ask the average person who wrote the score to double indemnity or who penned “mona lisa” and they’ll be stumped . it speaks to the anonymity of film composers and songwriters that continued through the ’40s and ’50s . despite the creative leaps scores had taken , they were rarely noticed by most filmgoers , not taken seriously by critics and were never available on album ( selznick tried to convince columbia records to release the gone with the wind score , but they declined ) . all that changed because of a cowboy song .

this film is the original volcom surfing experience . the cinematography , editing and music melt together like a jimi hendrix dream . this is what veeco productions is all about .
only sane man : mickey and turkish seem to be the only main characters in the film who are not too greedy , crazy , or stupid . mickey only appears crazy .
i saw this movie as a bonus feature on the gutpile dvd . ( as far as i know , that ' s the only place it ' s available . ) and i ' m prepared to say : stumped is an okay film . it isn ' t great , but it certainly isn ' t bad . on the positive , it ' s creative and clever at times and contains some genuine laughs . on the negative , it ' s boring at times and tends to move slowly . also on the positive , it features debbie rochon , but back to the negative , it generally wastes her talents and doesn ' t give her much to do . all in all this movie is decent . it has considerable potential but simply doesn ' t push far enough in any one direction . if you ever have the opportunity to watch stumped , you might as well , but i wouldn ' t go out of your way .
but he was still stumped when it came to a possible plot — until dogs started returning stateside after serving in iraq and afghanistan . when lettich served in vietnam , most of the war dogs were euthanized rather than being sent back to the states — but that policy changed in 2000 , when president bill clinton signed a law allowing dogs to be adopted by their handlers or civilians .
an artistic masterpiece presenting the volcom skate team tearing up all mediums of terrain from around the world . freedom wig was volcom’s first skate film and would set the stage for an incredible journey in the years ahead . shot entirely in film , the movie is a colorful look into the team’s personalities and different styles of riding . a must see for any skater .

a voyage into the unknown that conjures more questions than it answers … that ' s what we were told to expect from ridley scott ' s long - awaited sort - of - alien - prequel prometheus , with a script by lost writer damon lindelof . we thought they were talking about the characters ' journey into the depths of space to meet the extraterrestrial originators of life on earth . it turned out , though , to refer to us poor lugs in the audience , stumbling out into the night scratching our heads . here we try to untangle some of the film ' s more prominent puzzlers . spoilers abound , of course , and we ' re frankly as stumped as you - so do chip in in the comments …

composer howard shore , whose awards include three oscars for scoring the lord of the rings triology , says , “i like to work around the edges and try to give the film another level of subtext , which is what music can do . i love painting around the corners of the frames and staying out of the middles . what you want to do is bring the audience right in the scene with the characters , so they’re living and breathing as part of the film . ”
turkish definitely has some pretty snarky and snide things to say about tommy , but in his voice - over admits that he considers him like a younger brother . the two are pretty much inseparable throughout the film , and they even dress identically .
rapid - fire comedy : it ' s best to watch this film on dvd so you can pause it to crack up laughing without missing another joke in the process . they ' re
blink and you ' ll miss it
at times .

treasure is bigger in fiction : the diamond has a diameter of about 4 - 5 centimetres ( 1 . 6 inches ) and weighs 86 carats . notably , everyone in the film who knows anything about jewelry makes a huge deal about its size .
the director is well aware that barring lagaan , no cricket film has made an impact . kumar gaurav starrer all - rounder ( 1984 ) and dev anand’s awwal number ( 1990 ) , with aamir khan as the lead , were mediocre films which fell totally flat .
however by the end of the film , most of the bad guys end up in jail or dead . the diamond gets swallowed by a dog which in turn is adopted by turkish and tommy , the only main characters who were not involved with the diamond plot .

dusty’s surfing earned him “best male performance” at the 2009 surfer poll & video awards where the film was also nominated for “video of the year . ” but even more importantly… bs ! has been hailed as an instant cult classic by surfers who know their sh ! t .
cricket is the backdrop for this film . it shows the obsession of the indian public to watching india play cricket . however the true fight is going on thousands of miles away in a real war , which most of the characters are oblivious too . the extent to which cricket fans go is gently ridiculed here where as very little worth is given to soldiers risking their lives for their country by those same people . watching cricket is also shown as a running away from personal tragedies and not focusing on what is truly important in life . gaurav pandey ( the director ) has put together a great drama film here . raveena ( playing reema seth ) puts on an excellent performance as wife of major raghav seth who is sent away for war . a moving & thought provoking film that all obsessive cricket fans should watch .

