So IMDB.
What is IMDB?
Well it is not I am DB - because i'm not, I am not a database, I am a human bring damn it!
Now that we made it clear, IMDB stands for Internet Movie Database, here is the link to the site.
You can find here any information you want on any movie, actor, director etc.
If you don't know it, that's a nice piece of information, but you probably do know this site, and what the hell does it have to do with learning?!
Well the best way to learn anything, is to find it interesting, useful and fun. And if you like films, and specific actors or directors, there is a ton of interesting and fun information that can be found in IMDB.
But is it useful?
Here is the best thing you should know, if something is interesting and fun than it can always be useful. When things are easy and fun you remember them better, you make the right connections in your brain, and you can use them much faster.
I'll show you how it works, I will give you some fun facts from IMDB, and connect them to a piece of information that is useful as knowledge. Ready - lets start.
You probably know there is a Batman vs Superman movie coming up (already useful information), but did Batman ever had a quarrel with this guy on a movie?
Did Batman and Wolverine ever fought one another. Or even being friend at a movie?
They actually been both, maybe they had different custom but they sure did meet on the big screen.
If you look for Wolverine on Google you will see many images of this guy.
Hugh Jackman. But if this is our Wolverine, than who is Batman? (If only the Joker knew about IMDB)
Well - it is not Ben Affleck just yet. And if we don't count the Lego Batman, or the animated Batman, the last batman was Christian Bale.
So we have Christian Bale VS Hugh Jackman - do you know what movie I'm thinking of?
If you haven't guest already, just go to this page in IMDB - and look for yourself
And there you have it:
The Prestige - a great movie. If you haven't seen it yet - now is a very good time.
But we are not stopping yet. Because recently we had a great lose on the music industry, we lost the great David Bowie. You might say - what does Bowie have to do with anything?
Bowie was not only a talented musician, but he was also a great actor. And one of his smaller parts was int the movie The Prestige as Nikola Tesla
Tesla has worked with Edison before going on his own, and he was actually the first to invent radio transmission. He is one of the people that enabled delivering electric power to private houses, and he actually succeeded in transmitting electricity wirelessly. You can learn even more through this wiki page:
So we started with Batman and Wolverine, and got to Bowie and Tesla. And that is what learning is making connections between thing. And if it is interesting and fun - even better.
And - I just made you learn a thing or two about Tesla. In other words you just learned on Electricity and Physics
