Freedom Writers (Full Screen Edition)

Freedom Writers (Full Screen Edition)

Amazon.com

Though the "inspirational teacher" theme may feel done to death, Freedom Writers succeeds because it emphasizes the students as much as the teacher. Erin Gruwell (Hilary Swank, Million Dollar Baby, Boys Dont Cry) comes to a southern California high school bubbling over with naive optimism, but quickly discovers that her unruly classroom isnt easily won over by her good intentions. After a few floundering attempts to connect with her students, Gruwell gives them the assignment of keeping journals about their own lives--an assignment that the class bites into with relish, which eventually bonds them together and pushes racial rivalries aside. This plotline has been made before, sometimes well, sometimes poorly Freedom Writers, by drawing heavily from the published journals of the students--and thanks to a (mostly) unheroic script, direction that emphasizes individual characters over stereotypes, and rigorous performances from the whole cast--makes the story seem fresh and genuine. Swank does solid work, but the standouts are April L. Hernandez as a girl whose gang wants her to lie and send an innocent boy to jail and Imelda Staunton (Vera Drake) as a teacher who resents Gruwells offbeat success. Also featuring Patrick Dempsey (Greys Anatomy), Scott Glenn (The Right Stuff), and a plethora of strong young actors. --Bret Fetzer

Freedom Writers ought to be watched by ALL administrators, parents, teachers and students!
My eldest son had the worst time in school and so by eighth grade (1986), he was placed in an alternative education school in Queens, New York. He was only one of a short handful of students who was white. Often times he was terribly misunderstood or simply not listened to because of his race, until Martin Luther Kings day was celebrated. My son wrote a beautiful essay about the profound affects MLK left upon his grandparents and me, that which we passed on to him. At first the students and the teacher took offence which caused my son to respond in a negative fashion and I, of course was called. I spoke firmly with my son and then asked to speak with his teacher Ron. My message to Ron was he had the perfect opportunity to get his students to write down why they felt offended and then read and discuss what came from that. Ron, an African American agreed to try my idea. The results were wonderful in many ways. My son still enjoys writing his ideas and thoughts down, his self confidence took a major leap and may of the students from his class are still in touch and still giving encouragement to each other and to many others whom followed.
Freedom Writers was nothing less than inspiration, and a wonderful reminder of my sons experience! Communication is our best tool in overcoming all odds, and, learning about ourselves and one another.

Inspired by real events, the fascinating The Great Debaters reveals one of the seeds of the Civil Rights Movement in its story of Melvin B. Tolson (Denzel Washington in a captivating performance) and his champion 1935 debate club from the all-African-American Wiley College in Texas. Tolson, a Wiley professor, labor organizer, modernist poet, and much else, runs a rigorous debate program at the school, selecting four students as his team in 35, among them the future founder of the Congress of Racial Equality, James Farmer Jr. (Denzel Whitaker). Washington, who directed The Great Debaters from a script by Robert Eisele (The Dale Earnhardt Story), anchors the story with the teams measurable progress, but the film is also about the state of race relations in America at the height of the Great Depression. With lynchings of black men and women a common form of entertainment and black subjugation for many rural whites, the idea of talented and highly intelligent African-American young people learning to think on their feet during debates would seem almost a hopeless endeavor. But thats not the way Tolson sees it, as his students serve themselves and the cause of racial equality in America with energetic arguments in favor of progressive government and non-violence as a viable social movement. There are some startling moments in this movie, particularly the sight of a man found lynched and burned to death, and an extraordinary moment in which we see black sharecroppers and white farmers engaged with Tolson in arguments about unionizing together. Forest Whitaker is outstanding as Farmers emotionally-reserved father, also a Wiley professor. This is the kind of film where one hopes two great actors such as the elder Whitaker and Washington will have a scene together, and when it comes its as powerful as one might hope. --Tom Keogh

Customer ReviewsTHE GREAT DEBATERS.....NOT THAT GREAT!
Rating Point :3 Helpful Point :0
I know there are a lot of people who loved this film and I did enjoy it, but it felt like something was missing. The cast is excellent as well as the subject matter, but many scenes have very uninspired dialogue. The film is also a bit long and that might not have mattered if the dialogue was better throughout. its a good film worth seeing, but its not as great as some reviewers would want you to believe.