title drop : the film ' s title only appears once throughout the entire movie , where vinny tells the dog ,
don ' t snatch !
as it takes the squeaky toy . it is said to the dog because it ' s the dog who eats the diamond .
: only three characters ' both first and last names are known ( boris yurinov , mickey o ' neil and abraham denovitz ) , and only the first two are said out loud in the film , the last of the three is always referred to as
( cousin ) avi

kajaki is an unusual war film : rather than focusing on combat , it shows a foreign army dealing with the legacy of previous foreign armies in a much - invaded territory . it’s a fascinating and apposite take on the war in afghanistan – and one which takes care to get its facts right .
the idea to write a dog - centric flick came to lettich and yakin after watching the 1994 film “the river wild , ” starring meryl streep . her dog , maggie , takes off as soon as the bad guys attack . “that movie needed a kick - ass dog , ” says lettich .

a cinematic depiction of plasmatic destruction featuring bruce irons , shawn barron , gavin beschen , tai vandyke , and dave post . this film is 100 % hand made from start to finish with a scrumptious soundtrack . it’s is a surreal surf journey through the mind of bruce irons while cooking breakfast . a classic piece of art for every surfer to enjoy .
revolvers are for amateurs : nobody in this film uses revolvers with any real effectiveness . boris sells dodgy revolvers to unsuspecting customers like tommy , while favouring a semi - automatic himself . sol attempts to use a revolver to shoot the door off the bookie ' s to escape and ends up destroying the bag full of coppers he and vincent have stolen .
box - office history may not be on kukunoor’s side , but going against the tide is nothing new for this leading light of crossover cinema . he is not unlike iqbal , the underdog who aspires to reach the top . hopefully , his film would inspire viewers and at the same time make them fall in love with their favourite game all over again .
sandeep patil starred opposite poonam dhillon in kabhi ajnabi the ( 1985 ) , in which the villain’s role was played by none other than wicketkeeper syed kirmani .

kick the dog : there ' s no real reason to dislike avi until he gives a certain command involving a dog . bricktop is also seen killing two mooks and brutalizing dogs early in the film to establish him as a villain amongst villains . when he orders the burning of mickey ' s caravan with his mother still inside , he crosses a moral event horizon .
irish travellers : one of the main plot threads kicks off with tommy trying to buy a caravan ( mobile home or rv to americans ) from a clan of
pikeys
. the other characters consider them untrustworthy at best and the reputation isn ' t entirely undeserved , but given the tone of the film , they ' re as close to heroic as any of the characters get .
ashutosh gowariker took a big gamble when he made the path - breaking lagaan ( 2001 ) , the story of a village’s resistance to colonial oppression . the villagers , led by aamir khan , fought not with swords and spears but with bat and ball , beating the british at their own game . the all - important match lasted for virtually half the film’s duration , yet it kept viewers spellbound .

though technology for synchronized sound—a “sound track” is a physical , audio - coded region on the film’s border—had been around since the turn of the century , hollywood didn’t come aboard until 1923 . the thief of baghdad was one early ground - breaker , with a soundtrack by composer mortimer wilson that a newspaper review called “woven into a colorful fabric of harmony to serve as background for players and action . ” a good definition for a score .

pitch report
, hyderabad blues director nagesh kukunoor has taken up the challenge of entertaining audiences with a cricket story . iqbal , his latest release , is about a deaf - mute village boy who dreams of playing in the indian team . for the title role , the film - maker wanted a boy who could both act and bowl well . after an extensive search , he picked shreyas talpade , a marathi tv actor .
in the early 1900s , movie soundtracks were performed live by piano and organ players stationed discreetly in a front corner of the cinema . sometimes the music was improvised ( a young fats waller was the inventive organist at harlem’s lincoln theater for years ) ; more often it came from generic cue sheets . aside from enhancing the action on the screen , this mood music served the more practical purpose of masking the loud , metallic ratcheting from film projectors .
shot entirely on 16mm , super 8 and 35mm movie film , “the bruce movie” is an in - depth look at one of the most renowned surfers on the planet : bruce irons . some have described bruce as , “a freak” , “unpredictably spontaneous” , “explosive” and “the deadliest guy on tour” . bruce’s uncanny tube riding ability and high flying aerial attack will leave you awestruck . along his path , bruce has won surfing’s most prestigious event : the eddie aikau big wave invitational .
will lautzenheiser was chasing the loves of his life . a year into a promising relationship , he landed a dream job teaching film at montana state university . after his first two classes , will visited the hospital for what he assumed was a painful muscle pull . he had no idea that pain was being caused by a life - threatening bacterial infection . when will’s organs started shutting down , and his limbs began dying , doctors amputated his arms and legs to save his life .
leitmotif : the film uses leitmoffs occasionally by sampling bits of songs from its soundtrack when it shifts focus to another group of characters . perhaps most noticeable is the use of
dreadlock holiday
several times when focus switches to the pawn shop gang . just as conspicuous is the russian folk tune
korobushka
, which tends to follow boris wherever he goes . as in , he walks into a room , the song plays , he walks out , it stops , he walks back in , it continues .

