She kept repeating the same question over and over. We just, kind of, said, 'We've already answered.'
And we came out— Getting to the car were a few tears.
She wasn't sure about how she felt today coming out because she wanted to stay at home and read,
and we just said, 'No, we're going out to have some fun,
and if we have a really nice time, we can get an ice cream on the way home.'
That, sort of, calmed her enough to get in the car.
WHINES: No. No.
Mieke, let's go for a walk. Let's follow this path.
No. Come on. Take my hand. No, I'm not going.
Go on, Mieke. No. Mieke.
What are you worried about?
If we stay at home, Mieke feels really comfortable, and that's her comfort zone,
so by taking her out, we give her the chance to get out of her comfort zone
and not, sort of, get her stuck in a rut.
If we just stayed at home all the time, then we do have to go out,
it would be a lot harder than it was getting out today to come to the gardens, where we go quite often.
It's just a little bit— Yeah, we don't want her to be stuck in the same place,
cos she'd just stay at home in bed all day.
Well, not in bed, but in her room, in her safe space.
Oh, we're not bringing it home, though, all right. I'm going back down.
Mieke, jump out of the garden please.
How are you feeling today? Um...
Don't really know. Just felt nervous and anxious.
And how does it make your body feel? Hmm, a little bit jumpy and want to go home.
What we get with her is in public, she is able to function.
She knows that you don't have a meltdown, and it's—
People will look at her if she's pulling her hair out, so she tries really hard,
and she'll hold it all in, and she'll behave appropriately
until we're out of, sort of, the sight of people she doesn't know,
so once we're back in the car, once we're at home is where we'll get those behaviours.
Last night, she was pulling her hair out, and actually it's shorter in the front today
because she's pulled all the front bits and ripped her fringe even more,
so it's when she's back in her safe space that we get those behaviours.
So no one would know that there's something up with her.
She is able to function as a person.
Living through the Christchurch earthquake and living in Christchurch
and seeing the ramifications of that and the increased anxiety.
Seeing the anxiety and those statistics and people being concerned about it.
I am pleased that it's being brought to people's awareness,
and I'm pleased that we're seeing the pioneering things,
like we're seeing at Waimairi primary school — and they're not the only ones doing that.
They're just the ones we happen to, you know, film at.
There's an increasing number of primary schools that are focusing on disposition,
dispositional learning, emotional intelligence — really, really well.
So it's exciting. We just need to do more.
Grab a toy!
Grab it!
We wanted to focus on developing students' dispositions towards learning
because that is what they're working on before they come to us.
So New Zealand has a world-leading early childhood curriculum called Te Whariki.
And it's recently been revised, but it's been around for a long time,
and it still has international study groups coming from overseas to look at how it works
in a New Zealand context.
And it's groundbreaking and really special because it was developed by child development experts
rather than a panel of interested... people.
It had— It's got sound neuroscience, sound child development underpinnings.
And it is mainly about giving children a wonderful disposition towards learning.
'Yeah, I can do that.'
'This is for me.' 'Yep, learning, I'm all over it.'
Which is what's needed for future success.
So all we're trying to do is implement what research tells us
about these little brains that walk in the door.
More and more now schools are focusing on pastoral care,
but I think we've got a long way to go, so, yeah,
I think our exam system that we currently have
that puts our teenagers under constant stress the whole year —
I think when I went to school, there were two periods of stress, mid-year exams and end-of-year exams.
Under the current system, that level of stress is maintained throughout the whole year,
so I think it's a perfect storm, but I don't think New Zealand manages well.
I think our focus — very clearly what the research would support me with —
is that the— our focus on only literacy and numeracy and cognitive intelligence in early childhood
is probably the major contributor to our anxiety as a teenager.
(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)
At that age, children should be playing. They should be learning to love life.
They should be learning to love themselves. They should be learning to problem solve.
That's what forms the basis. And the literature calls it social-emotional aspects.
So most early childhood curriculums in the world are social-emotional curriculums,
because they're aimed at your limbic system. The frontal cortex, the brain on top of that,
that you generally sort of move into around 7 — that's when it's centre stage —
that's got reading and writing and repetitive patterns and logic
and all the stuff that we think of as adults as being intelligent,
but you don't get a more intelligent child by doing that early.
But we have a culture in New Zealand that says, 'Get those kids ready for school.
'Sit down, literacy, numeracy, "What colour's this?" You know, "What number comes after that?"
That limits children's creativity. It limits their emotional intelligence,
and it makes them more vulnerable to anxiety and depression as teenagers.
You're actually building from Te Whariki...
a sense of belonging,
a sense of well-being,
a sense of exploration,
communication and contribution.
So they are...
ways of being which actually help you learn and function,
and they're what's built at early childhood before you get into the content,
before you hit the content, you've actually got to get the disposition towards it.
This isn't a magic land of no anxiety — particularly post quake.
But we have reductions in the number of 5-year-olds wanting to run home during their first few weeks,
which is something that happens in all schools, but it's been brought right down.
(CHILDREN CHATTER)
Have a think before you name one great thing that happened to you today,
either that you did for yourselves or you did for a friend.
Don't need to tell me. Have a think in your own head.
A great thing that helped your learning.
Here we have a mantra of we're only gonna work on the things that we can change.
We can't actually change society's rise in anxiety, but what we can do
is make careful study of how children and adults react when anxious
and learn to deescalate, to calm, and it doesn't have to be, like,
the whole programme design, which I've talked about. It's a big part of it is preventative,
so if we can design a way of transitioning to primary school
that is all about reducing anxiety, which in turn raises learning,
cos the brain cannot learn when it's anxious.
Then we're addressing that.
And then we've got a whole range of other microinterventions
that are just informed by what we know about anxiety for those children who still remain anxious.
We've learned new and different ways of deescalating anxiety-filled situations.
We've learned about trigger points. We've learned about reading children.
We've learned about the physiological manifestation of anxiety
and how we can turn that around in kids and actually use that as a positive.
We've even got a school dog here, who's part of the deliberate strategy of being a place
that actually can deal with anxiety in a really humane way.