A Tragic Triumphant Film
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :0
Professor Melvin Tolson, the character in this movie played by Denzel Washington, describes debate as a "blood sport." Hollywood has taken his words to heart this film has all the formulaic qualities of a sports film about an underdog team that triumphs despite external and internal obstacles. A hockey team, a minor league baseball team, the plot outline is the same. There was a real triumph upon which this film is based in 1935, the debate team from the "colored" Wiley College of Marshall, Texas, did in actuality travel to California and win its historic debate against USC, then the national debate champions. The film fictionalizes that debate, transposing the event to Harvard College nevertheless, literally a true story or not, the cinematic triumph is emotionally powerful and meaningful.

Tolson was a real person, a poet and teacher associated with the "Harlem Renaissance." Likewise, the father and son characters in the film - James Farmer, Sr. and Jr. - were real people. The portrayal of these three is as close to biographical veracity as anyone could ask. The other two debaters are said to be based on real people, but their names have been changed and their characters are essentially fictionalized. I have some hesitation about this Hollywood fictionalizing of such significant historical events I would have preferred less glamour and more candor.

What is NOT fictional -- what is tragic -- is the portrayal of Jim Crow apartheid and racial violence in America. The events portrayed in the film occurred in the 1930s, but enough of segregation, racial humiliation, and racist depravity still existed in the 1950s for me to remember it and to testify in this court of opinion. The cars were different from those in the film but the bigotry and cruelty were the same. I spent my junior high and high school years in Tennessee, Florida, Arkansas, and then in rural communities in California that were culturally Southern satellites. Yes, yes, I KNOW that racism existed in the North, West, Midwest, etc., but the institutionally sanctioned apartheid of the South was different -- more humiliating, more violent, more absolutely a deprivation of any decent kind of life.

...

This film vividly reminds me of that shame. But I also feel a twinge of pride and self-esteem at having been a very small part of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and 70s. James Farmer Jr., the 14-year-old Wiley College student in the film, was a hero of mine then, an activist with CORE and SLID (SDS), two organizations I had a tiny part in. Hes the person who coined the phrase "Freedom Ride", and I was a Freedom Rider, going south from Harvard (of all places!) and taking my share of terror and rough treatment. Any American my age who wasnt a Freedom Rider missed the chance to partake of the noblest and most redemptive act of our lives.

Watching this film in February of 2009 puts it in a special perspective. It was made and released in 2007, at a time when very few people would have dared to predict that an African-American would be elected President of the USA in November 2008! And thats the true triumph, of which the Wiley College debate-team victory was a symbolic foretaste. The fact that Denzel Washington, an African-American, is a box-office star for White as well as Black audiences is also a triumphant outcome of the long struggle for Civil Rights. Washington, its worth knowing, donated $1,000,000 to Wiley College, after the filming, to re-establish its debate team. Who in Marshall TX in 1935 could have imagined a Negro with a million bucks to give away, or a Negro President?

It should be obvious by now that I cant evaluate this film as a piece of entertainment or a feat of acting. The events mean too much to me. Watch it and weep! And cheer!

Awesome Show of Spirit
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :0
Denzel Washington has woven the subculture of social fabric, that of the Black South, into a much greater universal spirit -- into the Spirit of enternal principles of Truth, Justice in this film. He creates on the screen the character that Americans all love -- the James Dean, the John Wayne, the lone fighter who struggles against all odds around him to become singularly victorious and to ultimately change the very social fabric that was holding him back. The victorious underdog is a classic icon of American film and has inspired a dogged determination that lead people to real-life success. Denzel Washington takes an element of history, which is ostensibly a subculture -- that of the Black South, and illustrates that at its heart is it really captured the spirit of the American Culture -- the spirit of determination, dedication, honor, justice and, ultimately, victory. This movie inspired me deeply -- it rekindled my love for freedom, democracy and Denzel. Hes an extraordinary film director and actor.
I had never heard of Melvin B. Tolson, Samantha Booke, Henry Lowe and James Farmer before this film and I am indebted to Director Denzel for bringing them into my life. This film is history, American spirit and awe-inspiring drama.