ever since the first commercial movies flickered onto screens in the early 1900s , composers have been doing just that . from bernard herrmann to henry mancini to john williams , these behind - the - scenes heroes weave their melodies and harmonies into films , creating celluloid magic . imagine rhett and scarlett’s first kiss from gone with the wind without max steiner’s orchestral swells . or the opening shark attack in jaws without john williams’ ominous strings . as composer elmer bernstein once said , “the music should be a character in the film . ”
it seems bonkers to cast a young man as an old man – it ' s not as if ridley scott was short of options for the older gentleman and pearce spends the whole movie clad in prosthetic wrinkles . well , the movie , yes – but not prometheus ' s viral campaign , which saw pearce giving a ted talk as the younger peter weyland . that seems a relatively small reason to influence the casting of the film itself , but perhaps scott is keeping his options open for flashback sequences in a possible sequel ?

c ricket and cinema are two passions that ignite and unite indians . both are about big bucks and big - time fame . their combination ought to be unbeatable . look at those celebrity couples — tiger pataudi and sharmila tagore , and mohammad azharuddin and sangeeta bijlani . however , that is the off - screen ( or off - field ) story . on screen , our unofficial national sport has rarely caused a sensation . for most bollywood film - makers , movies and cricket are like drinking and driving — not to be mixed .
all of them have found that stardom in one field doesn’t necessarily get transferred to another . ironically , the cricketer who has done relatively well in bollywood is not an indian but a pakistani — mohsin khan . after a successful career as an opening batsman , mohsin crossed the border in search of celluloid fame . he married a top actress of her time , reena roy , and acted in a few films , notably mahesh bhatt’s saathi and j . p . dutta’s batwara . unfortunately , his film career ( and marriage ) ended with a whimper .
while behind - the - scenes campaigning may have gotten the theme from alone yet not alone on the ballot , it seems unlikely that the song will take the home the oscar . u2 is the most likely frontrunner for “no ordinary love , ” their soaring ode to nelson mandela , but don’t underestimate frozen ‘s “let it go , ” written by kristen anderson - lopez and robert lopez and recorded by both demi lovato and idina menzel . the disney film’s soundtrack has knocked beyoncé’s beyoncé out of the billboard 200 album charts’ top spot for two straight weeks .
was set against the backdrop of the kargil conflict and the world cup in england . raveena tandon played the wife of a soldier who goes missing in action . her anxiety and depression isolate her from her cricket - crazy neighbours , who remain blissfully oblivious of the ongoing war . the movie is a satire on the passion , rather obsession , of indians for the game , and showed how it could make them indifferent to unpleasant realities . the film was released on the eve of the 2003 world cup , and several cricketers took part in a promotional campaign . despite these efforts ,
a candid film collage celebrating the incomparable shawn “barney” barron . not only was barney the innovative surfer who’s acrobatic agility perfectly matched the superhero wetsuits he often wore , he was also an artist , comedian , son , brother , and true friend who lived and breathed laughs and creativity into everything he did . despite the challenges of his bipolar disorder , he maintained an infectiously positive attitude , irrefutable love for life , and endless generosity that brightened the lives of all who knew him . his spirit reminds us that now is all we have… it reminds us to live now to the fullest .

though we think of the ’60s as belonging to the beatles , the beach boys and motown , there was an almost constant tug - of - war on the charts with romantic soundtrack music . in the summer of ’66 , maurice jarre’s “somewhere , my love ( lara’s theme from dr . zhivago ) ” charted higher than “eleanor rigby . ” but then again , the fabs made their own soundtrack history with a hard day’s night , help ! and yellow submarine , becoming the first rock group to star in a film as well as writing and performing the soundtrack . simon and garfunkel saw their profile rise when director mike nichols used the duo’s songs exclusively for the graduate .