I would hate to think that the message that parents get
is you need play-based learning at 7, until 7 and then bang.
Actually, 7 to 8 should be like a transition time.
But then by most children by the time they're 8 are more into a more cognitive learning base,
so we can do repetitive patterns, reading and writing, because it's building on that disposition,
not doing it instead of a disposition.
Show us some fabulous gymnastics. OK.
The other thing that was great was finding that one thing that she was good at and wanted to excel at.
We tried ballet first when she was little, and she gave up on that pretty quickly,
but then we went to normal gymnastics, yeah.
But she's always had a bit of rhythm, and when we found rhythmic gymnastics — that's a mouthful.
And her coach, yeah. And her coach. Her coach is like—
She was fantastic. Yeah, she's so good with her. She doesn't put up with anything.
She's like, 'Actually, you can do this.'
She was strict, but she also understood when, you know, Mieke—
not coming from, but... how was Mieke was.
So Mieke's not learning gymnastics to learn gymnastics;
she's doing it to get that confidence. She's doing it to get that— those life skills.
It's not cheap. (CHUCKLES) But it's worth every penny,
because just seeing a change in her has been— made a world of difference,
not just for her, but for me, you know.
It's been one of the key things is seeing that change.
And when you get to know her, she is pretty awesome. It's just taking the time to get to know her
and gaining her trust, and once you have that, she's actually pretty cool.
(LAUGHS)
I hope that she realises that she's pretty awesome and she doesn't have to be like everybody else
and it's OK to be her, and she doesn't need to worry cos she's got us.
Yeah. Yeah, and just to know that it doesn't matter if you fail at something.
It doesn't matter if you can't do it on your first go. Just keep trying.
Just keep trying, and I believe we're enabling her to do that, so she's getting there.
Hopefully. We just want her to be happy.
I do believe there's a long road ahead, though.
I'm so proud of what she's already achieved, and she's only 8, so... Yeah.
As long as she's happy. Especially compared to where she was four years ago. So proud.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
(CLAPS) Good job. Well done. You nailed it.
Nailed it!

Why Putin runs for president as an independent candidate(Valeriy Pyakin 25.12.2017) - Duration: 2:59.
Presenter: Good evening, Valeriy Viktorovich.
Valeriy Pyakin: Good evening.
Presenter: Good evening, dear viewers, radio listeners and guests in the studio. Today is December 25, 2017
And we will begin today with a question related to the campaign that has already begun.
The question is: "Valeriy Viktorovich, why did Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin go for these elections as a self-nominated person, and not from the United Russia party?"
Valeriy Pyakin: Actually,this is the most optimal and logical step in terms of nomination.
That is, it's time to become
to become a representative of entire society.
If you recall the movement of Putin, [then he was related to the parties], "Unity", "United Russia".
And what is "United Russia"? "United Russia" has included other parties: Luzhkov's "Fatherland", Shaimiev's " Entire Russia".
There is a constant unification, consolidation of entire society.
And now a logical step is taken - Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin will be nominated as a representative of entire society, and not from any political structure.
[There is] further unification and consolidation. Everything is fair here.
Presenter: Another question. Just recently, news came out that Putin
does not plan to participate in the meeting of the initiative group on his nomination for president.
Valeriy Pyakin: Absolutely right decision. Imagine, there will be a lot of initiative groups.
He comes to someone, but he cannot come to others.
No, all initiative groups should be on equal terms. They are nominating Putin.
He does not distinguish someone by his presence, [showing] that these are more "equal" than all the others. Correct solution.

Is There Really . . . An Angel Army? - Duration: 28:31.
[PASTOR MICHAEL NOVOTNY]
Do angels actually exist?
Are they actually
spiritual beings who watch
over the people of God?
Or are they just myths and
legends made up by people
looking for comfort and
hope?
Pastor Mark Jeske's going
to dive deep into that
topic coming up next on
Time of Grace.
[MUSIC]
[PASTOR MARK JESKE]
Does the tooth
fairy visit your house?
Yeah?
Raise your hand if the
tooth fairy has made an
appearance, say, in the
last 10 years or so?
I'm expecting to see the
kindergarten kids pretty
much dialed into this.
Yep, that's a yes; the
tooth fairy has appeared.
When I was a kid, the
tooth fairy paid a dime
[Audience: Laughter].
I found out to my shock
that because of inflation,
the tooth fairy now
required a buck [Audience:
Laughter] and so, my
children were instructed
if they believed in the
tooth fairy, they had to
put their tooth in an
envelope and tuck it under
the pillow.
And sure enough, the next
morning there would be a
dollar and the tooth would
be gone.
So in their - when their
first teeth started coming
out, they believed pretty
vigorously in the tooth
fairy.
Their faith began to
wobble a little bit when
once or twice the tooth
fairy forgot to show up
[Audience: Laughter] and
suddenly doubts began to
creep in.
And the oldest, and most
skeptical of our children,
as he was about ready to
lose the last of his baby
teeth, just said, "I don't
believe in the tooth
fairy," and I said, "Okay.
That's okay with me; don't
put your tooth there.
Guess you don't need a
buck." And then you could
see the wheels turning in
his head and I said, "Do
you believe in the tooth
fairy?"
and he said, "Yes."
[Audience: Laughter]
Not because he
believed in the
tooth fairy but because he
wanted a dollar.
[Pastor and Audience:
Laughter] Do you believe
in the tooth fairy?
Are there tooth fairies?
Are there leprechauns?
Are there goblins?
Are there zombies?
Hmm.
Is Superman real?
Is there really a Batman
somewhere?
Are there mermaids?
There's all kinds of
fictional, mystical,
literary invented
creatures partly are human
or, you know, wondrous,
mystical spirit critters
that fill the pages of
stories and movies but you
know, we don't really
believe in all that stuff.
Is there really an Easter
bunny?
You may tell that to the
three year olds on Easter
morning when they're
looking for some chocolate
and sure enough, there's a
basket with a little bunny
inside and it's fun to
play games with that, you
know, but there comes a
point when you say, "Well,
this is a gift from us to
you." You may have Santa
Clause adventures at your
house and that's all a lot
of fun, isn't it, but then
there comes the time when
you have the talk.