A Case Of Black Pride
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :0
Although there is some confusion, if not controversy, surrounding the facts on which this commercial film "The Great Debaters" is based it is nevertheless a well-done piece of cinema. When one says the name Denzel Washington, who starred in and directed the film, and adds the imprimatur of Ophrah Winfrey as producer then those factors alone usually insure a well thought out presentation. Add in a slice of pre-1960s civil rights movement Southern Jim Crow black history surrounding the extraordinary abilities of the debate team at Wiley College, a small black Texas college, and the headline of this entry - "A Case Of Black Pride"- tells the tale.

The subject matter of this film: the trials and tribulations of a debate team as it tries to make its mark in the intellectual world would not, on the face it, seem to be a natural subject for a two hour film. Nor would the fact that this debate team was composed of and led by the black "talented tenth" of the 1930s, including James Farmer, Jr. who would later will fame as a main stream "establishment" civil rights leader (and the scorn of younger black militants in the 1960s). However it does. The glue here is the performance of Denzel Washington as the somewhat mysterious hard-driving Northern black intellectual (and friend of Langston Hughes whose work in Spain in the 1930s I have explored elsewhere in this space). Professor Tolson, however, is more than some eccentric college don because he has enlisted in the struggle (or was sent, probably by the Communist or Socialist Party who were both organizing this strata of the agrarian working class in the South at the time) to organize the desperately poor black and white Texas sharecroppers. That story is also a subject worthy of separate discussion at a later time.

As the story unfolds we get a glimpse at black college life in the 1930s with its marching bands, its social life and its pecking orders. What that part of the film looked like was the universality of the college experience, except here everyone was black. The mere fact of being in college in the 1930s, at the height of the Great Depression meant that these student were training to be part of the black elite. Along the way, however, a different reality intrudes, as we are also exposed to black life in the South- Jim Crow style, even for W.E.B. Dubois "talented tenth". Two of the most dramatic scenes in the movie are when Reverend James Farmer, Sr., by all accounts an extremely learned man if somewhat distant father, is humbled by some local "white trash"-for merely driving while black and the seemingly obligatory gratuitous lynching of a black man that the debate team witnessed in its travels. Powerful stuff.

The controversy surrounding the facts, if that is the case, is the question of whether the centerpiece of the 1935-36 debating season, a debate with the august Harvard University team actually occurred and whether the subject matter of this seminal debate was on the virtues and vices of civil disobedience. This would hardly be the first, and will probably not be the last, commercial film to "juice up" the story in order to create better dramatic tension. In short, to make it a "feel good" movie for the black and progressive audiences that I assume it was intended to reach. That should not take away from the achievements of this debate team, the courage of Professor Tolson in organizing Southern sharecroppers or the hard reality of "lynch law" in the Jim Crow South of the 1930s. Well acted, well thought out and well-intended it deserves a careful watching. Do so.

From 1895 to 1898, Cuban insurgents fought to free their homeland from Spanish rule. Though often overshadowed by the "Splendid Little War" of the Americans in 1898, the longer Spanish-Cuban conflict, according to John Tone, was in fact more remarkable, foreshadowing the wars of decolonization in the twentieth century.Employing newly released evidence, including hospital records, intercepted Cuban letters, battle diaries from both sides, and Spanish administrative records, Tone offers new answers to old questions concerning the war. He examines the origin of Spain's genocidal policy of "reconcentration"; the causes of Spain's military difficulties; the condition, effectiveness, and popularity of the Cuban insurgency; the necessity of American intervention; and Spain's supposed foreknowledge of defeat.The Spanish-Cuban-American war proved pivotal in the histories of all three countries involved. Tone's fresh analysis will provoke new discussions and debates among historians and human rights scholars as they reexamine the war in which the concentration camp was invented, Cuba was born, Spain lost its empire, and America gained an overseas empire.

The first study to explore specifically Marti's leadership qualities and style of leadership, the book demonstrates that Marti actively sought leadership of the Cuban struggle for independence, effectively applying his personal qualities to meet the needs and desires of his community of emigres in Key West. Ronning shows how Marti never lost sight of what he perceived as higher humanitarian and humanistic goals for a truly just republic.