are likely to come away from it feeling a little disappointed—those who dig the genre because of the bloodshed will be appalled to discover that it is practically gore - free . however , if they are at the film because they want to be transported to another time and place by a world - class filmmaker working at the peak of his powers , they ' re likely to find themselves as enraptured as i was by what hou has come up with this time around .
when volcom was founded in 1991 , it was the first company to combine surfing , skateboarding and snowboarding under one brand . this way of life influenced the “youth against establishment” style and attitude that defined a generation . the cultural phenomenon was best captured when volcom released “alive we ride” in 1993 : a film documenting the raw excitement and spontaneous creativity inherent to the lifestyle . twenty years later , with the release of “true to this” , volcom again captures the energy and artistry of board - riding in its purest forms . shot on - location around the world and showcasing iconic athletes , “true to this” is a tribute to the movement that inspired a generation and the people and places that embody the spirit today .
the film opens with frankie four fingers ( benicio del toro ) stealing a huge 86 carat diamond in antwerp . with the help of a section of the russian mob that his boss is working with , frankie is able to smuggle the diamond onto a plane , but his gun is taken by the russians so as to not cause problems . frankie is advised to see boris ( rade erbedija ) , a local fence in london , if he wants a new gun . the russian gangster who took frankie ' s gun , ( who is actually boris ' brother ) and boris immediately begin conspiring on how to steal the diamond from frankie before frankie heads back home to america , without the deed leading back to them .
will lautzenheiser thought he was on the verge of realizing his dreams , teaching film classes at montana state university , when what he thought was an extreme pulled muscle suddenly escalated into something far more severe—a bacterial infection that forced doctors to amputate all of his limbs in order to save his life . instead of letting this unimaginable setback defeat him , will took his trauma head - on , performing stand - up comedy to cope with his new normal . but as will begins to adjust to his new life with the help of his loving partner , angel , news breaks of a risky , experimental double - arm transplant that offers him the hope of reclaiming his independence . a medical mystery tucked in a comedy nestled in a deeply moving personal portrait ,
the film neatly underlines this when the men return to observation post normandy , a tiny camp at which members of 3 para mortar platoon and 3 para support company are bivouacked . one of the soldiers , armed with a penguin classics edition , reads out a few lines of a poem : “when you’re wounded and left on afghanistan’s plains / and the women come out to cut up what remains / jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains / an’ go to your gawd like a soldier . ” this is from rudyard kipling’s the young british soldier , published in his 1892 volume barrack - room ballads . it is quoted in patrick bishop’s 3 para , a gripping history of the battle group in afghanistan . there and here , it makes an important point : that the most recent afghanistan campaign has historical echoes in the anglo - afghan wars of the 19th century .
set in ninth - century china during a time of unrest that would eventually lead to the decline of the tand dynasty ,
the assassin
tells the story of nie yinniang ( shu qui ) , who was kidnapped by her family when she was only 10 by jiaxin ( sheu fang - yi ) , a nun who trained her to become a brutally efficient assassin specializing in killing corrupt government officials . as the story begins , she demonstrates her abilities by killing her target—a man on horseback—with such lethal precision that it takes both her victim and viewers of the film a few moments to register that the deed has been done . alas , yinniang is not quite as ruthless as she seems to be , and when she confronts her next target and finds his young son in the room with him , she finds that she is unable to do the deed and lets him live .
an animated film based on a few of volcom’s pro surfers and a few colorful characters , “the dawn of the stone age” is a journey through space and time . from 420 , 000 years b . c . to the modern day , the story ultimately ends up on the north shore of oahu . an ancient caveman , who is named caveman , was frozen through time and wound up in the mix of the professional surfing world and the surf scene in hawaii . the movie tells the tale of caveman’s adventures interacting with the likes of bruce irons , dean morrison , ozzie wright , gavin beschen , shawn barron , kaiborg , and johnny stone . caveman gets the chance to surf against the top pros in the coveted volcom pipe contest at the banzai pipeline . sit back , relax , get some popcorn , melt into your seat and watch the dawn of the stone age unfold right before your eyes !

multiple voices in feminist film criticism edited by diane carson , linda dittmars , and janice welch ( university of minnesota press , 1994 ) : issues of ethnic cinematic representation have been addressed in feminist film writing to a certain degree . one of the most influential of such essays is included in this feminist film theory anthology :
white privilege and looking relations : race and gender in feminist film theory
by jane gaines analyzes feminist film theory ' s limitations when dealing with race and gender issues :
blatant lies : paul and karla each accused the other of killing the victims , and claimed no responsibility for the murders .
plea bargain : karla testified against paul , in exchange for lenience . she was sentenced to twelve years in prison , with the possibility of parole in four . in real life , karla homolka served her full sentence and was released in 2005 .

making love in all the wrong places : karla picks up a guy in a bar and they have sex in the washroom .
clingy jealous girl : it ' s been hypothesized that one of the reasons karla went along with paul ' s plan was that she was jealous of the attention he paid towards her sister tammy . this is downplayed in the film .
true story about a woman who falls in love with a violent rapist and murderer . karla homolka marries paul bernardo despite already having aided him in the rape and murder of her younger sister . through their marriage he brags to her about other rapes he commits and involves karla herself in the sexual assault and murder of two other female victims . told from karla ' s point of view .

