-*[[1889]] - The [[Eiffel Tower]] is inaugurated in Paris. +
- +
-The '''Eiffel Tower''' is an [[iron]] [[tower]] in [[Paris]], [[France]]. It is one of the tallest structures in Paris and one of the most recognized and visited monuments in the world. Named after its designer, engineer [[Gustave Eiffel]], it stands as a symbol to the modernity of [[Nineteenth century Paris]].+
- +
-The tower was met with [[criticism]] from the [[public opinion|public]] when it was built, with many calling it an [[eyesore]]. (Novelist [[Guy de Maupassant]] — who claimed to hate the tower — supposedly ate lunch at the Tower's restaurant every day. When asked why, he answered that it was the one place in Paris where you couldn't see the Tower.) +
- +
-One of the great [[Hollywood movie cliché]]s is that the view from a Parisian window always includes the tower. In reality, since zoning restrictions limit the height of most buildings in Paris to 7 stories, only a very few of the taller buildings have a clear view of the tower. The relationship Eiffel Tower/Paris is [[metonymical]].+

-'''Volker Schlöndorff''' (born in [[Wiesbaden]], [[Germany]] on [[March 31]] [[1939]]) is a [[German film]]maker generally categorized in the [[New German Cinema]] movement. +
- +
-'''New German cinema''' is a period in [[Cinema of Germany|German cinema]] which lasted from the late [[1960s]] into the [[1980s]]. It saw the emergence of a new generation of directors. Working with [[low budget]]s, and influenced by the [[French New Wave]], such directors as [[Rainer Werner Fassbinder]], [[Werner Herzog]], [[Alexander Kluge]], [[Volker Schlöndorff]], [[Margarethe von Trotta]], [[Hans-Jürgen Syberberg]] and [[Wim Wenders]] made names for themselves and produced a number of "small" motion pictures that caught the attention of the [[Art film|art house]] audiences.+
- +
-Schlöndorff is best-known for ''[[The Tin Drum (film)|The Tin Drum]]'' (1979), the film version of the novel by [[Günter Grass]]. Of his filmography, I am most eager to see ''[[Der junge Törless|Young Törless]]'' ([[1966]]).+
- +
-'''''Young Törless''''' ([[German language|German]]: ''Der junge Törless'') is a [[1966 in film|1966]] [[Cinema of Germany|German film]] directed by [[Volker Schlöndorff]], adapted from the autobiographical novel ''[[The Confusions of Young Törless]]'' by [[Robert Musil]]. The film examens the [[origins of fascism]] by focusing on the [[sadistic]] and [[homo-erotic]] [[bullying]] in a boys [[military academy]] at the beginning of the 20th century.+
