The struggles quietly underplaying all of the camp surface activity are many: the dichotomy of a Communist ideology removing the Church from existence with a people dependent upon the spiritual values of religion, the Stalin/Tito issue, the adjustments to the policies of Communist regime in a country where fierce national pride had ruled, and the depersonalization of children into political pawns despite the need for role models and the luxury of growing up with friends and confidants.

They go on the road through the South while underplaying their identities, which leads them on a journey with the potential buyers.

An assumption behind this model is that women were constrained from certain activities due to decreased mobility resulting from pregnancy and their role in raising young children. This model has been critiqued by feminist anthropologists, as underplaying the evolutionary importance of women in favor of portraying them strictly as passive objects of reproduction and nothing more. Adrienne Zihlman, tracing the evolutionary achievements ascribed to males as hunters, pointed out that female gathering activities could just as easily account for such adaptations. Joan Gero challenged androcentric explanations of tool- making on several levels.

The book has also been criticized for underplaying the racial elements of the British imperial project.

Dickens 1970, pp. 18–19. In his review of Cooper's performance in The Real Glory, Graham Greene wrote, "Sometimes his lean photogenic face seems to leave everything to the lens, but there is no question here of his not acting. Watch him inoculate the girl against cholera—the casual jab of the needle, and the dressing slapped on while he talks, as though a thousand arms had taught him where to stab and he doesn't have to think anymore." Cooper's style of underplaying before the camera surprised many of his directors and fellow actors.

But something's missing from this well-made venture. What's there is more than respectable, while staying this side of surprising." Joe Neumaier of the New York Daily News gave it three out of five stars, saying, "With the exception of some appearances by social media, 'Carrie' doesn't try to hip up King's basic, often slow story. And while De Palma's version is fondly recalled as a high-blood-mark of the 1970s, this new take seems to linger a bit more on the bugaboos of overparenting and bullying while underplaying Mama's fanaticism.

" Sepinwall noted that Carell's return managed to not "overshadow the stories of the people who remained after he left, but which made sense for the characters, and the end of the series." Adams noted that "Carell doesn't get a lot to say—he's already had his chance to say goodbye—but that just makes each of his lines count more". Cornet felt that the cameo's "brevity" was "the perfect amount of Michael for this particular episode". Poniewozik described it as "a way that as best as possible walked the line between overplaying and underplaying Steve Carell's cameo.

He died in Haldwani, on his way to Delhi from Nainital, to where he had travelled to scout for locations for his upcoming debut directorial feature film.

Oliver did not intend the social model of disability to be an all-encompassing theory of disability, but rather a starting point in reframing how society views disability. This model was conceived of as a tool that could be used to improve the lives of disabled people, rather than a complete explanation for every experience and circumstance. It has been criticized for underplaying the role of impairments. It has also been criticized for not promoting the normal differences between disabled people, who can have any age, gender, race, and sexual orientation, and instead presenting them as a monolithic, insufficiently individuated block of people.

During its early success on radio, Dragnet was popular enough to move to television. More important was that it brought continuity between the television and radio series, using the same script devices and many of the same actors. Liggett & Myers sponsored Dragnet, both on radio and on TV, during the 1950s, with Webb seen smoking Chesterfields. Webb was comfortable playing Joe Friday on radio but balked at the prospect of playing the role before the cameras; according to author-biographer Michael J. Hayde, Webb's choice for the TV Joe Friday was Hollywood actor Lloyd Nolan, whose casual underplaying Webb admired.

" Lucy Jones from NME stated that "Rocky's debut is full of superb moments and offers a rich tasting menu of unique sounds." In a mixed review, Slant Magazines Jesse Cataldo felt that the album still finds Rocky "routinely underplaying material that demands a strong anchoring presence and refusing to push his lyrical focus beyond the usual hackneyed tropes." Alexis Petridis of The Guardian called its music "frequently thrilling", but found the lyrics occasionally "boring". David Amidon from PopMatters found it relatively "safe" compared to other "cloud rap" offerings and stated, "He's still a great talent vocally, but it remains to be seen if he can match his voice with his pen.

Gender equality is one of the European Union's founding values, dating back to 1957. The Gender Equality Index aims at supporting evidence-based and better-informed decision-making in the EU. Other statistical indices measuring gender equality also exist, but the Gender Equality Index is the only one that gives a comprehensive map of gender inequalities in the EU and across Member States based on EU policy priorities and realities. The Gender Equality Index relies on a gender perspective. This means that gender equality is considered to be advantageous to both women and men, while not underplaying the unequal relations of power harming women in society.