we will have small gifts for all children who like to say something about their experience with felix & franzi or karla & kai .
although interesting and quite informative of the actual case , the film is told through karla ' s point of view . not such a great idea for a script as she constantly , as does the film , paints her out to be a victim . often more so than the actual victims . the acting is good and very believable , but the whole film is overshadowed by a certain cheapness of direct to tv quality . a different angle and a more two sided debate would have improved the film , but as it is it is an average true life serial killer picture .
model couple : particularly in their wedding photos , paul and karla were unusually good - looking , and seemed to
fit
together .
nature adores a virgin : paul ' s impetus for raping teenage girls is he wants a virgin . including karla ' s own sister .
urine trouble : when the puppy pees on the floor and karla waits a minute to clean it up , it earns her a backhand .
based on real life canadian serial killers . tried too hard to make karla a sympathetic victim and blame her husband for everything . lame .
this might be the most beautiful film among those banned that year . karla , played by jutta hoffmann , is a newly trained teacher who starts her first job in a small town . she is unconventional and lively - which didn ' t correspond with the socialist teaching methods promoted by the authorities .

contributors to the first part derive a black film aesthetic by focusing on the black artist , his or her representation of the black imaginary , and his or her place within broader communities…the modes of existence of a black film culture are linked to black institutions , nationalist versus integrationist politics , black american literature and literary criticism , and issues of realism in representation . contributors to the second part address the thorny issue of film spectatorship . in doing so , they bring into view another dimension of the black film experience , one encompassing a history of film reception , generic expectations , patterns of spectatorial identification , and the possibility of political resistance .

the aesthetics and narrative of this movie are the most radical of these shelved films . a young boy receives from a swan a flashlight with magical powers : it throws liars into the air ( see top picture ) .
the film uses a lyrical symbol , however it is ambiguous ,
determined the film censors . they criticized the film ' s unsettling lack of a coherent idea or statement .
little ambiguity or tension at the core of this hollow karaoke version of the bernardo - homolka murders . . . karla seldom probes its title character ' s own complicity .
karla , at best , is a low - budget city - tv movie they show at 3 a . m . the
scary thriller - movie
music is almost too much at times and the focus on karla ' s teased bangs worse . it ' s nothing the papers haven ' t covered in the past and the impact less than reading court articles in detail . it ' s offensive in the sense that it ' s just a really poorly - made film .
karla is first mentioned in tinker tailor soldier spy as the spymaster who recruited and controls
gerald
, the mysterious mole inside the circus . by the time of that novel , gerald has become circus ' number - two - man and karla is using gerald ' s handler , alexei polyakov , to deliver fabricated intelligence that appears highly valuable .
similarly as in the previous case , a topic of this documentary film is considered as a one of a marginal importance . the film concerns with josef čapek’s work , thoughts and letters which were influenced by his experiences with his internment in a concentration camp . the main line of the plot of this film works with a sharp contrast of a depression from the concentration camp and the beauty of slovak nature and countryside of orava .

early cinema in russia chronicles one of the great lost periods in cinema history , that of pre - revolutionary russia . in contrast to standard film histories , yuri tsivian focuses on reflected images : it features the historical film - goer and early writings on film as well as examining the physical elements of cinematic performance .
tsivian casts a probing beam of illumination into some of the most obscure areas of film history . and the terrain he lights up with his careful assembly and insightful reading of the records of early film viewing in russia not only changes our sense of the history of this period but also . . . causes us to re - evaluate some of our most basic theoretical and historical assumptions about what a film is and how it affects its audiences .

redefining black film by mark reid ( berkeley : university of california press , 1993 ) : instead of highlighting the careers of individual filmmakers as a way of discussing ethnic representation , reid seeks to address black independent film production as well as
three different genres of black - oriented films controlled by whites
— the
african - american comedy film ,
family film ,
and
black action film .
reid ' s organizes much of his critical methodology around the concepts originating from traditional venues of american race humor - namely , the minstrel show . he introduces the terms
blackface minstrelsy ,
hybrid minstrelsy ,
and
satiric hybrid minstrelsy
in his discussion of the african - american comedy film . the author takes great care to note historical transitions among these subtypes within larger generic categories as well as to consider both the sites of production and reception of the motion pictures under discussion .
karla is in love with jonas , but doesn’t dare to contact him . her best friend pushes karla to call him , which results in an invitation to visit him at the orphanage he lives in . life is hard when there is no family at all , and karla , who is crazy about jonas , tries to comfort him by suggesting looking for his biological mom . they take matters into own hands , steal jonas’ birth certificate from the principal’s drawer and with no money to pay the ticket , they jump the train headed for the city where jonas was born .
the ballad of narayama

