Tarzen Yell
   Purnima is the advertising agency that has been
    handling brand X‘s creative and media
    mandate for the last 30 years and has been
    consistently focussing on the value-for-money
    angle. Its creation has continued to echo in the
    drawing rooms of middle-class Indian homes
    through the decades. While it stresses on the
    product, it also salutes the savvy and budget-
    conscious Indian housewife.
   It was first aired on radio in 1975, was broadcast
    on television in 1982. It is one of the longest
    running of its kind and the spot has seen very
    few changes since the time it was first aired.

   Also known as frozen time, the big freeze, dead time, flow motion, or
    time slice X is a special and visual effect that refers to a digitally
    enhanced simulation of variable-speed (i.e. slow motion, time-lapse,
    etc.) photography used in films, broadcast advertisements, and
    video games. It is characterized both by its extreme transformation
    of time (slow enough to show normally imperceptible and
    unfilmable events) and space (by way of the ability of the camera
    angle—the audience's point-of-view—to move around the scene at
    a normal speed while events are slowed). This is almost impossible
    with conventional slow-motion, as the physical camera would have
    to move impossibly fast.
   Gimme X and where did we first come across X.
Bullet Time - Matrix
   The reason the secret police are called ―X" is because the New
    Order was arranged on the model of the human body.
   The Chancellor was the Head; the television station BTN was the
    mouth;
   visual and audio surveillance were the Eye and the Ear;
   Inspector Finch was part of The Nose, the police force, and Creedy's
    secret police were the Hand.




   ID X or Gimme where
Fingermen
   Since his debut in X, Neuman's likeness, distinguished by jug ears, a
    missing front tooth, and one eye lower than the other has become
    the face of X. His face is rarely seen in profile; he has virtually always
    been shown in full frontal view, directly from behind, or in silhouette.
    Harvey Kurtzman first spotted the image on a postcard pinned to
    the office bulletin board of Ballantine Books editor Bernard Shir-Cliff.
    "It was a face that didn't have a care in the world, except mischief,"
    recalled Kurtzman.
   He has been characterised with a punch phrase
   ―What- Me Worry?‖


   Where have we seen him??
The following are the last lines of
Ulysses by Lord Alfred Tennyson
Where did you recently come
across these lines??
“We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”
Skyfall- M‘s Speech
What has been carried out by the
following??
    Slats (1917–1928)
    Jackie (1928-1956)
    Tanner (1934–1956) and George (1956–1958)
    Leo (1957-present)


    It has been parodied many a times replacing with it with a
     character imitating the act.
    Three times it did not perform its complete duty due to public
     sentiments.

Gimme X

    X (April 26, 1937) was an aerial attack on the Basque town of Y in
     Spain causing widespread destruction and civilian deaths, during
     the Spanish Civil War. The raid by planes of the German Luftwaffe
     "Condor Legion" and the Italian Fascist Aviazione Legionaria was
     called Operation Rügen.
    The number of victims of the attack is disputed; The Basque
     government reported 1,654 people killed, although modern
     speculations suggests between 126 to 400 civilians The bombing has
     often been considered one of the first raids in the history of modern
     military aviation on a defenceless civilian population
Geurnica by Pablo Picasso
What comes next???
Professor Flitwick
ID the novel or the author

    Due to implicit themes criticising the government and its policies this
     novel was heavily banned and censored in the writer‘s motherland.
    While smuggling the author is said to have remarked "You are
     hereby invited to watch me face the firing squad.―
    The author won the 1958 Nobel Prize for literature but was told that if
     he left the country to receive the prize he may never return
    He was threatened by exile from his motherland which was
     prevented by intervention by Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru
    Bill Mauldin produced a political cartoon lampooning the country‘s
     campaign against X. The cartoon depicts X and another convict
     splitting trees in the snow. In the caption, Pasternak says, "I won the
     Nobel Prize for literature. What was your crime?"
Boris Pasternek
ID X

    X was an Indian film producer and owner of Paramount Studios
     (later Filmalaya)[1] from 1931 to 1941. His productions, mainly stunt
     films, included Circus Queen, Golden Gang, and Sheikh Challi.
    X was known for his family-centered, action-song-and-dance films
     which catered to the tastes of the Indian masses and through which
     he achieved great success. His movies defined a new genre called
     masala films.

