The Mighty Pen

16/4/2015

 
By Gabriel Zultanic

Some magazine issues are planned but a sincere magazine must also have issues that are a response.  This issue of The Kallipolitan Magazine is inspired by one event more than any other and that is the passing of Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano.  The man wrote with more of a conscience than most of the national leaders of the twentieth century.  He was beloved by all of us here at The Kallipolitan and it is only right that we put off whatever we were going to write about and write about his legacy.

Man From Nowhere

15/4/2015

 
By Toshiro Diggs 

The Man from Nowhere is a 2010 South Korean action-thriller film that came out of nowhere to become one of the best films of 2010.  Starring Won Bin in his first defining role, the film was written and directed by the impeccable Lee Jeong-beom.  It is bloody and violent to the nth degree.  The film tells the tale of a grieving special forces agent living a forlorn life as a pawnshop owner.  His only contact with the outside world is a wide-eyed and friendless little girl with a drug-addicted mother.

Vive La Révolution

The French hip-hop scene is an intriguing one in terms of music and where it currently is in its history.  Unlike other hip-hop traditions it is not dependent on the American manifestation, the original home of hip-hop.  The French brand has its own traditions and has evolved independently of mainstream American rap.  French hip-hop has a very different message, there is more to it than love and material gain, bling; there is the addressing of issues, such as immigration, politics, religion, abuse, violence, and race.  But music is more than a message because even mainstream American hip-hop addresses some of these issues.

We Love You Eduardo!

15/4/2015

 
By Ahmed Latif 

I am a person who enjoys the dichotomy that comes from reading the works of very talented ideological opposites or rivals or stylistic antonyms.  I enjoy Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner, Averroes and Al-Ghazali, Mario Vargas Llosa and Gabriel García Márquez, John Dos Passos and Martin Andersen Nexø or Maxim Gorky.  I enjoy all of their works not equally but on the same level.  But there is no one like Eduardo Galeano; he has no rival because who could match him.