in truth , nothing in the movie karla will add much to the debate , other than serving as yet another reminder . but i do not believe it will do any harm , either .
had a lot more depth than a lot of romantic comedies . the lead female , karla souza was shown as a single , independent career - woman , with issues that she . . .
set in spain , several latino celebrities were cast in the film , including golden globe award winning actress gina rodrigurez , comedian gabriel iglesias , actor raúl esparza , mexican tv personality karla martinez , and spanish actor miguel ángel silvestre . other cast members include wwe legend john cena , who will voice the main character ferdinand , kate mckinnon and anthony anderson .
karla invites katrine to spend the holidays with her , hoping they might become best friends . as it turns out , nothing goes as planned . karla meets jonas and falls in love for the first time , and she nearly forgets all about katrine . however , the two girls are forced to put their difficulties aside for a while , as they join jonas in exposing a local gang of thieves .
fairy tale wedding dress : karla wears one during her wedding to paul . it even has giant poofy sleeves , yet is somewhat less elaborate than the real life homolka wedding dress ( which had lace ) .
things in the movie , like the slasher movie music cues , hint that karla has exploitation in its veins . the reasons for making it - - and seeing it - - remain more than slightly suspect .
to me , any accomplice to murder is just as guilty as the person committing it . that ' s why i am so repulsed by this movie , because it portrays karla homolka as a tragic heroine , a victim . anyone who knows how tragic and sensitive this case was knows that karla is no victim . there is no reason that a movie should be made of it , especially not one like this .
the film conducts a survey of karel čapek’s life from his birth in malé svatoňovice to his death in prague in vinohrady ( a quarter in prague 2 ) . it combines documentary shots ( of a surrounding where čapek grew up and lived ) , photographs and artistic licence . neither does the film omit čapek’s relationship to strž nor his literary work . although the film has only 20 minutes it provides us with a comprehensive description of the life of the one of the most important czech writers , playwrights and journalist of the first czechoslovak republic . moreover , the description is enriched with an explication of historical events of čapek’s time . authors of the film concern not only with historical and political situation but they pay attention to the geographical location of these events . the film may be used for educational purposes at high - schools especially in history and czech language . but it is suitable for everyone who is interested in čapek’s heritage . because of its subtitles in several languages the film is suitable also for people who cannot speak czech .

chicanos and film : representation and resistance edited by chon a . noriega ( minneapolis : university of minnesota press , 1992 ) : in his introduction , noriega describes this book as
the censorship of this film came as quite a surprise . after all , the director kurt maetzig was one of east germany ' s showcase filmmakers - he had previously directed the biography of the leader of the communist part of germany , ernst thälmann . yet in his banned film , maetzig told the story of a disillusioned young woman whose brother stood accused of incitement of the people ; the movie also featured a judge who leads a double life .
the film spreads skepticism ,
declared the central committee to justify the ban .

elements working within a film text rather than categorizing an entire text or character portrayal as patently

or
bad .
this book also takes on the perpetuation of racist and sexist images in black independent film . it is notable that reid devotes separate chapters to
black feminism and the independent film
and
male - directed new black independent cinema
as well as taking critical stands against the homophobia and sexism in the films of successful black male directors like spike lee . reid doesn ' t resist the multiplicity of forces at work in the
modes of film production and of black spectatorship ,
but instead he encourages a more acute awareness of the dynamics of these forces :
this is the only comedy among the banned films . an east german police officer is desperately bored because of the lack of crime in the town of wolkenheim . the caricatured claim of the film was that there was no crime in east germany . censors could not let this message go public , as the film left it unclear if its message was meant to be ironic or not .

the censorship of this film by frank vogel did not surprise anyone . vogel told the story of a young couple rebelling against the strict world views of adults around them . like elsewhere in the world , east german youth started questioning the established conventions of the 1960s . this was particularly irritating for the authorities . the central committee deemed that the film questioned
young people ' s socialist education and character .

the challenge of a film like “kidnap” is to put audiences in karla’s head , bypassing distractions to focus on the kind of spur - of - the - moment decisions that might plausibly result in getting frankie back . but assuming she actually manages to catch the mustang , what does she hope to do then ? without giving too much away ( though it’s hard to spoil what the movie leaves mostly to the imagination anyway ) , the kidnappers aren’t looking for a ransom . they answer to someone with deeper pockets and darker intentions , which makes this a far scarier prospect : it means that when forced into a corner , they’re not opposed to killing karla , or her son , or anyone who gets in their way .
karla ' s parents are divorced and she lives with her mom , stepdad , brother and stepbrother . after arguments with mom , dad drinking again and no real x - mas in sight , she runs away from home . will she be back for christmas ?

