50 or $1.75 a ticket rings a bell. Also, they didn't have any matinee prices like they do now. Tickets were the same price all day.
Question: What other movies came out that year that you remember?
Answer: The Bond film Live and Let Die. The Paul McCartney song for that movie was a big deal too, because of the film. My personal favorite movie for that year was The Sting, which also won best picture at the Academy Awards that year. Like I said, there wasn't any such thing as video rentals yet, like Hollywood Video or Blockbuster, so I remember going to the theaters to see it about five times. Oh yeah, Deliverance came out that year too. That was another one everyone talked about and flocked to see, and kids under 18 kept trying to sneak in with older people. Personally, I didn't like that movie as much as a lot of other people did. It was pretty disturbing, especially for that time.
Question: How have movies changed since 1973.
Answer: I'd say in general there was lots more storyline then, since they couldn't rely on special effects, like they do now. I'd say in general a lot of movies had better plots then, and there was a lot more attention to the plot because you couldn't distract audiences with special effects and skimp on the plot like you can now. Also, everything had to be done on real sets, or on location, because there weren't any computer programs that could substitute, like now. Like, say, if you wanted to have a crowd scene, you had to really hire a crowd of people to be in the movie.
Question: What movies did you not like that year?
Answer: I didn't care too much for The Poseidon Adventure.
I also asked my uncle about such things as clothing styles, television programs, music, and books that year. About clothing styles, he said "Clothes were very weird and gaudy in the '70's, not cool like the '60's. I remember lots of plaids and loud colors. Clothes were ugly. I think it was the year of the leisure suit." When I asked him about television that year, the only television show he could recall watching for...
Indeed, the presence of both realistic and fantastical elements in the novel was a strategy consciously made to make young adults appreciate "Harry Potter" fantasy, and at the same time, have the adults achieve a greater imagination development, thereby making the novel also an example of high fantasy literature. Creating the characters in the image of humans, and even the inclusion of the mortal world in the novel, are

Living in the Industrial (21st Century) Society One of the most revolutionary events and changes that happened in all of the world's societies is the emergence of the Industrial Revolution during the turn of the 21st century. During this period, human civilization moved from a communal form of living to a highly-industrialized society, wherein commodities and the needs of people became readily available in quantity because of the invention of
21st Century Leadership What does leadership mean today? The 21st Century environment presents totally different challenges and needs from the previous centuries with regards to leadership. Studies have shown that emotional and social intelligence are two big areas that pertain to 21st century leadership, as they relate to how well leaders can effectively establish positive relationships with followers (Boyatzis, 2008; Den, Deanne, Belschak, 2012; Higgs, 2013; Schyns, Schilling, 2013). There are,
Watts (2005) points out, the book of Isaiah "works to redefine the terms Israel and Jacob for an age of dispersion and change," (p. 1). The message of faith within a changing world, a world in which political turmoil shapes the destiny of a nation, is one that remains relevant in the 21st century. Isaiah encapsulates the concept of diaspora, showing how a dispersed people can remain a nation via
" Pioneer psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud was fascinated by the story of King Oedipus, as Sophocles depicted him within Oedipus the King, as a work of literature. Clearly, however, Freud also recognized how Sophocles's story, at least in a literal sense if not a figurative or psychological one, paralleled his particular new theory of early childhood development, that at the four-year-old stage, a child "falls in love" with the opposite sex parent