Are there really angels?
Are angels just mythical
creatures like griffins
and centaurs?
Sort of the stuff of
literature but they're
really inventions, they're
imaginary, just like
leprechauns are imaginary
and gremlins are
imaginary?
Are there really ghosts?
Or are angels sort of like
ghost stories; just kind
of a fun thing to talk
about but when you really
shine the light of truth
on it, it just kind of
evaporates like a mist?
The only way you're ever
going to know for sure is
to go to the one source of
information about heavenly
things that will never let
you down, that will never
lie to you, and that is
God's holy word.
And I'd like to invite you
to ponder an extraordinary
story with me today; a
story that talks about the
angels not as a literary
device or not as a symbol
for something else, but
creatures with their own
existence - in some ways
like you; in some ways
totally not like you at
all.
And I'd like to invite you
to take your Bible or you
could also check out your
- the program for today
has the Scripture text
printed for you.
I'd like to read a few
words with you from Isaiah
6, the way that the
chapter begins.
Isaiah's message is a long
one and it's been compiled
over a number of years.
He didn't just deliver
this whole thing all in a
blast.
This is sort of various
episodes that were
collected and all put
together.
The first part of Isaiah's
book is mostly some pretty
hard news.
It's called the book of
judgment and it basically
is a hurting love story
from God to the people of
Israel wondering why they
blow him off so easily and
ignore him and suffer
through all of the
hardships and punishments
that come when you
disrespect and ignore and
disobey God and they don't
change though.
God basically says, "Do
you like being beaten in
the head?
Do you like blows?
Do you like your wounds?
What is it with you and
pain?
I'm not - do I need a
bigger and bigger two by
four?
What are you not getting?
I just cannot understand
you." In fact, this is one
of - Isaiah is one of the
stories in Scripture that
kind of makes me thing
that in some ways, you
know, God doesn't get
everything he wants.
If I would ask most of
you, "Does God get
everything he wants?
Does his word make
everything happen
instantly?"
and you would have all
said, "Yes, of course."
And I'd say, "Well, but
think about it.
There's something that God
doesn't get that he wants
and that's the hearts of
every man, woman, and
child on the face of the
earth." I'm delighted that
he has yours but there are
an awful lot of people
whose hearts he does not
have.
He longs for it but he
will not take it or seize
it or compel you.
He tries to win you over
so that you give him your
love because love that is
not given isn't love at
all, is it?
And so, he waits.
Sometimes with discipline
the way a loving father
will discipline a child
that he's really trying to
communicate with.
Sometimes by spoiling them
rotten and pampering them
and giving them stuff.
He works it both ways but
the goal is always to win
your heart to love him
back for all the love that
he has first given to you.
Now in the middle of this
kind of hard message from
Isaiah, we have an
interlude with a scene of
what the throne of God
looks like and it's -
Isaiah begins by saying,
"It was the year that King
Uzziah died." Okay, you
all know that year, right?
What was the year King
Uzziah died?
Everybody knows that,
right?
[Audience: Laughter] You
were going to say 739
B.C., and I would say,
"Absolutely right!
How did you know that?"
[Audience: Laughter] It's
common knowledge, right?
739 B.C.
The nation of Judah was
still holding together
pretty well but its twin
sister to the north was
nearing the edge of
collapse; they were on
their second last king and
enjoying their last little
decade of independence
before collapse set in in
the 720s and they would
cease to exist as a
nation.
Isaiah had a lot of hard
things that he had to say
so this was not an easy
time.
There was trouble between
the northern nation of
Israel and God and yet, in
heaven, all is serene.
"I saw the Lord seated on
a throne high and exalted
and the train of his robe
filled the temple." Now
this is picture language;
this is vision language.
So these things have
significance that comes
from the symbols; we don't
necessarily have to take
everything literally.
"Above him were seraphs,"
seraphim.
You know what those are?
The seraphim are one of
the ranks of angels.
Angels are like the
military.
In fact, the Bible often
calls angels the host of
God or the army of God and
just like our army here in
our country, there is a
command structure and
there are midlevel
officers and then there
are the enlisted men and
women.
The seraphim and their
cousins, the cherubim, are
the top ranks.
This is the general staff.
The cherubim is a Hebrew
word that generally works
best if you just take it
right out of Hebrew
because nobody's exactly
sure how that word is
derived.
But the cherubim are at
the top of the command
structure.
The New Testament calls
them the archangels.
Michael, the supreme
leader, the commander of
the angel armies, is one
of the archangels.
The seraphim are - that
word comes from the Hebrew
word "to burn." They're
the burning ones; the fire
angels.
And I wonder if it's
because of their weaponry.
See, they use light sabers
[Audience: Laughter].
There's a picture of one -
yeah, you can see it right
above the screen over
there if you squint.
It doesn't have lights on
it bright enough perhaps
for you to see but there
is a light saber that that
angel's holding, guarding
and keeping people out of
the Garden of Eden;
keeping them out of
paradise.
It's a sign of judgment
and it might just be that
that's a little allusion.
These are the weapon
carrying angels; these are
the tough ones.
They're the burning, the
angels of fire, the
seraphim.
And yet, at this moment,
we are seeing them not in
military mode, they're in
worship mode.
And let's look at what
they're doing.
"They had six wings." This
is symbolic, of course;
angels don't need wings to
get around but imagine
that they did.
Two of them, "they covered
their faces" because they
wanted to show respect and
humility in the brightness
of the throne room of God.
It's as though we would
come before God and we
would like kneel down and
put our face down.
In the ancient near east,
the way you showed respect
to a ruler is to make your
face low and so the
angels, even though
they're hovering, wanted
to show respect and so
they used their wings to
shield their faces.
"With two they covered
their feet," same reason,
and "with two they were
flying.
And they were calling to
one another: 'Holy, holy,
holy is the Lord Almighty;
the whole earth is full of
his glory.'" And they made
such a racket at the sound
of their voices that the
doorposts and thresholds
shook and the temple was
filled with smoke.
Isaiah was terrified.
