Also called the Turkish dress, American dress, or simply reform dress, bloomers were an innovation of readers of the Water-Cure Journal, a popular health periodical that in October 1849 began urging women to develop a style of dress that was not so harmful to their health as the current fashion.
Contact (1997 American film) Contact is a 1997 American science fiction drama film directed by Robert Zemeckis. It is a film adaptation of Carl Sagan's 1985 novel of the same name; Sagan and his wife Ann Druyan wrote the story outline for the film.
'The Day the Earth Stood Still'. Men in Black and Contact, two films about aliens, brought people into movie theaters during the summer of '97. And Independence Day, in which hostile aliens blow up the White House, broke box-office records in 1996. In 1951, The Day the Earth Stood Still featured a spaceship carrying a spaceman and a robot that lands on the Ellipse. Its special effects don't come close to the three films mentioned above, but like Contact, it makes you think. The movie's pacifist message is just as relevant more than 45 years later.
