the siege ( 1998 ) is a film about terrorists attacking in new york city , made about three years before 9 / 11 . the film was directed by edward zwick . denzel washington , annette bening , and bruce willis play patriotic characters with different ideas about the best way to defend america from terrorists .

while the siege did poorly in the domestic box - office when it was released in 1998 , audiences found it at rental stores in the aftermath of the 9 / 11 attack . the vhs version of the siege finished in the top 200 the week following the attack and was still in the top 250 a week later . the movie ' s dvd version also attracted renters ( video software dealers association , 2001 , september press release , no longer available online ) . though the film’s events are reminiscent of the events of 9 / 11 , the film still offers a typical action - adventure film ending which is more utopian than what occurred in the post - 9 / 11 social reality . as genre traditions require , the film’s conclusion reproduces and maintains the prevailing order that has been attacked . the film’s ending even restores racial justice , rejecting the film’s overzealous general’s attack on civil liberties , including the civil liberties of ethnic minorities . in addition , the film offers a true hollywood ending : the hero kills the foreign terrorist villain .

genre has never quite been a strength of irish cinema , but if there’s one particular set of tropes to which the country’s filmmakers have adapted well it’s those of the gangster picture . arguably the best of the bunch—certainly before in bruges—is the general , john boorman’s biography of dublin gang leader martin cahill , played with unending hilarity by a career - best brendan gleeson . boorman earned the best director award at cannes , and it’s not hard to see why : shot in splendid monochrome , the general has the visual feel of a film noir , cinematographer seamus deasy’s gripping use of shadow doing far more to suggest the moral complexity of this story than ever does…
the poster got this film made it look super serious so i had always put this film off and in reality it has very few serious moments to it and rather most of the hijinks that he does are played for laughs and to show how clever he is rather than the idiot that they hope he is . i ' m curious if a much more serious film like i expected would have made me like this film more or like it less . brendan is great in this role .

the siege was not the first , nor the last , hollywood film to portray arab terrorism as a threat to the united states . arabs as well as other foreigners and ethnic minorities are familiar villains from action adventure films , which have been hollywood’s main domestic and foreign products since the 1980s ( maltby , 1998 ) . as neale ( 2000 : p . 52 ) points out , the term “action - adventure” primarily refers to the action films of the 1980s and 1990s , and they all have common ingredients :
: while the military is portrayed as doing the best as they can and the general in charge of the operation and the cia officer attending to it have major doubts about their operation , they ' re still trampling on basic human rights , as opposed to the fbi ' s attempt to handle the situation as cleanly and humanely as possible .

in contradiction to a more traditional hollywood portrayal of terrorist villains , the film’s foreign villains are not insane individuals but people who have a clear terror campaign as well as clear plans of how to carry it out . they present a threat to u . s . society that is uncomfortable to viewers in the sense that the threat the film describes is believable . in fact this true u . s . nightmare was realized in a similar but even more horrifying form on september 11 , 2001 , when nearly 3 , 000 lives were lost . real life imitated this 1998 film when in the aftermath of the 9 / 11 attack , many civil liberties were lost as a result of government responses to a terrorist attack against the u . s . on its own soil .

the film has little of the visual dazzle often associated with boorman ' s movies , but the somber , black - and - white cinematography helps even out the often larger - than - life tone .
boorman’s choice of the retro format of b & w and widescreen gives the film a certain distance and stylization . but in its vigor and use of music and songs , “the general” at times reaches back to his first feature , “catch us if you can” ( 1965 ) , and — in its harder , more violent moments — to his classic , california - set gangster movie , “point blank” ( 1967 ) .
by later the same day the radio station [ in gadsen , alabama ] personnel had attempted to contact modern people news and had been in touch with the alabama attorney general’s office . following these efforts at verification , a statement was read on the air saying that although the attorney general had received between two and three thousand letters over a period of several weeks concerning the supposed gay - jesus movie , no evidence could be found that such a project ever existed . modern people news , it was stated , seemed to have either gone out of business or changed their name .
a non - film version of a work similar to the one described in the petition was produced in 1998 , when terrance mcnally’s dramatic offering corpus christi began previews at the manhattan theater club in new york . as described by the new york times , the production “retells the biblical story of a jesus - like figure — from his birth in a texas flea - bag hotel with people having profane , violent sex in a room next door , to his crucifixion as ‘king of the queers’ in a manner with the potential to offend many people . ”

the siege clearly takes a much darker approach to terrorism than any other film with terrorist themes that was in the annual top fifty domestic box - office in the two decades prior to the september 11 , 2001 attack . [ 2 ] it largely relies on creating a mood and fear of terrorism . its focus is on the aftermath and social consequences of terrorist attacks rather than on reveling in portraying explosive fireworks , bloody massacres or detailed killings of villains . the film does portray one bus explosion as it happens and some minor counterterrorism attacks in new york city , but it also addresses the emotional impact of terrorist attacks by showing the after - attack destruction of the film’s terrorist attacks . this includes showing the attacks’ human toll and how that impacts society and some of the film’s main characters .