I'm going to stop here,
but you really need to
read the rest of this
story maybe later today.
Isaiah was terrified of
what he was seeing.
He thought he was so
unworthy he'd be sizzled;
that these burning angels
were maybe going to sizzle
him or maybe use their
fiery swords, their light
sabers, and just dice him
up like he was being
chopped up for a salad.
He was terrified he would
be killed being that close
to the holy throne room of
God.
And the angels though,
ceremonially, used the
altar of worship, which is
not an altar like the one
behind me, which is a
great, big, beautiful
wooden thing.
The altars in those days
were animals that were
consumed and this
represents the burning
pit, the gigantic like
barbeque pit in front of
the temple in Jerusalem
where the sacrifices of
animals were brought and
the smoke would rise.
That is where sins were
paid for so it's as though
he took some of that fire
and it was a cleansing
fire; it was a purging
fire and touched the coal
on his mouth.
And it didn't burn the
skin off his lips; it, in
fact, ceremonially showed
him that through what
happens on the altar of
the Lamb of God, people's
sins are forgiven.
But I'd like to just
ponder with you what we
just heard about what the
angels are really like.
Do you believe in angels?
I think you should.
I think it would be a
really good idea.
First of all, they're
really powerful.
When they set up their
worship, it wasn't just
humming a little tune.
Such veracity shook the
foundations, the very
foundations, of heaven
itself.
They poured out their
praises of glory and
holiness to the Lord.
Secondly, they're holy.
They are the ones who have
survived their own
testing.
They are the ones who said
no to Satan.
Unlike the human race,
which was all sunk with
Adam and Eve's defection,
these are the angels who
said no to Satan's
deception.
These are the angels who
stayed angels and did not
become the demons of hell.
And heaven is now their
permanent home.
These are angels who are
servants.
The book of Hebrews, at
the end of chapter one,
says that the angels are
ministers of God; they're
servants of God looking
after us.
They're working for God
but they're also working
for us.
And although it seems like
they outrank us, they're
holier than we are,
they're more powerful than
we are, they move at the
speed of heaven, they move
at the speed of spirit,
whatever that speed may
be, if you can measure it
with physics.
They have no problem
getting back and forth
between the dimensions of
heaven and earth.
They go back and forth,
Scripture tells us.
They are our protectors.
If it were not for the
angels, Satan, who would
just love to destroy and
trash not only our souls
but our bodies too, and so
the angels are like God's
hands of protection around
us; setting limits to the
harm that is allowed to
come into our lives.
And only what God allows
is able to happen to us.
If we saw even one-tenth
of the trouble that could
come upon us without that
angelic protection, our
jaws would hit the floor.
Someday, perhaps, we'll
get to meet them.
Jesus told his disciples
especially children have
angels; their angels who
are assigned personal
duty.
What Christian parent has
not just beamed reading
that passage; knowing that
their children whom every
mother - especially the
moms - worry about and
fret about, "Are my kids
safe?
Are my kids safe?"
can exhale now because
your children have an
angel, a personal angel,
who watches over them.
Jesus said so; don't take
my word for it.
You can trust what Jesus
said.
So angels exist, you
better believe it.
They are holy, they are
powerful, they are fast,
they are humble, and they
are worshipful.
And in fact, the book of
Revelations says that
we'll be joining them soon
because we get to join in
their praises when we get
to heaven.
In the meantime, we join
our praises to them kind
of at a distance.
You know, there's all
kinds of challenges to you
to know how really, where do I
get my faith from?
What do I really believe
in?
Where does my faith come
from?
And it's one of the great
gifts that God has given
to you to give you a
source of information, to
give you certainty, so
that you don't have to
guess.
You've ever seen Peter
Pan?
Yes?
Movie or the play?
You know, if you - J.M.
Barrie wrote this
wonderful book.
Some of you perhaps read
the book; it's really a
sweet children's story and
grownups like it too,
actually.
Movies have come out and
cartoons are great fun.
There even was - you know,
you might have seen Hook,
which is a takeoff from
the Peter Pan story.
But in the theater, they
always do kind of a cute
little thing to engage the
audience.
Now if you've seen the
play, you know what I'm
going to tell you right
now because there is a
moment about near towards
the end of the play when
Tinkerbell, the little
fairy, gets really sick
because the Lost Boys were
growing up and they didn't
believe in her anymore and
she starts faltering and
her little wings stop
beating and she kind of
lies down on the stage and
Peter Pan goes to the
audience and says, "Help!
Don't let Tink die!
Please, help me!"
And then everybody thinks,
"And do what?
What are we supposed to
do?"
He says, "Do you believe
in fairies?
Every time somebody stops
believing in fairies, a
fairy dies somewhere." And
all the little kids go,
"No!"
and they go, "Tink!
Tinkerbell!"
and Peter Pan says, "Do
you believe in fairies?
If you believe in fairies,
clap!"
and then first
tentatively, and then a
little more intensely,
people start clapping and
then there's a huge roar
that goes up from the
audience when it works and
Tinkerbell kind of gets
back up and gets going
again.
I'd like to encourage you
to claim everything God
has said in his word about
the incredible value that
his angels bring to you.
They are working it every
day to make your life
better and the fact that
you have not been allowed
to see them doesn't mean
they don't exist.
You can't see electricity
either but you don't doubt
its existence because you
see its effect.
You don't doubt gravity.
You don't ever even worry
about it but you don't
doubt it because your feet
stay stuck to the ground
every day.
It's an invisible force
that has a great effect on
your life.
The angels, in the same
way, God assures you
though you may not be able
to see them yet, you soon
will when your eyeballs
get upgraded to be able to
perceive the spirit world.
For now, we accept them by
faith.
The angels are God's
ministers and servants,
providing protection and
guidance for you.
They are God's executives
carrying out his will.
They are God's deputies,
deputy sheriffs, who are
going to round up all
unbelievers on the Day of
Judgment and the seraphims
then are going to whip out
their light sabers and
they are going to visibly
to be seen with their
burning power and they
will truly be the burning
angels.
The angels who come for
you are not going to hurt
you.
Scripture says they will
lift you up.
