One of only a few bands to achieve consistent commercial and criticalsuccess across three decades, U2 has charted success on its own termson both the artistic and business sides of the music industry. From theband's earliest days in Dublin, Ireland, to the present, U2 has broken free

from the traditional limitations of what a rock band -- and rock music --could and couldn't do. By combining an original sound with honest lyricsand a challenging social message, U2 has earned the respect of their peersand critics, and an almost fanatical following of fans around the world.This is their story. But while synthesizer acts and bubblegum pop bandsdominated the early 80s, U2 went off in their own direction. Their second

album, 1981's October, witnessed an open embrace of Christianity,especially in songs such as "With a Shout" and "Gloria": Oh, Lord, if I hadanything Anything at all, I'd give it to you. Of the four band members, onlyAdam Clayton wasn't an admitted Christian. Bono, The Edge, and Larryattended regular prayer group meetings and eventually joined a religiousgroup in Dublin called Shalom. That led the trio to question therelationship between the Christian faith and the rock and roll lifestyle.Greatness arrived in 1987, with the release of U2's fifth studio album,TheJ oshua Tree. U2 had delivered a record that caught them at their musicaland lyrical peak, finally comfortable with the "rock band with aconscience" label they first encountered with the War album four yearsearlier. In the spiritual and moral desert that had become the U.S. of themid-1980s, U2 stood out by bringing meaning and passion to its music.

Everyone enjoys going to the cinema to watch movies forentertainment. However, watching movies can be a viewer's

nightmare. First of all, we could hear cellphones ringingalthough viewers are not allowed to switch on their cellphonesin the cinema. The ringing is very distracting to us especiallywhen we are trying hard to concentrate on the movie.Secondly, some viewers are restless. They keep shifting the

position of their body when they are seated, and sometimesthey accidentally touch you. This is very annoying indeedwhen your viewing is suddenly disrupted by yourinconsiderate neighbour. Finally, some viewers often love totalk about the movie even while the movie is playing. Theymake comments and they even predict how the movie wouldend. They are directly annoying other viewers who are tryingto listen to the dialogues. For these reasons, going to themovies is sometimes not pleasurable.
