Relationship To Real Life
Tintin in America depicts the real-life problems of organized crime in Chicago, America during the Great Depression, and the brief depiction of Al Capone is the only notable appearance of a real person in a Tintin album. Hergé names a specific Native American tribe, the Blackfeet, but here his penchant for fine detail noted in his portrayal of 1930s Arabia, India, and China is not so evident: The Blackfoot reservation is actually in northern Montana near the Canadian border, the giant Saguaro cactus is actually found in the Sonora desert of southern Arizona, and the railroad locomotives (portrayed with the dangling couplers and massive double bumpers) are actually those of period European equipment.

Famous quotes containing the words relationship to, relationship, real and/or life:
“Artists have a double relationship towards nature: they are her master and her slave at the same time. They are her slave in so far as they must work with means of this world so as to be understood; her master in so far as they subject these means to their higher goals and make them subservient to them.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“The proper aim of education is to promote significant learning. Significant learning entails development. Development means successively asking broader and deeper questions of the relationship between oneself and the world. This is as true for first graders as graduate students, for fledging artists as graying accountants.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
“The real world is not easy to live in. It is rough; it is slippery. Without the most clear-eyed adjustments we fall and get crushed. A man must stay sober: not always, but most of the time.”
—Clarence Day (1874–1935)
“He can have this old life anytime he wants to. You hear that? Huh, you hear it? Come on. You’re welcome to it, Old Timer. Let me know you’re up there, come on. Love me, hate me, kill me,
anything. Just let me know it.”
—Donn Pierce, U.S. screenwriter, Frank R. Pierson, and Stuart Rosenberg. Luke Jackson (Paul Newman)