Ernesto Che Guevara was only 39 years old when he was executed in the Bolivian mountains in 1967. This film tells the story of Che's short life: his childhood in Argentina, his early interest in the Spanish Civil War, the motorcycle trip through Latin America that changed his life forever. Raul Castro and other friends remember Che's first encounter with Fidel Castro in Mexico in 1955, as well as his involvement in the Cuban revolution and rumors of his disappearance in 1965.

Che includes a selection from each book, showing the young Argentines evolution from the wide-eyed medical student of the Motorcycle Diaries-era to the revolutionary hero the world knows as Che.

That Infernal Little Cuban Republic The United States and the Cuban Revolution
Binding: Hardcover
Rating: 4.5
Review: 6
Studio: The University of North Carolina Press
Cuba has regularly given Washington a headache, Lars Schoultz observes in his comprehensive chronicle of U.S. policy toward the Cuban Revolution. Seeking relief, even the most patient U.S. officials have often been tempted to repeat what an exasperated President Theodore Roosevelt told a friend in 1906: "I am so angry with that infernal little Cuban republic that I would like to wipe its people off the face of the earth." Certainly that has been true since 1959, when a group of rebels led by Fidel Castro ousted Fulgencio Batista, a dictator known for his friendly ties to the United States, and proceeded to cause more trouble than anyone could have imagined. Using a rich array of documents and firsthand interviews with U.S. and Cuban officials, Schoultz tells the story of the attempts and failures of ten U.S. administrations to end the Cuban Revolution. He covers everything from the legendary 1960s plot to assassinate Castro using a rigged ballpoint pen to the message that recently ran across the electronic billboard of the U.S. interests section in Havana: "Communism doesn't work because people like to own stuff"--a comment attributed to the late rocker Frank Zappa.Schoultz argues that despite the overwhelming advantage in size and power that the United States enjoys over its neighbor, the Cubans' historical insistence on their right to self-determination has inevitably irritated American administrations, influenced both U.S. domestic politics and foreign policy, and led to a freeze in diplomatic relations of unprecedented longevity. Schoultz's analysis illuminates what has been a highly unproductive foreign policy and points to fresh prospects as a new century of U.S.-Cuban relations begins.

As the world changes, the 21st century brings Cubans to a crossroads. Many political theories that developed and flourished in the previous century proved to be based upon ideologies that failed to last. Some of them were changed by revolution, and some by evolutionary changes that provided better ideas and better lives for their people. Some just collapsed and were discarded by people wanting better lives and faded into history. Fidel Castro's Cuba faces the 21st century at that crossroad. The Cuban people face momentous decisions as they face the future.

Studio: The University of North Carolina Press
Analyzing the crucial period of the Cuban Revolution from 1959 to 1961, Samuel Farber challenges dominant scholarly and popular views of the revolution's sources, shape, and historical trajectory. Unlike many observers, who treat Cuba's revolutionary leaders as having merely reacted to U.S. policies or domestic socioeconomic conditions, Farber shows that revolutionary leaders, while acting under serious constraints, were nevertheless autonomous agents pursuing their own independent ideological visions, although not necessarily according to a master plan.Exploring how historical conflicts between U.S. and Cuban interests colored the reactions of both nations' leaders after the overthrow of Fulgencio Batista, Farber argues that the structure of Cuba's economy and politics in the first half of the twentieth century made the island ripe for radical social and economic change, and the ascendant Soviet Union was on hand to provide early assistance. Taking advantage of recently declassified U.S. and Soviet documents as well as biographical and narrative literature from Cuba, Farber focuses on three key years to explain how the Cuban rebellion rapidly evolved from a multiclass, antidictatorial movement into a full-fledged social revolution.

Studio: Oxford University Press, USA
This timely and provocative study provides a reexamination of the achievements and failures of the Cuban revolution, placing it firmly within the context of twentieth century Cuban history. Beginning with the inauguration of the republic in 1902 and addressing Castro's triumphant entry into Santiago de Cuba in 1959, The Cuban Revolution highlights the factors which made Cuba susceptible to revolution, including its one-crop (sugar) economy and U.S. interference in Cuban affairs. While identifying nationalism and the struggle for social justice as the legitimate forces behind the revolution, Perez-Stable also provides insight into the problems facing Castro's Cuba. Arguing that the revolution actually ended in 1970, she blames its defeat on the regime's profitable yet doomed dependence on the Soviet Union. She further charges that Cuba's leaders failed to diversify the country's economy, to sustain development, or to create democratic institutions. Now in its second edition, The Cuban Revolution has been updated to include an entirely new chapter on the changes affecting Cuba's policies and economy since the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and the failure of communism in general. The second edition also includes a new preface, an up-to-date bibliography, and a thoroughly revised concluding chapter summing up the prospects and possibilities of Cuba's future in the twenty-first century. Ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in Latin American history and politics, The Cuban Revolution offers students fresh insights into the successes and failures of the Cuban Revolution.