The angels on Judgment Day
are going to be your Uber
ride to get you up off the
ground because God is
going to remake the planet
and once again join heaven
to earth and even better
than the Garden of Eden,
place you down - when he
sets you, when the angels
set you back down on the
ground - you will truly be
in a paradise where heaven
and earth are now together
forever.
Those are God's promises
to you.
So do you believe in
angels?
[Audience: Yes] If you
believe in angels, clap
with me.
[Audience: Clapping]
Amen.
[MUSIC]
[PASTOR MICHAEL NOVOTNY]
Your grandma's
cross-stitch sweater
probably lied to you.
If your grandma had a
sweater like my grandma
had, about 16 of them,
there were those little
cute baby angels, a little
bit overweight with the
wings growing out of their
back.
Yeah, but Pastor Jeske
told us angels aren't
anything like that.
They're like a military
force; they're powerful.
And they protect us from
things that would
otherwise hurt us.
And so, we don't think
angels are cute; we think
they are incredibly
fearful, wonderful, and a
gift to the church of God.
Let's remember that and
sleep with peace, with
comfort, and with hope.
I'll be back with you in a
moment to pray.
[PROMOTION] Starting this
January, longtime viewers
of Time of Grace will have
a chance to meet a whole
new place - the church
that I love and serve, The
Core, in Appleton,
Wisconsin.
Now things might look a
little bit different here
at our church but we know
that so many things are
not going to change.
The timeless truths that
we love and appreciate
will continue to be our
message and that's where
you come in.
We need generous
supporters like you to
help us reach our $125,000
goal.
By your continual gifts,
your prayers and your
support, you can help
God's grace reach brand
new people in my community
and, we pray, throughout
our nation.
People like Valerie, from
Texas.
Valerie says, "Time of
Grace has helped me become
more spiritually mature
than I could ever have
thought.
Although I still struggle
a lot, I use Time of Grace
to replenish my faith,
strength, and get my back
on track." To thank you
for your gift, we would
love to send you our
insightful and encouraging
book, "Angels," because
everyone loves a mystery,
by Pastor Jon Enter and
Pastor Mark Jeske.
So call the number on your
screen and start making an
impact today and may God
bless you.
[MUSIC]
Just this past
week, I got to meet an
incredible couple who has
been blessed by the
messages of Time of Grace
for many years.
It turns out years ago,
they just stumbled across
the program on the
television set.
The wife was captivated;
she called her husband
into the room and now for
years, Pastor Jeske has
been bringing more Jesus
and more grace and more
hope into their lives.
And I thought about that
story and realized that it
couldn't have happened
without people like you;
people who pray for God's
word to spread throughout
our nation.
People who give generously
so we can spread God's
word throughout our
nation.
So on behalf of Time of
Grace, thank you.
On behalf of this man and
his wife, thank you.
On behalf of all the
people who learn a little
bit more about Jesus week
after week and especially
about his unconditional
love, his grace, thank
you.
Let's join our hearts and
pray.
Dear God, We thank you
today for angels.
I can't wrap my mind
around exactly how you
direct them and how they
serve us but you have made
us a promise that angels
are ministering spirits
sent to serve Christians;
those who will inherit
salvation.
For all the danger they
keep us from, God, we
thank you.
For all the evil spiritual
forces that they keep away
so that we're not led into
temptation, we thank you.
We thank you, God, for
every bit of your grand
plan - both the things
that we see and the ones
that we don't.
We believe that you are
the creator of the visible
and the invisible so thank
you for being God.
Thank you for being in
control.
And most importantly,
thank you for loving us as
much as you do.
We pray all these things
in our Savior Jesus' name,
Amen.
With Time of Grace, I'm
Pastor Mike Novotny and it
all starts now.
[PROMOTION] "The truth of
God's word is truth and
yet the way in which you
can share it can be done
in a wide variety of
ways." "We've taken a
modern style but we have
tried to embrace every
page of the Bible and
every topic that people
are dealing with." "Our
church, we use screens and
we use technology but The
Core's use of technology
is far more advanced with
triple-wide graphics and
some of the different
elements that they
incorporate with videos
and the things that are
produced behind the
scenes.
It just blows my mind." "I
even look back at Martin
Luther, was using
technology, used the
printing press.
I mean, I think if he had
the tools we have today,
he would have been
utilizing all them, too.
"You know, technology is a
double-edged sword; we
think about that a lot.
We don't want people to be
so dependent on a screen,
a new image, that they
can't actually read their
Bible, which is a real
danger.
But we've also - you know,
that old adage a picture
is worth a thousand words?
Like, I could try to tell
you about what Israel's
like but if I can show you
a picture that I took like
that, that sticks with
people." "Some people are
visual learners, some
people are auditory
learners, ah, some people
need both to connect the
dots.
And ah, so the visual
piece is really huge,
especially, I think, with
the younger generation in
our world today.
Whether we like it or not,
what engages them are
visual things and so if
you can utilize visual to
engage a 12 year old, to
engage an 18 year old, the
Y gen audience of today's
world isn't going away.
That's who they are,
that's what they've grown
up with, and there's a
part of their brain that
connects the dots maybe
better when visuals are a
part of it." "I think the
retention of the message
stays a lot longer by
using the graphics cause
we have members of the
church that still talk
about sermons from three
years ago just because the
graphics part of the
message has stuck with
them." "The things we've
seen on the screen have
been incredible.
Good Friday, when we went
into the temple, it was
across the three screens
and it felt like you were
in the temple.
You know, you read those
parts in the Bible all the
time but to be in it was
unbelievable.
So yeah, absolutely; we
learn a ton from the
technology here.
"In general, studies will
tell you, you know, you
can see something but if
you speak it or you hear
it, the more senses that
you can combine, the
better our brains remember
that.
And so, that's a lot of
what we do is we - I want
people to hear the word as
I read it, but I want them
to see it, I want them to
write it in their programs
as they're going.
And my hope is that if I
can engage the brain that
much when it's Tuesday,
you're not going to forget
about God's powerful word
that you heard on Sunday.