based on a legend from medieval china , mulan is the story of a girl who disguises herself as a man and goes to war in place of her father . at the time of the film’s release in 1998 , it was widely rumoured that the chinese government banned it because they were so insulted by disney’s interpretation . in actual fact , they were in a sulk because miramax had backed a film about the dalai lama , and refused to distribute any disney films at all . ironically , mulan was used as a bargaining chip by disney to help smooth over their relations , and while this succeeded , the film didn’t . despite taking $ 300 million elsewhere , mulan proved to be a substantial flop in the country of its heroine . the reason ? other than it having a rubbish release date , it seems that disney was just as adept at disguising the title character . so , how different is their version from the source text ?

and it did . the manhattan theater club’s announcement of the play as part of its fall season was greeted with bomb threats promising to “burn the place to the ground” if the production opened . in may 1998 the theatre announced it was pulling “corpus christi” from its line - up . a week later it changed its mind , reinstating the play to its fall roster . caught between cries of censorship on one side and outraged sensibilities on the other , the theatre had to make a choice .
de heer’s collaboration with the yolngu people of ramingining began in 2000 when australian screen icon david gulpilil was cast as the lead in de heer’s film the tracker . at their first meeting in adelaide , gulpilil invited de heer to meet with him among his family in ramingining , to see his traditional lands and to make a film with him set in this area of north east arnhem land . de heer first visited ramingining in late 2000 . in 2003 , he and gulpilil began working together on a film , meeting with a number of gulpilil’s influential contemporaries to discuss ideas for it . all agreed the film should be set in “old times” , and initially they settled on the idea of some kind of aboriginal story that would end with the massacre of the yolngu characters by white invaders . this plan was abandoned , however , when gulpilil insisted that the film should centre on ten canoes . according to gulpilil :

all this can easily be applied to the film , where transitions that in literature took centuries have come about in a decade . in cinematic practice , particularly in russia , this change - over has partially become established reality . some of the players whom we meet in russian films are not actors in our sense but people who portray themselves and primarily in their own work process . in western europe the capitalistic exploitation of the film denies consideration to modern man’s legitimate claim to being reproduced . under these circumstances the film industry is trying hard to spur the interest of the masses through illusion - promoting spectacles and dubious speculations .
as wasko ( 1994 ) points out , hollywood films are foremost commodities and have been recognized as such for a long time . in today’s extremely competitive market economy , media conglomerates , whose subsidiaries film studios are , fight against losses by investing in products and formulas that have brought profits in the past , such as films of the action - adventure genre . film genres regularly follow the traditional classical hollywood cinema narrative structure but also respond to the prevailing political environment , as well as to changes in public opinion and audience interests . this is also the case with the action - adventure film genre .

cassandra truth : general devereaux himself warns his superiors not to use him or his troops in new york city , as he knows that extremely strict martial law and the extreme force the military requires to carry out its operations would result in human rights violations , if not worse . they ignore his protests and everything goes to hell .
, to wreak havoc on the populace after having been interred underground for thousands of years ( a touch unique to spielberg’s version ) —the film’s approach to the story rarely generated excitement in its audiences , who may have been primed for more action than watching cruise hiding in a farmhouse with a nutty survivor ( tim robbins ) . the film was a box - office success , though some critical dissent was registered .
the distracted person , too , can form habits . more , the ability to master certain tasks in a state of distraction proves that their solution has become a matter of habit . distraction as provided by art presents a covert control of the extent to which new tasks have become soluble by apperception . since , moreover , individuals are tempted to avoid such tasks , art will tackle the most difficult and most important ones where it is able to mobilize the masses . today it does so in the film . reception in a state of distraction , which is increasing noticeably in all fields of art and is symptomatic of profound changes in apperception , finds in the film its true means of exercise . the film with its shock effect meets this mode of reception halfway . the film makes the cult value recede into the background not only by putting the public in the position of the critic , but also by the fact that at the movies this position requires no attention . the public is an examiner , but an absent - minded one .

