Mary Shelley – Frankenstein – Uránia National Film Theater – Budapest

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Budapest - Hungary, Entertainments, Herald News for Hungarians who speaks English!, Hungary. Tagged: .

Mary Shelley – Frankenstein – Uránia National Film Theater – April, 4, 2019. 

Historical film, 120 minutes, 2017., in English with Hungarian subtitles

Biography drama Mary Shelley, originally aka: Mary Wollstonecraft’s Godwin (Elle Fanning), who at the age of 18 created the world’s best-known gothic novel, according to many, the first horror work of literary history called Frankenstein, or the modern Prometheus.

Short description … We are in 1812, and Mary’s father, who is passionate about literature and writing, works at a London bookstore. At the age of 16, he is introduced to a social event by the then-acclaimed poet Percy Bysshe Shelley (Douglas Booth). Mary and Percy then, despite the standards – the man was still married – take on their love for each other and, despite the will of their families, escaped to France, and later they travel to Switzerland at the invitation of Lord Byron (Tom Sturridge). Here is an extraordinary story of Frankenstein, which is influenced by their stormy and passionate relationship. The ghostly story for everyone who meets him has a great impact, but since the society at that time doesn’t really appreciate the female writers, Mary is forced to stand up for her work and her own identity in the face of age.

Projection Sites beside Budapest screening will take place at several cities in Hungary.

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Budapest - Hungary, Entertainments, Herald News for Hungarians who speaks English!, Hungary. Tagged: , , .

“CELEBRATING 60 YEARS OF HITS – HIS WAY”!

A worldwide renowned swing and jazz artist, Paul Anka leaves his audience on the edge of their seats as they listen to his lyrically supreme and smooth voice.

One of the most versatile songwriters and singers in the world, Paul Anka will give a concert this summer in Budapest. The Canadian-born star, “CELEBRATING 60 YEARS OF HITS – HIS WAY”, will perform on  Wednesday, July 17, 2019,  8 p.m. at the Papp László Budapest Sports Arena.

As a teen musician in the 1950s, Anka befriended Holly. After Holly’s death in a 1959 plane crash, his recording of the Anka-written song “It Doesn’t Matter Any More” became a posthumous Top 20 song. The list of musicians who worked directly with Buddy Holly, Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, and Drake is very short.

At the concert we get a summary of the work of the last sixty years, where we can take part in on a great journey through music and songs from that last century! The artist’s name  is very well-connected to a generation hits such as “Diana”, “My Way”, “You’re Having My Baby”, “Don’t Like To Sleep Alone” or “Times of Your Life”. Even to this day, Anka’s songs are often solemn at various events. During the concert many more of his hit can be enjoyed. Towards the end of the sixties he wrote the song for Sinatra “My Way” and the music world, even to this day, Anka’s song was made known to the world by Sinatra performance.

In the 1970s, new hits were born: “(You) Having My Baby,” “Don Like To Sleep Alone”, and “Times of Your Life” – a place where the pop music became an idol.

Tickets are available from March, 27. 2019 on http://www.broadway.com

After hundreds of years, the castle of Buda was loud again with the ring of swords and armor. In the Budapest Historical Museum, the world of knight tournaments was summoned by the Hungarian artists of the. spectacular fighting sport called Buhurt. Tradition and martial arts meet on HISTORY Channel‘s program: the MMA armor series clashes with the knights of modern age week by week. This is not a choreographed show but full contact combat sport that’s gaining popularity all over the world. In the US, fighters are members of the Armored Combat League. In Hungary, the sport is known as buhurt after the French word that meant the group combat event of medieval tournaments. Fighters in Hungary have formed clubs in several towns including Budapest, Szolnok, Szeged and Debrecen. Their umbrella organization is under the Hungarian Buhurt Association.

HISTORY is a place where history comes alive in shows where weapons of the past become instruments of drama in the hands of today’s heroes. These shows teach viewers about ancient bladesmith, knights and battlefields through gripping human interest stories.

Forged in Fire and its spin-off, Knife or Death have been among HISTORY ’s most popular shows for years. In Forged in Fire, blacksmiths compete in a three-round elimination contest to forge bladed weapons. In Knife or Death, top bladesmith and martial artists bring their historical weapons through a series of extremely gruelling challenges.

Now, a new show takes reviving history to a new level. For centuries, knights were the ultimate warriors, ruling battlefields with skill, courage, and the brute strength it takes to fight in 60 pounds of plated armor. Today, there are still men who dream of testing their worth in medieval-style warfare. In Knight Fight (MMA – in armor), each episode features six contestants willing to risk life and limb in a series of challenges to see who will reign supreme.

Tradition and martial arts will also be featured on HISTORY Channel in the MMA armor series, weekly on every Wednesday at 10 p.m.  from the Gothic Hall of the Budapest Museum. It is at the oldest parts of the Royal Castle of Buda.