"We hope we're not just
jumping on some like
cultural thing because we
think it's cool but this
is actually a great way
for the way that God
designed our brains to
learn and retain
information.
And what better
information than what
we're putting on the
screen?"
"It isn't a show.
It's not - it's not just
music and lights and that
atmosphere.
It's people, real people
that are struggling,
people that maybe don't
have anywhere else to go,
that are growing in their
faith, that are, you know,
recommitting themselves to

Remaking Suspiria: An Homage to a Feeling - Duration: 13:51.
Luca Guadagnino is following up Call Me By Your Name
with a project that's deeply personal to him,
and one that made Quentin Tarantino cry,
a remake of one of the most legendary horror films of all time -
Dario Argento's Suspiria.
"Bad luck isn't brought by broken mirrors, but by broken minds."
Released in 1977,
the stylized fairy tale-nightmare follows Suzy Bannion,
an American ballet student who attends a dance academy in Germany,
only to discover it's a front for a coven of witches.
[whispers] "Suzy, do you know anything about witches?"
So in honor of the new Suspiria's release,
we're going to look at what made Dario Argento's 1977 film so mesmerizing,
and how Guadagnino's non-traditional remake
is an homage to the feeling the original Suspiria gave him—
a feeling that would profoundly impact his directorial style.
"The illicitness of it, and the incredible freedom of Dario,
were really empowering me, very much."
Before we go on, we want to tell you a little
about this video's sponsor: MUBI.

"Skepticism is the natural reaction of evil nowadays.
And magic is ever present.
Which means that magic is everywhere, and all over the world, it's a recognized
fact."
By the way,
if you notice that dialogue from the original seems out of sync,
that's because during filming, everyone spoke their own native languages,
and it was all dubbed into English later.
Argento began his filmmaking career working in the tradition of Giallo:
A horror-film sub-genre that peaked in popularity in 1970s Italy.
The term Giallo, which translates to "Yellow" in English,
stems from a line of pulp mystery novels with yellow covers
that were published in Italy starting in 1929.
The archetypal giallo film combines elements from detective fiction with:
bloody, drawn out murder sequences,
opulent visuals, jarring soundscapes, and, typically, a female lead.
Suspiria was very much born out of giallo —
everything is over the top —
but instead of being strictly fiction, it has supernatural subject matter,
so it builds on and transcends the genre.
Suspiria is the first film in Argento's Three Mothers trilogy,
about a trio of malevolent witches
with the power to manipulate events around the world.
This concept came from Thomas de Quincey's Suspiria de profundis,
an 1845 collection of psychological fantasy essays
influenced by the author's visions on opium.
Argento and his screenwriter and partner at the time, Daria Nicolodi,
wanted a tone of perverted innocence,
so they studied stories of the European occult
and watched Disney fairy tales like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
and Alice in Wonderland.
"It all seems so absurd, so fantastic."
Suspiria isn't to be watched but experienced:
it's an acid trip in a haunted mansion,
a beautiful nightmare that you don't want to wake up from.
plot and character development are of little importance.
"Do not be concerned - it's nothing."
What makes the film so captivating is the feeling it gives viewers—
"I know.
But I have a strange feeling that somebody already told me about it.
Or something similar.
I can't—"
Guadagnino spoke of the corporeal fear it gave him.
Suspiria showed Guadagnino how movies could
"Upset somebody in a beautiful way."
As a director, this inspired him to follow Argento's lead
to make films that viewers experience through the body
instead of just through the mind or emotions.
The language of Suspiria is primarily visual.
We might not learn much about Suzy from what she has to say,
"a lot of strange things are happening."
but we feel how she feels when she's scared,
when she knows something's not right.
The visuals—
from the movement of the camera, to the lighting and color palette,
to the mise-en-scene—
work in tandem to overwhelm the viewers and transport us to another world.
Argento and cinematographer, Luciano Tovoli, took a dramatic, experimental approach
to give the film the look of a dark fairy tale.
They opted for a palette of bold, primary colors:
the artificiality of the light representing the presence of the supernatural.
Tovoli achieved this by shining strong lights
through makeshift screens made of colored velvets and tissue paper,
which he placed uncomfortably close to the actors' faces.
To produce a color scheme reminiscent of Snow White,
the film was processed in three-strip Technicolor, an old-fashioned technique
that gave The Wizard of Oz its vibrant, cartoonish colors.
The production design was heavily influenced by expressionist paintings and films.
So we see geometric shapes, textured backgrounds,
and architecture of odd proportions.
The ceilings in the academy, for instance,
are so high that they nearly swallow the dancers wandering below,
suggesting the girls' vulnerability in this environment.
And the camera is constantly in motion—
it's as if the viewer is floating through someone else's dream.
Murder sequences are shot from "impossible" angles,
making us feel like helpless onlookers to the victims' fates.
Like the film's visuals,
the score by Goblin plays both atmospheric and symbolic roles,
even from the opening scene.
As Suzy walks toward the airport exit,
eerie music stops and starts as the door opens and closes—
building a tension that makes it feel like Suzy,
and by extension, the viewer,
are being pulled into an alluring nightmare.
When it was announced that Luca Guadagnino was remaking Suspiria,
he was met with skepticism from die hard fans of the original.
How could someone attempt to recreate such a singular film—
the realization of Argento's directorial vision?
Luckily, this wasn't Guadagnino's goal.
He's called the new Suspiria a "cover version":
He's paying homage to the experience he had
watching Suspiria as a 14-year-old.
"I always wanted to make horror films, I am a big, big scholar of horror films.
That's what I really, really want.
I want to be a horror movie director.
Yeah!"
The 2018 Suspiria is an entirely different film
that conjures a different type of feeling,
but like its predecessor, it gets under your skin and leaves a mark.
"A piece about rebirths.
The inevitable pull that they exert,
and our efforts to escape them."
The new Suspiria has the same basic premise:
a young and seemingly naive Suzy travels to Germany to study at a dance academy—
but this time, it's located in a divided Berlin
instead of Freiburg.
The year is 1977, when the original film was released.
Outside of the academy's walls, the militant group The Red Army Faction
is engaged in bombings and shootouts with the local government
in a period of violent activity that would become known as "The German Autumn."
