"Vivo per lei" (English: "I Live for Her") is the name of a 1995 song recorded by Italian artist Andrea Bocelli as duet with Giorgia for his album Romanza. The song was released as duet also with other female artists, including French singer Hélène Ségara in Francophone countries, Judy Weiss in German-speaking countries, Marta Sanchez in Spain and Sandy & Junior in Brazilian Portuguese.[1]
The version with Marta Sanchez topped the Spanish singles chart in 1996 under the title "'Vivo por ella" and is available on her album One Step Closer. The version with Ségara was released in December 1997 and became a smash hit in Belgium (Wallonia) and France where it reached number one on the charts. It was the fifth single from Ségara's first studio album, Cœur de verre. The version with Judy Weiss was also number one in Switzerland in 1997.

[edit] Song information

Actually this song was written by the group called O.R.O. (Manzani – Mengalli – Zelli) in 1995 for its album Vivo per.... The song won the "Disco per l'estate" edition of that year, but it had no particular achievement. During the same year, the lyrics of the song was rewritten by Gatto Panceri and it was relaunched thanks to the duet between Andrea Bocelli and Giorgia. The new lyrics are characterized by the fact that "lei" of the title is actually music, whereas the original was a love song for a girl.[citation needed]
The new version of "Vivo per lei" became a tribute to the music; that is what is referred in the title to "lei" in Italian, "elle" in French, "sie" in German and "ella" in Spanish. This multilingual song mixes lyrics in Italian by Bocelli and other languages after the versions. The song's piano melody resembles an Elton John composition.[2]
For international versions, German lyrics were written by Michael Kunze, French lyrics by Art Mengo, and Spanish lyrics by Luis Gómez Escolar.
The song is currently used in a French TV advert for pastas. Only Bocelli's voice can be heard in the excerpt played.
During Ségara's first tour, the song was performed, but Bocelli was replaced by Bruno Pelletier. This version is available on the live album En concert à l'Olympia, as second track on the second CD. It was also included on Ségara's compilation Le Best of, on Bocelli's album Romanza but in duet with Giorgia, and on Bruno Pelletier's album Sur Scene (2001).
The song was covered in 2004 by Calogero, Chimène Badi and Patrick Fiori on Les Enfoirés' album Les Enfoirés dans l'espace.[3]

[edit] Chart performances

In France, the song went straight to number 9 on 6 December 1997, and reached number one four weeks later, thus becoming the sixth bilingual number-one singles in France. It topped the chart for five consecutive weeks, then dropped slowly, remaining for 22 weeks in the top ten, 33 weeks in the top 50 and 42 weeks in the top 100.[4] It was certified Platinum by the SNEP.[5] It is the 141th best-selling single of all time in France.[6] In Belgium (Wallonia), the single debuted at number 18 on 20 December and achieved number one in its sixth week and stayed there for five weeks, then dropped and fell off the top ten after 15 weeks and the top 40 after 28 weeks.[7] To date, it is the best-selling single for Ségara, and the second one for Bocelli (the first is "Con te partirò").
In Switzerland, the version with Judy Weiss entered the chart at number six on 27 April 1997. It hit number one for a sole week and remained for 26 weeks in the top 50. The song achieved moderate success in Austria where it peaked at number 22 on 18 May 1997 and fell of the top 40 after ten weeks.

Keluarga korban dan orang-orang yang selamat dari pembantaian Srebrenica, Bosnia-Hercegovina, menguburkan ratusan korban.

Sementara para pemimpin dunia menuntut penahanan jenderal yang bertanggung jawab memerintahkan tentara-tentaranya membunuh 8.000 muslim, laki-laki dan anak laki-laki, 15 tahun lalu.

Sekitar 50.000 orang, termasuk para pemimpin Eropa dan para presiden dari negara-negara bekas republik Yugoslavia, hadir di pekuburan Potocari di mana 775 korban dikubur bersama dengan 3,749 jazad lainnya yang telah dikuburkan sebelumnya.

Mantan pemimpin politik Bosnia, Radovan Karadzic, saat ini diadili di Tribunal Kriminal Internasional bagi bekas negara Yugoslavia, di Den Haag, namun komandan militernya, Ratko Mladic, masih buron.