Inspiration behind what??

    The world of X is a romantic vision of a dying Mars, which got its start
     when Giovanni Virginio Schiaparelli claimed he could see canals on
     the surface. Writers and science popularizers like Camille
     Flammarion, who was convinced that Mars was at a later stage of
     evolution than Earth and therefore much more dry.
    Y is transported to X in a way described by Flammarion in Urania
     (1889), where a man from earth is transported to Mars as an astral
     body where he wakes up to a lower gravity, two moons, strange
     plants and animals and several races of advanced humans.
    It has been argued that almost all fiction and fantasy literature took
     direct/indirect inspiration from him.
Edgar Rice Burroughs‘s
   X is a 1981 best-selling Pakistani pop album. Performed by Pakistani
    singer Nazia Hassan with Zoheb Hassan, her brother, it was
    produced by an Indian producer Biddu. It charted in fourteen
    countries worldwide and became the best-selling Asian pop record
    to-date. It changed trends in music across South Asia, where it broke
    sales records, such as selling 100,000 records within a day of its
    release in Bombay alone.[2] In South Asia, where the music industry
    was previously dominated by filmi soundtracks
   It was brought in limelight again in 2012 where the family members
    accused Y of using the songs without proper licensing.

Who‘s Y?

    X is known in English as "Heroic Fighter" is an iconic photo of Y
     wearing his black beret taken by Alberto Korda. It was taken on
     March 5, 1960, at a memorial service for victims of the La Coubre
     explosion and by the end of the 1960s turned the Y into a cultural
     icon. Korda has said that at the moment he shot the picture, he was
     drawn to Y's facial expression, which showed "absolute
     implacability" as well as anger and pain. Years later, Korda would
     say that the photo showed Y‘s firm and stoic character.
    Versions of it have been painted, printed, digitized, embroidered,
     tattooed, silk-screened, sculpted or sketched on nearly every
     surface imaginable, leading the Victoria and Albert Museum to say
     that the photo has been reproduced more than any other image in
     photography

    Yes I stooped so low to make a question.
X or the song??
    An Ark Music Factory client told X's mother about the
     company's production services in late 2010; X was 13 at
     the time, and living in Anaheim Hills, California.X's
     mother, Georgina Kelly, paid Ark Music $4,000 for a song
     and accompanying video that included a choice of
     two pre-written songs. According to Kelly, the payment
     covered one half or less of the production costs of the
     music video, and X's family could have paid nothing in
     exchange for giving up all rights to the song.X chose ―Y",
     as "the other song was about adult love – I haven't
     experienced that yet. I felt like it was my personality in
     that song.
    According to Randy Lewis of Los Angeles Times, the
     familiar structure contributes to the song's catchiness,
     making it an "earworm"
How do we better know him as


                    First appearing in 1971,Mr
                     Mojo Risin was used and
                     brought in focus because of
                     use in X which according to
                     John Densmore's,one of
                     many who created him,
                     ―cause it contained the
                     black slang word mojo (for
                     sexual prowess), I got the
                     idea to steadily increase the
                     tempo back up to the
                     original speed, a la orgasm."
   There have been numerous rumours and theories as to X's identity.
    Names often suggested include Robert Banks and Robin
    Gunningham.[
   Simon Hattenstone from The Guardian is one of the very few people
    to have interviewed him face to face. Hattenstone describes him as
    "a cross of Jimmy Nail and British rapper Mike Skinner" and "a 28-year
    old male who showed up wearing jeans and a t-shirt with a silver
    tooth, silver chain, and one silver earring.In the same interview, X
    claimed that his parents think he is a painter and decorator
   X himself states on his website:
I am unable to comment on who may or may not be X, but anyone
described as being 'good at drawing' doesn't sound like X to me

Also known as frozen time, the big freeze, dead time, flow motion, or time slice X is a special and visual effect that refers to a digitally enhanced simulation of variable-speed (i.e. slow motion, time-lapse, etc.) photography used in films, broadcast advertisements, and video games. It is characterized both by its extreme transformation of time (slow enough to show normally imperceptible and unfilmable events) and space (by way of the ability of the camera angle—the audience's point-of-view—to move around the scene at a normal speed while events are slowed).