the fbi , cia , nypd and u . s . army all become involved . the plot portrays conflicts and distrust among these agencies ' representatives , reflecting real life trouble among the country’s some fifty counterterrorist agencies . the film’s protagonist , anthony “hub” hubbard ( played by denzel washington ) leads a joint fbi / nypd antiterrorist force . he works in partial co - operation with a cia operative , elise kraft / sharon bridger ( played by annette bening ) , who first introduces herself as elise kraft , hiding her real name as well as her own close connections to the suspected arab terrorists . general devereaux ( played by bruce willis ) further complicates hubbard’s efforts when the general implements martial law . the narrative emphasizes the unsavory aspects of devereaux ' character , especially showing that he has no respect for the u . s . constitution , that he is over - zealous in trying to resolve the matter his own way , and that he had been the brains behind the muslim religious leader’s capture , which he has kept a secret from the president .
this piece about an upcoming “gay jesus film” is one of those examples that demonstrates a good petition never goes away , even when the issue it addresses has long since been settled ( or was never really an issue in the first place ) . the “gay jesus film” petition first hit the fan in 1984 , and by the end of 1985 more than a million christians had written protest letters in an attempt to have the non - existent movie it referenced banned .

for the film , what matters primarily is that the actor represents himself to the public before the camera , rather than representing someone else . one of the first to sense the actor’s metamorphosis by this form of testing was pirandello . though his remarks on the subject in his novel si gira were limited to the negative aspects of the question and to the silent film only , this hardly impairs their validity . for in this respect , the sound film did not change anything essential . what matters is that the part is acted not for an audience but for a mechanical contrivance – in the case of the sound film , for two of them . “the film actor , ” wrote pirandello , “feels as if in exile – exiled not only from the stage but also from himself . with a vague sense of discomfort he feels inexplicable emptiness : his body loses its corporeality , it evaporates , it is deprived of reality , life , voice , and the noises caused by his moving about , in order to be changed into a mute image , flickering an instant on the screen , then vanishing into silence . . . . the projector will play with his shadow before the public , and he himself must be content to play before the camera . ” this situation might also be characterized as follows : for the first time – and this is the effect of the film – man has to operate with his whole living person , yet forgoing its aura . for aura is tied to his presence ; there can be no replica of it . the aura which , on the stage , emanates from macbeth , cannot be separated for the spectators from that of the actor . however , the singularity of the shot in the studio is that the camera is substituted for the public . consequently , the aura that envelops the actor vanishes , and with it the aura of the figure he portrays .
the artistic performance of a stage actor is definitely presented to the public by the actor in person ; that of the screen actor , however , is presented by a camera , with a twofold consequence . the camera that presents the performance of the film actor to the public need not respect the performance as an integral whole . guided by the cameraman , the camera continually changes its position with respect to the performance . the sequence of positional views which the editor composes from the material supplied him constitutes the completed film . it comprises certain factors of movement which are in reality those of the camera , not to mention special camera angles , close - ups , etc . hence , the performance of the actor is subjected to a series of optical tests . this is the first consequence of the fact that the actor’s performance is presented by means of a camera . also , the film actor lacks the opportunity of the stage actor to adjust to the audience during his performance , since he does not present his performance to the audience in person . this permits the audience to take the position of a critic , without experiencing any personal contact with the actor . the audience’s identification with the actor is really an identification with the camera . consequently the audience takes the position of the camera ; its approach is that of testing . this is not the approach to which cult values may be exposed .
as a deadly russian agent and ray winstone as a british agent who secretly is in the pay of the soviets and double - crosses indy . deliberately made with a retro style , the film found favour with audiences , becoming the third biggest movie at the box - office that year .
essentially , disney’s enemy comes from outside and is an invading force , whereas wei’s is an uprising and a threat to the emperor’s ego . in addition , the film shows us the huns attacking the great wall and the emperor’s reaction ; the play simply sees mulan stand in front of the audience and give a monologue . which brings us to the title character .
boorman ' s film is shot in wide - screen black and white , and as it often does , black and white emphasizes the characters and the story , instead of setting them awash in atmosphere . and boorman ' s narrative style has a nice offhand feel about it . instead of explaining everything in neat little simpleminded setups , he lets us discover for ourselves that cahill is living with both women . as the general unfolds his devious criminal schemes , we see them as they develop , instead of getting those cliched crime movie chalk talks .
although the action - adventure classification as a film genre did not become part of the popular culture until the 1980s , the 1960s had already introduced spectacular non - stop action with the screen arrival of james bond . the bond films , which at very first were considered to be b - films in the u . s . , set the standard for big - event action - adventure films which have repeated ingredients , including a simplified characterization of villains , usually foreign and to some degree insane . at the end of each film the white hero returns the balance of power , the last shot showing bond’s departure from the screen with his latest female conquest .
a talented team of hollywood directors and writers enlisted in the armed services and were assigned to the film units that created them , including frank capra , john huston , john ford , george stevens , and william wyler .
classic , which had already been adapted into a highly regarded film in 1953 . despite a number of effective set pieces , including the opening scene—in which giant alien tripods emerge from underneath the streets of modern - day newark ,
thanks for the comment and tip ! i actually have this film and i agree , especially the end decision . it could have been really cheesy at some points but they kept it just right . the editing was a bit hap - hazard though !
from an alluring appearance or persuasive structure of sound the work of art of the dadaists became an instrument of ballistics . it hit the spectator like a bullet , it happened to him , thus acquiring a tactile quality . it promoted a demand for the film , the distracting element of which is also primarily tactile , being based on changes of place and focus which periodically assail the spectator . let us compare the screen on which a film unfolds with the canvas of a painting . the painting invites the spectator to contemplation ; before it the spectator can abandon himself to his associations . before the movie frame he cannot do so . no sooner has his eye grasped a scene than it is already changed . it cannot be arrested . duhamel , who detests the film and knows nothing of its significance , though something of its structure , notes this circumstance as follows : “i can no longer think what i want to think . my thoughts have been replaced by moving images . ” the spectator’s process of association in view of these images is indeed interrupted by their constant , sudden change . this constitutes the shock effect of the film , which , like all shocks , should be cushioned by heightened presence of mind . by means of its technical structure , the film has taken the physical shock effect out of the wrappers in which dadaism had , as it were , kept it inside the moral shock effect .