Mantan Wakil Tinggi Internasional untuk Bosnia-Hercegovina, Paddy Ashdown, mengatakan Mladic harus diadili.

n 1990, Christopher McCandless (Emile Hirsch), a college graduate from Emory University, rejects a materialist, conventional life, and his parents Walt (William Hurt) and Billie McCandless (Marcia Gay Harden), who McCandless perceives as having betrayed him. McCandless destroys all of his credit cards and identification documents, donates $24,000 (nearly his entire savings) to Oxfam, and sets out on a cross-country drive in his well-used, but reliable Datsun toward his ultimate goal: Alaska, to experience life in the wilderness. However, McCandless does not tell his family nor his sister Carine, (Jena Malone), what he is doing or where he is going and does not communicate with them thereafter, leaving them to become increasingly anxious and eventually desperate.
Along the way his automobile is caught in a flash flood and he abandons it to hitchhike after burning what remains of his dwindling cash supply at the side of Lake Mead, Arizona. He then assumes a new name: Alexander Supertramp. Along his travels, he encounters a hippie couple Jan Burres (Catherine Keener) and Rainey (Brian H. Dierker), with whom he forms a friendship. As McCandless continues his travels, he decides to work for a contract harvesting company owned by Wayne Westerberg (Vince Vaughn). However he is forced to leave after Westerberg is arrested for satellite piracy. McCandless then travels to the Colorado River and when he is told by park rangers that he may not kayak down the river without a license, he ignores their warnings, acquires a Perception Sundance 12 open-water kayak and paddles downriver, eventually all the way into Mexico. There his kayak is lost in a sandstorm and he crosses back into the United States on foot. Unable to easily hitchhike, he starts traveling via freight train to Los Angeles. Not long after arriving, however, he starts feeling "corrupted" by modern civilization and decides to leave. Later, McCandless is forced to switch his traveling method back to hitchhiking after he is treated roughly by freight train security.
McCandless then arrives at a hippie commune, Slab City and encounters Jan and Rainey again. At the commune, he meets Tracy Tatro (Kristen Stewart), an attractive teenage girl who is attracted to McCandless and flirts with him. After some time, McCandless decides to continue heading for Alaska, much to everyone's sadness. McCandless then encounters a retired but lonely leather worker, Ron Franz (Hal Holbrook) in Salton City, California. After spending several months with Franz, McCandless decides to leave for Alaska and Franz gives him camp and travel gear. Franz offers to adopt McCandless as his grandchild, but McCandless tells him that they should discuss this after McCandless returns from Alaska and Franz becomes extremely saddened by his departure.
Nearly two years after leaving his family, McCandless crosses a stream in a remote area of Alaska and sets up camp in an abandoned Fairbanks Transit bus which was placed as a shelter for moose hunters. Initially McCandless is exhilarated by the isolation, the beauty of nature around and the thrill of living off the land as the spring thaw arrives. He hunts and gathers, and reads books, and keeps a diary of his thoughts. However life becomes harder; his supplies start to run out and although he kills a moose he does not know the correct process for smoking the meat; as a result it is all spoiled and infested with flies and maggots. He realizes that nature is also harsh and uncaring. Ultimately on his journey of self-discovery, he concludes that true happiness can also be found in sharing, and in the joy of realization seeks to return from the wild to his friends and family.
However, to his despair, McCandless finds that the stream that he crossed has become wide, deep and violent due to the thaw and he cannot return. He is forced to return to the bus-shelter but now as a prisoner; having previously insisted on being self-sufficient he is no longer in control of his fate and can only hope for help from the outside. As his supplies run out he is forced to gather and eat roots and plants. He has a book to help him to distinguish edible from inedible, but he confuses similar plants and becomes violently ill as a result. He slowly and painfully starves. In his final hours, he continues to document his process of self-realization and accepts his fate, as he imagines his friends and family for a final time.
The epilogue occurs two weeks after his death when his body is found by moose hunters. The movie ends with a picture of him, found undeveloped in his camera from before he died. It tells that his sister carried his ashes from Alaska to the eastern seaboard by plane with the ashes in her backpack.

[edit] Filming

The scenes of graduation from Emory University in the film were shot in the fall of 2006 on the front lawn of Reed College. Some of the graduation scenes were also filmed during the actual Emory University graduation on May 15, 2006.[4] The Alaska scenes depicting the area around the abandoned bus on the Stampede Trail were filmed 50 miles south of where McCandless actually died, in the tiny town of Cantwell. Filming at the actual bus would have been too remote for the technical demands of a movie shoot.[5] The production made four separate trips to Alaska to film during different seasons.

[edit] Release


Into the Wild earned strong reviews from critics. The review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported that 82% of 155 reviews of the film were positive, resulting in a "Certified Fresh" rating.[6] Metacritic assigned the film an average score of 73 out of 100, based on 38 reviews from mainstream critics.[7]
Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film four stars out of four and described the film as "spellbinding". Ebert wrote that Emile Hirsch gives a "hypnotic performance", saying: "It is great acting, and more than acting". Ebert said, "The movie is so good partly because it means so much, I think, to its writer-director", Sean Penn.[8]
The American Film Institute listed the film as one of ten AFI Movies of the Year for 2007.[9][10]
National Board of Review named it one of the Top Ten Films of the Year.
Into the Wild also ranks 473rd in Empire magazine's 2008 list of the 500 greatest movies of all time.[
