Escape from L.A. – DivX Version (Normal Quality), iPod/iPhone Version
|
IMDB rating: 5.10 Plot: Sequel to “Escape From New York”. In 2000, a huge earthquake hits Los Angeles which causes the whole city to be now situated on an island. In that year the new life-term US President, an out-spoken moralist declares that all people not conforming to the high morals he sets for the country will be deported to the Los Angeles island. Like New York, a wall is built, guards posted to stop any escapes and if sent there – you can’t return to the US. In 2013, Cuervo Jones, a terrorist invades the dreams of the President’s daughter, Utopia, and brainwashes her into stealing a device from a weapons establishment and runs with Cuervo to the island. Snake Plissken, hero of Escape From New York, is forced again to go to the island to get the device by the President (who doesn’t care if Utopia returns or not.) and he is poisoned to ensure his co-operation. Like New York, Los Angeles is now a decaying city, a hot-bed of scum and weirdos and Snake has 9 hours to find the device and Utopia, and get out before the poison kicks in. |

What happened in the Rebellion to escape to Haiti during the times of Slavery?
I am really stuck. Toussaint L’Ouverture led a rebellion against the Plantation Owner, but what happened in this – did the plantation owner give in to the massive crowd of slaves, or did they escape secretly? Or did the Plantation Owner give the island to the Slaves? Do you know the real answer? Please Help Me, Answers are GREATLY appreciated. Thank you.
How could you be studying this time period and not have read THE DRUM AND THE HOE? That is THE definitive work on the Haitian Revolution and is the place to start when doing any research on the subject.
If you read it you would learn how the Haitians FORCED the French into the mountains.. THEN THEY BURNED THE MOUNTAINS.. which got rid of a lot of French but it also got rid of the VEGETATION and caused the loss of top soil which is why Haiti looks more like Morocco than it’s next door neighbor the Dominican Republic.
The MAIN event though, happened at THE CITADEL near O’Cap.. when the French Fleet came back to re-take Haiti.. King Christoph took the French Generals up to that Mountain top fortress and had them watch while he lined up his elite guard on the top of one wall, 130 feet above the ground.. and ordered them to march off the wall to their death.
He made the point to the French the Haitians were determined to either defeat the French or they would chose to die rather that return to Slavery… It impressed the French so much.. they left.
If you have never visited the CITADEL and SANS SOUCI and the CHRISTOPH HOTEL in Cap Haitian.. then you don’t know anything about Haitian history and can’t possibly understand it without visiting those sites.