Reminiscences is one of the two books for Steven Soderbergh's biopic (along with The Bolivian Diary). Feature chapters describe Che's first meeting with Fidel in Mexico, the mythical moment when Che had to choose between a knapsack of medicine and another of ammunition, and the anguished story of the murdered puppy. This new, thoroughly revised edition includes for the first time corrections made to the diary by Che himself and a preface by his daughter Aleida about how her parents met in the midst of the revolutionary war.

Perhaps I should start by admitting a bias: Many years ago, lying on Bostons grassy Esplanade by the Charles River on warm summer nights, I learned what a symphony orchestra should sound like, with Arthur Fiedler conducting the Boston Pops Orchestra. Those concerts were free these seven compact discs are not--not quite. But for any lover of light classical music, they are certainly one of the best buys available. The orchestra (essentially the Boston Symphony) is one of the worlds greatest the music, from Smoke Gets in Your Eyes to the Goyescas Intermezzo and Ride of the Valkyries is instantly enjoyable and permanently valuable the conductor is at the same time genial and exacting, convinced that any music you play, no matter how frivolous, deserves the best you can give it. --Joe McLellan

Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :1
This is a great compilation recorded in the days of "The Boston Pops" greatest director Arthur Fiedler. You will be delighted in listening long and forgotten recordings by Fiedlers Pops, like Gershwin, "Cuban Overture", "Prince Igor, Polovetsian Dances" etc. etc. A must have for all classical music and Boston Pops Fans. This great compilation makes one reminisce of old times Boston and its silver shining cold autumn afternoons and strolls on the Boston Common. The days when Arthur Fiedlers Boston Pops presence was felt in "The Hub". Dont miss this great CD album set.

I cannot find any reasonable objection to this product.

Must Have
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :1
When I was a child in the late 50s and 60s, the evening meal was eaten at the dining table, with the whole family gathered together. We always had music playing ... usually Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops Orchestra. This great collection of Arthur Fiedlers works includes many of Fiedlers favorites, but also many of my familys favorites, too.

I have my entire CD collection in ITunes, and added this compilation to the others. I now have over 16 Fiedler CD collections, which total over 28 CDs. I am surprised at how many pieces are not duplicated from other CDs or CD collections in "100 Fiedler Favorites."

When I first played these 7 CDs, I was thrilled. However, when I compared the duplicates from this collection to the other CDs, I was greatly disappointed in the tonal quality.

When I mentioned this to someone who has used ITunes longer than I have, he suggested that I re-import my entire collection at 320 kbps, instead of the default setting (128 kbps) that I had used. Some hours later, I was glad that I had taken the time.

While I can still hear a SLIGHT difference in the sound quality, it is minimal. Unless you bounce back and forth between two recordings of the same piece, it IS NOT obvious. I am once again delighted with this collection.

Based on its name, one would expect to have 100 pieces in this collection. Yet, in true Fiedler fashion, there is an encore, making a total of 101!



If you enjoy this, I would also recommend the Fiedler Legacy collection, as a supplement to 100 Fiedler Favorites. (If I could only have one, I would PROBABLY choose "100 Fiedler Favorites" but The Arthur Fiedler Legacy, as a set, is pretty spectacular, too) The Arthur Fiedler Legacy is not sold as a set each of the 5 CDs is sold separately.

"The Arthur Fiedler Legacy: Stars and Stripes: An American Concert" includes 76 Trombones, Trumpeters Lullaby, The Entertainer, Bernsteins Music from Mass, variations on America, etc. (Not found on Amazon on 5/7/08.)

