Sanjuro (1962), a mechanical prop failure caused fake blood to spray rather than trickle from the actors body. Akira Kurosawa decided to keep the shot, and the resulting blood spray effect has endured and influenced many subsequent films. https://t.co/aiYuiSk21W https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1844488737784234047/pu/vid/avc1/578x324/9ENMg0NXpGrP4ZOo.mp4?tag=12

The song hits differently when you know why he wrote it. Green Day lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong wrote this about his father, who died of cancer on September 10th, 1982. At his father's funeral, Armstrong was overwhelmed with grief. He went home, locked himself in his room, and when his mother knocked on the door to check on him, he simply said, "Wake me up when September ends." This moment reportedly inspired the song's title and its heartfelt lyrics. https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/1844497865290170368/vid/avc1/568x758/R2pd_omCvbxa_zK-.mp4?tag=16

George and Willie Muse, two African American brothers who were kidnapped as children in 1899 and forced to perform as sideshow attractions because they were albinos.

George and Willie were prevented from contacting their family by their manager, who kept them as modern day slaves, since they were unpaid. The two boys were told that their mother Harriet was dead - a lie, as their mother was still alive and was constantly searching for them. She eventually found the two boys working for the Ringling Brothers Circus and their family was reunited. Harriet successfully sued Ringling Brothers for the treatment of George and Willie.

George Muse died of heart failure in 1972 while Willie carried on until 2001 when he died at the age of 108.