well , 22 vision , a production company that sometimes specializes in reuniting old movie casts did just that for the 1994 hit film . . . and the cast is completely grown up . the photos are incredible !

in the satiric hybrid minstrel film , the process of unification produces an uninventive rebellion , because the racial dualism that structures blackface and hybrid comedy equally determines the structure of satiric hybrid minstrelsy .

throughout the movie , several characters , including smiley , refer to a person named karla . i assume it ' s a code name for a person , but i am still confused as to who it specifically refers to , and what their importance to the plot is .
i know karla ( laura prepon ) is purported to be this detached kind of person who showed no empathy of the victims of her husbands violence , but the performance feels really detached as well except in the beginning and at times near the end . it doesn ' t…
the film works with photographs from the brothers’ time which are compared with the contemporary state of the landscape . and of course , it pays attention to the works of both brothers which concern with slovakia or to these which were influenced by slovak settings . although the topic of this documentary film is usually considered as of a marginal importance , filmmakers present it in an interesting way which enables them to prove that the topic has its own value .
the final shot zooms in on karla ' s eyes . the voiceover says ,
i did kill somebody . . . i killed my little sister . how can anyone ever be forgiven for that ? i think about what i did every day . i really do .
karla is a fictional character in several novels by john le carré . a soviet intelligence officer , he most often appears as a distant antagonist of george smiley . his real name is never revealed ; instead he takes his codename from that of the first network that he recruited .
i’ve worried that some of the other actors , especially the female actors , may have been treated badly on the set . the only interview i can find with any actress involved in the film is with sarah foret , who says that misha was ” exceptionally sweet and caring , “ and took care to make sure she was okay after shooting scenes , and the hair stylist also described misha as being very kind and totally unlike the character he was playing , but beyond that i can’t find anything about the film . which is in itself alarming . why can’t i find any press that laura prepon did for the movie ? she is the star of the film . it’s very disturbing .

unspeakable images : ethnicity and the american cinema edited by lester friedman ( urbana : university of illinois press , 1991 ) : in his introduction , friedman notes the evolution of writing on ethnic representation in u . s . film :
because director luis prieto spends just enough time demonstrating how much frankie means to his mother , who’s a working - class waitress fighting for shared custody as it is , we’re right there with her throughout . five years ago , prieto oversaw an ultra - swanky remake of nicolas winding refn’s “pusher , ” all neon lights and self - conscious camera moves , that looked the way the 1996 danish crime film might had refn made it today . by comparison , “kidnap” might as well be an italian neorealist film . apart from a few cg - enhanced fly - over shots ( which suggest news - chopper footage of a police chase ) , the camera sticks close to karla , shaking enough to make the action feel immediate without leaving us carsick .

karla doesn’t have a plan , but she can adapt in a flash , which makes her something of a real - world wonder woman — especially any time one of the kidnappers dares to reach into or climb aboard her minivan . she’s the complete antithesis of the ambivalent parents seen in “loveless , ” a grim russian art film that premiered at cannes in which a divorcing couple fail to notice when their son goes missing ( although film critics are probably the only people who’d actually see both movies , which operate on opposite ends of the art - trash continuum ) . still , it’s undeniably more engaging to watch an almost real - time account of a mother fighting to get back her son than it is to ponder the conditions under which such a child might disappear unobserved .
. . . the topic of black film aesthetics cannot be divorced from the productive efforts of the spectator who works with and upon the film image . essays in the second part of the volume confront the question of black spectatorship head on . if , as ed guerrero proposes , the image of blacks on screen appears in the ' protective custody ' of hollywood , perhaps other dimensions to the representation of black life can be reclaimed at the site of reception

