The film continues, providing a picture of life in the 1930s where some people wait in endless unemployment lines attempting to get work, while others enjoy their wealth engaging in parties and purchasing expensive works of art. As the musical nears production, the WPA cuts the budget for the FTP, and puts a halt to all new productions. This announcement comes following the House Committee on Un-American Activities’ questioning of many of those involved in the FTP, and the musical itself due to its leftist themes around labor and union organizing. Despite being canceled, the director, Orson Welles (Angus Macfadyen) and producer, John Houseman (Cary Elwes), lead the cast to another theater that they were able to secure at the last minute. The cast is forbidden to perform by their union, so Blitzstein takes the stage alone at an upright piano to perform the show himself, only to be joined by many of the cast members who deliver their lines from the audience. Robbins juxtaposes this final triumphant moment of the theater with images of the destruction of a mural commissioned by Nelson Rockefeller (John Cusack) because the artist, Diego Rivera (Ruben Blades), refused to remove the image of Lenin's face from the piece. In tying together stories of labor issues and steel strikes, censorship in painting and theater, and the disparities of wealth and power, Robbins is able to paint a picture of the 1930s that goes beyond simply recounting past events and questions the boundaries between art, power and politics. Furthermore, Robbins attempts to link these issues to the present day through the final shot of the film. The camera follows a mock funeral procession for the FTP as it marches into Times Square only to pan up from this scene to a shot of the high rises and neon billboards that stand there today.

Mobile apps - the way of the future

Mobile apps are growing in popularity, every day, with all the top smartphones supporting downloadable software. Let's take a look at 3 of the newest and best phones for using apps with.

Nokia N97 - Symbian

As it runs on the newest, touch version of Symbian, you would expect the Nokia N97 to support a range of apps. Well, it does, and not only that, but the Nokia N97 (as well as all Nseries phones, in future) will soon be getting its very own app store, called the Ovi Store. This'll make adding apps to your Nokia N97 a breeze, and give you access to a whole range of extra features. Possibly the most powerful app that's headed our way from Nokia, though (and it will surely find its way onto the Nokia N97), is Point 'N' Find, a service that lets you point the phone's camera at an object (currently only film posters, but more services are planned), and then the phone auto-searches for info, by recognising the object. So, just point your Nokia N97 at a movie poster, and then you'll be able to watch the trailer, look at images from the film, or even book tickets online, all from your mobile!

HTC Magic - Google Android

However, if you want a phone with a true app store already set up, then you need the HTC Magic, complete with its Android Marketplace. The HTC Magic makes it easy for you to download extra software, by simply pressing the Marketplace icon, and selecting the software you want. It's that easy, with the HTC Magic. The coolest app seen for Android so far? Simply point your HTC Magic at a barcode, and it will find the product for you, and not only find it for the cheapest price online, but use the GPS to find out where it's in stock near you!

Palm Pre - WebOS

However, there's a phone that can top even the magic tricks of the HTC Magic. That phone is the Palm Pre, and it brings a whole new level of clever-ness to its apps. Take, for example, the Fandango app which should be available at the time the Palm Pre gets launched. Like Point 'N' Find on the Nokia N97, it allows you to find movie times online, and book tickets for wherever your nearest cinema is (albeit without the camera trickery). However, the Palm Pre goes one step further, by automatically updating your calendar with an appointment to go to the cinema, and it can even automatically notify your friends, who are going with you, that the tickets are booked. The Palm Pre pulls all its features together, and links everything in to make your life as easy as possible. It's also said to be one of the easiest phones in the world to code for, so the chances are that if you can think of any feature you'd like, someone's already created it for your Palm Pre!