This historical context informs the movie's themes, visuals, and plot.
"Mirroring the story of Suzy Bannion and Madame Blanc,
and these couple witches,
with the hatred, and the violence, and the division
that was in the reality of the times and in the place."
Argento and Nicolodi's screenplay had a thin, gory plot,
classic of gothic horrors,
but David Kajganich's screenplay has much more narrative depth.
The story barely resembles its source material, only nods to it.
Structured in six acts and an epilogue, layered with symbolism and side plots,
the new Suspiria is an hour longer than the original.
And it explores the medium of dance much more.
"When you dance the dance of another, you make yourself in the image of its creator."
The movement of the dancers plays a key role in the process of witchcraft;
the dancers even perform along the points of a pentagram
duct-taped to the floor.
The choreography was influenced by Pina Bausch and Martha Graham,
resulting in a style of dance that, as Madame Blanc says,
is about breaking the prettiness in things.
And -- fittingly for a remake -- there's a thematic tension
between the old way and the new way of doing things.
The feelings of trauma, shame and oppression that permeated the German Autumn
served as the influence for the film's visuals.
The end result is a depressive blend of earth tones:
muted grays, greens, and browns.
The production and costume designers took a naturalistic approach,
working with props and intricately-patterned fabrics
to make the film feel like an artifact from 1977 Germany
as opposed to a period piece.
Needless to say,
the aesthetic mottos of these two Suspirias differ dramatically:
Argento's was a "more is more" attitude—
an assault on the senses.
"You wanted to kill Helena Marcos.
[chuckles deviously]
Hell is behind that door."
Guadagnino's is a quiet and restrained approach,
conjuring a feeling that slowly burns under the viewers' skin.
The only moments in Suspiria that visually recall Argento's
over-the-top giallo sensibilities, occur in Suzy's nightmare sequences—
rendered with fractured camerawork and disturbing imagery.
Watching one of these dreams unravel is like dealing with a repressed memory
that surfaces with a vengeance.
And as quickly as the memory began, it ends,
and we return to the muffled imagery of mundanity.
But we don't forget what we've seen.
Radiohead's Thom Yorke produced songs for the score,
and he took a fittingly understated approach, creating haunting, introspective melodies.
Yorke was a fan of the original soundtrack by Goblin,
and he borrowed their technique of repeating motifs to build dread.
"There's a way of repeating in music, which can hypnotize,
and I kept thinking it was a form of making spells."
The old and new versions of Suspiria exist in different worlds,
but their makers share a common directorial philosophy.
The original Suspiria opened Guadagnino's eyes
to what cinema could do,
and inspired him to take an Argento-esque approach as a director:
valuing boldness and collaboration, creating films to be experienced from within,
and deliberately using style and technical knowledge
to put viewers in a particular mind-body state.
In Argento's case, this was a deep, bodily fear
provoked by horrifying sequences that are too beautiful to look away from.
In Guadagnino's,
it's a burden to carry and memories to repress,
wrapped in a realistic historical moment.
By remaking Suspiria,
Guadagnino was essentially saying thank you to a film
that continues to impact his work as a director.
His Suspiria offers a fruitful model for filmmakers who want to pay tribute
to the directors and films that made them:
it tells us -- don't try to remake the past,
but offer your own perspective for the future.
"We've gotta get rid of that bitch of the American girl!
Vanish!
Vanish!
Make her disappear!
Understand?"

He Was Going To Drive Past This Duffel Bag In The Desert, But Then It Began To Do Something Strange - Duration: 2:23.
When a passing driver spotted a blue bag by the side of the road in the Californian desert, he made a shocking discovery.
After first thinking that he shouldn't stop, as rubbish in the desert is "all too common,"
something about the bag made him decide to hit the brakes and investigate.

He soon realized he'd come across something that wasn't meant to be found.
Inside the zipped duffle bag was a little dog that was happy for the fresh air. The driver
then handed the dog over to the Victor
Valley Animal Protective League – the V.V.A.P.L. – an animal shelter located in Apple Valley.
"Fortunately, the dog was found before suffering any harm, saving him from a horrific death," read a post on the shelter's Facebook page. "We named the sweet boy Duff, and he's now in a forever home thanks to a good Samaritan."
The shelter has no idea how long Duff was inside the bag or who put him there in the first place.
Fortunately, the dog is now doing well. It's staggering to think how cruel humans can be,
but luckily for Duff the right person was driving past at just the right time.
On social media, people reacted with indignation to news of Duff's mistreatment.
Mandie Kearns wrote, "I would to love to zip that sorry excuse for a human in a bag in the desert for a few hours. WHAT A MONSTER."
Susan Knaack Curry added, "What in the heck is seriously wrong with people today!!! Karma to whoever the evil doer is! Praise be to the one who saved him."
The Californian shelter, located just east of Los Angeles
has been caring for homeless animals for more than half a century now. It strives to find new homes for around 150 animals each month.

Meghan erinnert sich an Hochzeits-Tiara-Auswahl mit Queen
Seit Mai ist die ehemalige Schauspielerin Meghan Markle (37) Teil der britischen Königsfamilie.
Mit ihrer Hochzeit mit Prinz Harry (34) wurde sie zur Herzogin von Sussex.
Für den großen Tag durfte sich die Braut natürlich auch eine Tiara aussuchen und entschied sich für das Queen Mary Diamond Bandeau aus dem Jahr 1932.
Bei der Auswahl half ihr keine Geringere als Queen Elizabeth II. (92) höchstpersönlich.
Jetzt erinnerte sich Meghan an die besondere Zusammenarbeit.
Die britische Königin lud ihre Schwiegerenkelin damals gemeinsam mit Prinz Harry in den Buckingham Palace ein, um zusammen die Tiara-Schätze zu begutachten und anzuprobieren.
Der royale Rotschopf wusste somit am Tag der Hochzeit zumindest schon, welche Tiara seine Liebste tragen würde.
