She doesn't raise the curtain so much as tear it open.) What Alcott's novel needed, as a movie, is a filmmaker with her own sensibility (Gerwig is fond of throwaway profundities, wildness, physicality and human strangeness), somebody who hasn't adapted a beloved book just because it's beloved but because she's found in it something to say.

Los Angeles Times. Part IV, p. 13. Gary Arnold of The Washington Post wrote that "it becomes painfully evident that Russell, the Great Vulgarian of contemporary filmmaking, should have quit while he was ahead, sort of. A boudoir-farce approach to the life and legend of Liszt would have been trivial-minded, but harmlessly trivial-minded compared to the collection of obscene fantasies and gassy profundities Russell resorts to after his muse runs out of comic ideas."Arnold, Gary (24 October 1975).

James Atherton states that despite the amount of critical work "explaining [the book's] profundities from various viewpoints and in varying ways [...] agreement has still not been reached on many fundamental points" Atherton 2009, p. ii; Vincent Cheng similarly argues that "through the efforts of a dedicated handful of scholars, we are approaching a grasp of the Wake.

" Hanserik Hjertén for Arbetaren started his review by praising the cinematography, but soon went on to describe the film as "a horror film for children" and said that beyond the superficial, it is mostly reminiscent of Bergman's "sophomoric films from the 40s." Bergman's international reputation, on the other hand, was largely cemented by The Seventh Seal. Bosley Crowther had only positive things to say in his 1958 review for The New York Times, and praised how the themes were elevated by the cinematography and performances: "the profundities of the ideas are lightened and made flexible by glowing pictorial presentation of action that is interesting and strong. Mr. Bergman uses his camera and actors for sharp, realistic effects.

It was first described by the French- Jewish mathematician Levi ben Gerson"The Mathematics of Levi ben Gershon, the Ralbag"David G. Krehbiel "Jacob's Staff", Backsights, Surveyor's Historical Society of Provence, in his "Book of the Wars of the Lord" translated in Latin as well as Hebrew. He used a Hebrew name for the staff that translates to “Revealer of Profundities.” The term “Jacob’s staff” was not used by Ben Gerson himself but by his Christian contemporaries. However, its invention was likely due to fellow French-Jewish astronomer Jacob ben Makir who also lived in Provence in the same period. Attributions to 15th century Austrian astronomer Georg Purbach are less likely correct, since Purbach was not born until 1423.

Economist Thomas Mayer has stated that Austrians advocate a rejection of the scientific method which involves the development of empirically falsifiable theories. Furthermore, economists have developed numerous experiments that elicit useful information about individual preferences. Although economist Leland Yeager is sympathetic to Austrian economics, he rejects many favorite views of the Misesian group of Austrians, in particular "the specifics of their business-cycle theory, ultra- subjectivism in value theory and particularly in interest-rate theory, their insistence on unidirectional causality rather than general interdependence, and their fondness for methodological brooding, pointless profundities, and verbal gymnastics". Economist Paul A. Samuelson wrote in 1964 that most economists believe that economic conclusions reached by pure logical deduction are limited and weak.