10 - year old karla has a puzzle she needs to solve . she is in a christmas mood and her biggest wish is to gather her whole family and get her divorced dad to attend the family christmas dinner . but karla ' s mom and step dad , leif , are way too busy and in no mood to bake cookies and get into the christmas spirit . the 5 - year old little brother has an invisible friend , licky , who , according to the little brother , is the cause of everything that goes wrong , all the while mads morten ( 8 ) is playing soccer everywhere . they never get blamed for anything - karla always takes the blame ! karla ' s dad , allan , is actually the world ' s best dad , sometimes . he tends to drink a little too much . mom , rikke , is obsessed with cleaning and is mad at everyone all the time . step dad , leif , is super busy and unfortunately not that much of a handy man when it comes to children matters . when her two siblings tear the house apart , her dad cancels their dinner the night before christmas eve and the mother ' s cleaning rage gets the best of her , karla is pushed over the edge . she runs away from home to her friend molly ' s house to spend christmas with her . but molly is already on her way to her grandmother ' s to have the perfect christmas with her family . disillusioned karla starts to wander around . she meets the shabby buster and the disabled ejnar and she decides to spend the night before christmas eve with them . in this oddly made group she discovers that families are not perfect and that she can only solve her problems by accepting and loving her family the way it is - maybe it is not so bad .
laura prepon dyes her hair blonde ( dammit ) and plays canadian serial killer karla homolka . some guy who has been on supernatural a lot plays paul , her husband . they kidnap and rape women . they videotape it . then they murder their victims . it ' s as unpleasant as it sounds .
, a debut solo exhibition by san francisco based artist karla ortiz . an unearthly display of new illustrations and paintings , ortiz’s mystic figures are draped in delicately rendered robes , a brooding darkness and mystery . steeped in their own lore , each work extends an invitation into the artist’s whimsical yet ghostly fantasy world .
the true test of a winning romantic comedy is whether it makes the audience root for the clinch between the mismatched lovers . despite its superficiality , the film succeeds in meeting that primary goal of the genre , so it leaves the audience in a cheerful mood .
by suggestion , i’m also adding a link to a documentary about paul bernardo and karla homolka called “ ken & barbie killers . ” if you are curious about the real - life couple , i think you get a better understanding from this documentary than from this movie , which leaves out a lot of information for legal reasons .
tomboyish ponytail : in the scene where karla meets paul , she wears her hair in a ponytail , to indicate her youth and freshness . in real life , homolka was 17 when she met paul at a veterinary convention . ( note : the age of consent in ontario is 16 , so there was no jail bait wait ) .
: dear karla , this is to inform you that after serving 8 years of your 12 year term , you ' re now eligible for parole . in connection with this eligibility , you are to be transferred to this facility for extended evaluation . after the end of which , it will be my responsibility to recommend for or against parole .
karla is so sickingly apologetic to homolka while leaving many factual pieces out . the story unfolds of homolka ( that ' 70s show ' s laura prepon ) in joliette prison speaking to a psychiatrist in 2002 in a whirlwind of montages and flashbacks . homolka ' s character retells how she met bernardo until the time they both went to prison .
this film , written by renowned author ulrich plenzdorf , was considered nihilistic , skeptical and hostile by officials . it became one of the dozen east german films banned in 1965 - 66 . only in 1990 , after the fall of the wall , was carla finally screened in cinemas .

this movie feels like a bad lifetime flick . while it doesn ' t directly excuse karla ' s role in the kidnappings , rapes , and murders , it does seriously try to convince us that paul was brutalizing her and she only went along with it because he made her , an assertion that paul disputes . the movie glosses over how terrible these crimes…
as a consequence , 12 defa films were banned that year . ten of them are now available in a digitally restored version in a dvd box set called

i recently read a book about serial killers , and the story of paul bernardo and karla homolka ' s kidnap - rape - and - murder rampage in 1990 ' s canada was one of the most intriguing . how involved was karla ? was she just an abused woman fearful for her own life , and she only helped a little ? or was she more deeply involved in the crimes , learning to get off on them just as much as paul did ? i ' d had this movie in my netflix queue for a long time , and finally decided to watch it , now that i knew what it was about . i think i was hoping for something more in - depth , but when the real life subject has been pretty quiet , maintaining her innocence and never…

hence , when the motion picture industry finally decided to revolutionize the whole framework of film in the late twenties through the mass - application of sound technology , the form and content of black racial characters and images was at its lowest , most derogatory level , although as such , fantastically popular .

i thought this was cute . karla souza is a good actor . there were times that i felt she was trying too hard , but i think that could be attributed to the directing as much as the acting . much of the movie is in english , so the subtitles did not tire me out at all . i enjoyed listening to the spanish . i also enjoyed the diversity represented here .
rather than look at individual characters or survey the history of asians in film , the focus here is on the way in which narratives featuring asian - caucasian sexual liasons work ideologically to uphold and sometimes subvert culturally accepted notions of nation , class , race , ethnicity , gender , and sexual orientation .

beyond mandingo ' s exploitation of hollywood ' s commercial strategies of interracial sex and violence , the film is worthwhile for its reversed point of view on slavery , as well as for scenes and details that unmask or counter the ideological stance taken in such films as the birth of a nation . . .

in this movie , two friends oppose the strict guidelines at their workplace in east germany . this leads to a conflict with the press , too . for the central committee , this was one of the