"The Arthur Fiedler Legacy: Symphonic Spectacular" includes 1812 Overture, Sabre Dance, Bolero, Bachs Fugue in G Major, Danse Macabre, etc. The Arthur Fiedler Legacy: Symphonic Spectacular

"The Arthur Fiedler Legacy: Evening at Pops" includes Aquarius from "Hair", Blue Danube, Gypsy Baron March, Tubby the Tuba, In the Hall of the Mountain King, Dream Pantomime from Hansel & Gretel, etc.The Arthur Fiedler Legacy: Evening at the Pops

"The Arthur Fiedler Legacy: From Famous Broadway to Hollywoods Reel Thing" includes medleys from Fiddler on the Roof, Mary Poppins, Star Wars Theme, Alfie, Midnight Cowboy and Day by Day from "Godspell," etc. The Arthur Fiedler Legacy: From Fabulous Broadway to Hollywoods Reel Thing

"The Arthur Fiedler Legacy: Superstars and Songbooks" includes I think I love you, King of the Road, Do you know the way to San Jose, Leaving on a Jet Plane, etc. Superstars and Songbooks: Pops by Arrangement


Those 5 Legacy sets, each with 2 CDs, when added to "100 Fiedler Favorites," make a total of 265 pieces, for a total of nearly 21 hours of listening! Yet I only see 8 duplicates: Little Fugue in G minor, Stardust, Jalousie, Dream Pantomime from Hansel and Gretel, Sabre Dance, Days of Wine & Roses, Blue Danube and, of course, Stars and Strips Forever.


My only disappointment in either 100 Fiedler Favorites or the Legacy collections, is the arrangement of the songs. I understand why Arthur Fiedler Legacy CDs are packaged the way they are: The title of the CD explains the style of music.

With the 100 Fiedler Favorites, the first 3 CDs are a nice mix of Light Classical music. CD #4 is mostly Strauss waltzes and polkas, with a waltz by Lehar and Waldteufel thrown in for good measure. CD #5 is mostly marches, including, but not limited to, patriotic marches. CD #6 features American composers who lived in this century: Gershwin, Copeland, Gould, Rodgers, Anderson and Cohen. CD #7 is primarily a mix of more "current" songs (Bearing in mind that Fiedler died in 1979, "current" is current for his time: Mancini and the Beatles, Stevie Wonder I Left My Heart in San Francisco The First Time I Saw Your Face Smoke Gets in Your Eyes).

I personally would have preferred a mix of all of these, rather than straight CDs of one type of music. (Which is why I like ITunes!)

If you are a Fiedler fan, or enjoy the light classics, this is a "Must Have" set.

Very satisfying
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :1
Favorites from my youth, wonderful to hear again. Fine selection, musically and technically high class. We listen to them often.

Much more than you ever imagine!
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :1

Who can deny Arthur Fielder was the most charismatic American conductor of the Century? . This acknowledgement goes far beyond the fact his countless efforts for bringing the academic music to wider audiences. His gifts as conductor have deserved him several insurmountable versions ( Liszt Preludes, De Sousa, Strauss Thunder Polka, Mendelssohn s Fingal cave, Gershwins works and so many other radiant performances) .

Fielder got simply to express with major level of Dionysian euphoria, showy elegance, pristine brilliantness, and orchestral coloratura, the sense and heartfelt conviction about the meaning of the works he used to conduct.

Dont miss these jeweled performances.

Raven Images KC0283 Che Guevara Keychain B W On Cuban Flag
Studio: Raven Images
The Marxist rebel and revolutionary, Che Guevara, played a pivotal role in Fidel Castro's 26th of July Movement that intended to overthrow Cuban dictator Fulgencio Battista. Born Ernesto Guevara de la Serna, Che was also an Argentine doctor and a politician. He embodies symbolized the struggle against oppression and tyranny. Che Gevara was named by Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential people of the 20th Century. In the late 1960s, he became a popular icon symbolizing revolution and left-wing political ideals among youngsters in Western and Middle Eastern culture. A dramatic photograph of Guevara taken by photographer Alberto Korda soon became one of the century's most recognizable images, and the portrait was simplified and reproduced on a vast array of merchandise, such as T-shirts, posters, coffee mugs, and baseball caps. Killed at age 39, in 1967, Guevara became a romantic symbol of humanty's quest to overcome antagonists and search for liberation and justice.