"Harry und ich trafen ihre Hoheit im Buckingham Palace, um eine der Optionen auszuwählen und es war ein unglaublich surrealer Tag, wie man sich vorstellen kann",
sagte die 37-Jährige laut Daily Mail in Bezug auf eine neue Ausstellung auf Schloss Windsor.
Dort werden die Hochzeits-Outfits von Harry und Meghan gerade gezeigt.
Für die Tiara von Queen Mary, im deutschen Sprachraum als Maria von Teck bekannt, entschied sich die Ex-Suits-Darstellerin schließlich, wegen ihres klaren Designs aus Platin und Diamanten:
"Sie war einfach perfekt, weil sie so rein und klar wirkt.
etwas, das unfassbar zeitlos, aber trotzdem auch modern ist".
Queen Mary war die Großmutter väterlicherseits von Elizabeth II.

10 Things I HATE About Being an Entrepreneur, after a Decade as an Entrepreneur - Duration: 8:56.
10 Things I Hate About Being an Entrepreneur,after a Decade as an Entrepreneur
I started my first business when I was a boy of 15 and for the first time, I fell in love
with the concept of creating a product or service and make money doing so.
At 21, I went fully into the business world and here I am today, wondering, "Does it
really worth it?"
I would say YES, if I consider the freedom and the cash but like everything, there are
things I just don't like about being an entrepreneur.
In this video, I'll be sharing with you 10 things I hate about running a business
and I hope some of these points prepare you to become a better entrepreneur.
If you're new here, consider subscribing so that you won't miss other interesting
videos like this.
No. 1 Launching a product no one wants
About six months ago, I and one of my friends were crazy about a new concept.
We thought we've discovered another great business idea that would make us a lot of
money.
We worked nights and days and made a lot of sacrifices to meet up with our launch date
only for us to arrive at that day and be disappointed.
But maybe there was something we didn't get right.
Let's change few things and run few more ads.
Unhc!
Nobody wanted out product.
If you've been an entrepreneur for any reasonable period of time, you must have experienced
this more than a few times.
I've experienced this again and again, creating a product you think the whole world would
love only to discover that your mother-in-law is your only customer, writing a book you
think your entire country would read only to see that your best friends are the only
ones who care Hahaha…
I hate this.
But what is the way out of this?
There's no permanent solution but some precautions are;
Don't create a product based on what you think or what others tell you.
Create product or service based on people's behavior.
People will buy more of what they are already buying and they will always buy the better
version of what they have bought before.
No. 2 Having no certainty
I woke up last July to the news that later led to the loss of one of our business'
assets.
This single situation led to the loss of over 50% of our company's income.
If I were an employee, I could tell you how much I earn a year but I'm sorry, I can't
tell you how much I would make next year because I don't have any guarantee about what happens
to my business.
This is tougher than you can imagine.
What's the way out?
Always be ready.
Life as an entrepreneur is similar to that of a soldier.
You can die or become a general.Hahahahaha….
N0. 3 Managing being envied by others
As an entrepreneur, because you have some level of freedom that most people may never
have, it's usual to see them envying you.
Because you may have more cash than other people, this can lead to jealousy.
How do you cope with this?
I've not actually figure it out.
If you have, I'll love to hear your opinion in the comment.
No. 4 Having to fire people
I love people and usually hate to hurt others but as an entrepreneur, unfortunately, you
hire and fire people all the time.
This is painful and I hate it but there seems to be nothing I can do about it.
No. 5 Losing a business when you least expect
Remember Nokia, Yahoo!
Or Blackberry.
Those were some of the biggest companies of the world yet they crumbled.
You may think you know the reason why these companies failed and blame anyone for their
failure but when you start running your own company, you'll see how tough it is to keep
on being relevant in a world that changes every second.
How I wish I could have my business forever!
Unfortunately, anything can happen any time and I hate this.
What's the way out?
Be prepared to keep on learning and changing, this way, you can always stay relevant and
if for any reason you lose a business, fight back and move on.
No. 6 Having to become difficult
The longer I stay in the business world, the tougher I become which I really wish I don't
have to.
But you ever see a gentle entrepreneur?
Maybe he's pretending, hahahaha…
Like seriously, entrepreneurship is as tough as war.
You deal with people every day and many of them simply want to sell you.
You have competitors who want your business dead.
You have employees who want to steal from you.
Being tough, unfortunately is the only way to build anything significant.
No. 7 Having to worry about others
If I have a job, the only thing I would worry about is my paychecks and well-being.
Having a business put more responsibilities on you.
Now you have to think and sometimes worry about your team and employees.
How would you ensure they get paid at the appropriate time?
How would you ensure that the company grows so that they could be paid better?
How would you ensure that the company doesn't fail, not just because of you, but because
of other lives that depend on it?
I hate this because it adds to the day-day worries every human has.
No. 8 Keeping records and details
I hate details and records.
I wish they are not important, but when you start a company and there are only few people
to do a million things and you have the responsibility to pay attention to some details and keep
records, if you were like me, you'll hate that.
No. 9 Not knowing the day or dates
This is very funny but true.
While in school, I usually know what the day and date is.
These days, I rarely know the difference between Saturdays and Mondays or whether today is
5th of the month or 25th.
This is not as bad as other points in this video yet, it's funny, what do you think?
No. 10 People thinking you always have money
Fe months ago when my business had a problem, I received a message from one of my friends
who needed some money and I politely explained to him that I was so broke that I was owning
my employees.
I thought such simple explanation would do until few days later I got another text from
him, asking for money with some other appeals.
People usually think that because you're an entrepreneur, you always have money while
this is not true.
Everyone gets broke sometimes but entrepreneurs would not be believed when they tell others
that they are broke.
What can anyone do about this?
I don't know.
If you have some ideas, kindly share them in the comment.
In summary, do we make this video to discourage you from being an entrepreneur?
Never!
If anything, it's to prepare your mind for the entrepreneurial journey.
This video was made to show you that there's other side of entrepreneurship.
There are tough times and tough decisions.
You'll encounter hard people and hard situations.
You'll have to do some things you hate just because that's the only way
You may have to get through.
In all, don't do evil and it shall be well with you.
Thank you very much for watching our video.
