Liberty Leading the People (French: La Liberté guidant le peuple [la libɛʁte ɡidɑ̃ lə pœpl]) is a painting of the Romantic era by the French artist Eugène Delacroix, commemorating the July Revolution of 1830 that toppled King Charles X. A bare-breasted woman of the people with a Phrygian cap personifying the concept and Goddess of Liberty leads a varied group of people forward over a barricade and the bodies of the fallen, holding aloft the flag of the French Revolution – the tricolour, which again became France's national flag after these events – in one hand and brandishing a bayonetted musket with the other. The figure of Liberty is also viewed as a symbol of France and the French Republic known as Marianne.
The painting is sometimes wrongly thought to depict the French Revolution of 1789.
Aristotle with a Bust of Homer (Dutch: Aristoteles bij de buste van Homerus), also known as Aristotle Contemplating a Bust of Homer, is an oil-on-canvas painting by Rembrandt that depicts Aristotle wearing a gold chain and contemplating a sculpted bust of Homer. It was created as a commission for Don Antonio Ruffo's collection. It was bought and sold by several collectors until it was eventually purchased by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The mysterious tone in the painting has led several scholars to different interpretations of Rembrandt's theme.

Yes but we take what we can get from YT.
And this is US only, with ads, yada yada.
Thanks @[email protected]
Great. If that was their reason, they could explain that. But they didn't and that's my beef.
But since you seem to be tech savvy, you also already know why they don't explain which great features of react they want to use on this page. And we all already know it's not for the user's benefit. It's for money they receive from data mining every minute of our lives.
I hate how these kinds of messages never explain WHY. It's just "Do it. Do what we tell you." 💀
I have to say, everything else aside, the robot's costume design in this is great. The fact the actor could move around as much as he does is nothing short of incredible.
This movie put me off of horror for a long time, when I was a teenager and saw it on early cable TV. It's not gory but mannn, did it scare the bejeezus outta me. Not watching it now still.
Those eyes?
They're grrrrreeeeeat!
I really like this. There's something comtemporary and illustrative about this, but now I want to know the story of its creation in 1903.

Abdi worked as a blacksmith and illustrated Arabic publications that appeared in Israel. After studying in Dresden, Abdi became the first Palestinian to build monumental art on native soil.

A movie with this much narration just has to be great.
Also, Xerxes the cat should have won the Oscar that year. Just sayin'