"I'm Only Sleeping", "And Your Bird Can Sing" and "Doctor Robert" were the tracks omitted from Capitol's version of Revolver. In the case of "I'm Only Sleeping", the version issued on Yesterday and Today was a different mix from that included on EMI's Revolver. Due to the exclusion of the three Lennon tracks, there were only two songs on the Capitol release for which he was the principal writer, compared with three by Harrison and six by McCartney. In Riley's opinion, aside from underplaying Lennon's contribution, his voice is thereby confined to a "sudden swing to the surreal" at the end of each LP side, which distorts the intended mood across the album.

Among the original compositions, "Parade of Lost Dreams" documents the cultural decline of Hollywood Boulevard as a statement on contemporary American society, while the verses of "Southbound 95" are taken from truck drivers' conversations heard on a CB radio. "Made in China" was inspired by Camilla McGuinn's concern that the U.S. media were underplaying the situation in China where, due to the country's one-child family planning policy, baby girls were being starved to death. In the line "Hey, now they can't bootleg my album there", the song also addresses China's refusal to recognize intellectual property rights. McGuinn played his signature Rickenbacker 370/12 electric guitar on much of the album, which he said had a "Byrds feel" to it unlike his recent acoustic folk projects.

Liberal and NDP votes and Social Credit abstentions led to the subamendment passing 139–133, thereby toppling Clark's government and triggering a new election for a House less than a year old. The Liberal caucus, along with friends and advisers persuaded Trudeau to stay on as leader and fight the election, with Trudeau's main impetus being the upcoming referendum on Québec sovereignty. Trudeau and the Liberals engaged in a new strategy for the February 1980 election: facetiously called the "low bridge", it involved dramatically underplaying Trudeau's role and avoiding media appearances, to the point of refusing a televised debate. On election day Ontario returned to the Liberal fold, and Trudeau and the Liberals defeated Clark and won a majority government.

The reporter Hendro Subroto, who recorded the retrieval of the generals' bodies from Lubang Buaya, criticised the film's accuracy in 2001; he stated that the bodies did not show any evidence of torture. The former Lekra writer Putu Oka Sukanta, meanwhile, described the film as underplaying the suffering of PKI members and other leftists in the events following the G30S coup, thus becoming "a lie to the people". The historian John Roosa contrasts the portrayal of the G30S leadership with a document by Brigadier General M.A. Supardjo, which portrays the coup – led by "flummoxed, indecisive, and disorganized" men – as largely defeating itself. In a 2012 interview, Katamsi admitted the film was in part overacted and that it had been a potent way to spread and indoctrinate viewers in the New Order's ideology.

Bacon suggested A House Divided, Smith agreed, and soon what began as a two-week rewrite grew to take in the better part of two years. The resulting play ran on Broadway for three years, almost twice as long as any production to that point (Peg O' My Heart had run for twenty months in 1912-13). Playing the lead role, Bacon was so obsessive about the play's success that he spent his few days off in the theater, watching his understudy in the part. By all accounts, Bacon had a laconic, casual style of underplaying that was unusual and connected with audiences. At the close of the record run of Lightnin’, U. S. President Harding sent the playwrights a letter of congratulations, which was read aloud onstage by his Secretary of Labor.

The irony of the film is that whilst Diamond's performance of a Jew trying to be black is arguably intended to be humorous (and he was indeed Jewish) he sits uncomfortably next to Olivier's overly stereotyped Jewish father, and if anything Diamonds underplaying of the Jewish angle further emphasises this. It is one of the low points in Olivier's otherwise stunning career. In comparison to the Jolson original, Jolson's blackface does at least echo the minstrel singers of the period, whereas Diamond's wish to pretend to be a real black singer does not echo any reality, except perhaps emphasizing the reality of how tough breaking into the music business can be for anyone. To this end it is impossible to decide if the film is intended to be a comedy, a drama, a musical or something else.

According to Dan Bilawsky, who gave Horizonte 4.5 starts out of 5 in his review on All About Jazz "While Feldman's decision to remain in Rio de Janeiro has kept him slightly off the radar, this album is a brilliant blip that should register with Brazilian jazz lovers near and far. Feldman's composing chops take center stage, his piano playing—alternately ruminative and animated—delights, and his crafting of a strong group dynamic speaks volumes about his leadership" In April 2018, Feldman's participation in Duduka Da Fonseca's "Plays Dom Salvador", which received a 4-star rating from DownBeat's June 2018 edition, does an "admirable job of fleshing out the harmony in Salvador’s writing without underplaying the rhythmic content, and his phrasing on "Mariá" and "Para Elis" leaves one wondering why those ballads aren't better known", according to J.D. Cosidine.