the non - existence of a “gay jesus film” did not stem the ire of those who heard about it . blasphemy — even the mere hint of it — is enough to mobilize good christian soldiers everywhere . in 1988 , martin scorsese’s the last temptation of christ reaped massive publicity — and long lines at the box office — after fundamentalist christians picketed theaters . the uproar wasn’t over a gay jesus , merely one who both questioned his fate and who had a dream about a sexual relationship with mary magdalene . the film remains controversial to this day .
the fbi / nypd task force is baffled by the terrorist demand to “release him . ” imitating real life problems in cooperation between some fifty counterterrorism agencies , as discussed by the 9 / 11 commission report , the film’s hero soon learns the difficulty of sharing information and getting cooperation between different government agencies in counterterrorism .
corpus christi is undoubtedly the “play that went on for a while but never stopped” referred to in the current petition , but there are still no plans to make a movie out of it . the 2010 release corpus christi : playing with redemption is often mistakenly cited as a film version of the play corpus christi , but it is not ; it’s a documentary about the controversy surrounding one particular troupe’s production of the play , not a movie version of the play itself . likewise , the 2006 dvd release entitled corpus christi is simply a documentary about the historical figure of jesus , not a film version of the similarly titled play .
but the siege still relies on the use of film villains familiar from other films on terrorism , that is , terrorists who are on a crusade against the united states . however , the script then revolves around the threats that come from government responses to terrorism , that is , responses that damage civil liberties and civil society . the plot ' s conclusion deals with what happens to citizens and society when the u . s . government sees the country as a target of terrorists attacks and takes action to protect the country , but does it using such extreme actions that u . s . citizens themselves become targets . in other words , the main threat in the film is not actually international terrorism per se . rather , the plot explores how shifts in the country’s foreign policy can work against its own security , in this particular film bringing old u . s . allies to the u . s . to attack the country on its own soil .
the original movie was based on the chinese legend , and kept the characters in tune with the legend .
, and arliss howard—and returnee jeff goldblum , who again plays a scientist who knows this manipulation of nature for profit is both crass and morally indefensible . there are numerous thrills , and the dinosaur special effects equal those of the earlier film .
a special u . s . military task force captures a fundamentalist islamic cleric , a terrorist leader , in a covert operation . this sets the film’s events , terrorist attacks on new york city , in motion .
a thief , pursued by an old friend from the neighborhood , evades the cops and the ira . brendan gleeson is fantastic as the eponymous character ; he ' s both awkward and wily , not looking the part of the thief but pulling it off believably . the rest of the supporting cast supports gleeson admirably , but even jon voight doesn ' t deliver a stand - out performance . the story is fairly basic - - a crime drama in which the criminal cleverly eludes his pursuers - - and i can ' t say that by the end of the film i cared about the characters . the film is so evenly presented that i wondered what it was saying . what is unique about this criminal that we haven ' t seen before besides his physique ( compare gleeson to george clooney ' s danny ocean ) ? overall , there ' s not a lot to feel strongly about in this film except gleeson ' s superb performance .
my opinion of the film has changed over the years and i appreciate it for what it is . my two year old grandson watches it several times a day and enjoys it because of the music and animation / artwork . one of the things i find interesting is , it remains one of the few disney films where the villain’s end is the direct result of the hero’s actions rather than the classic disney “fall” to his death .
crime drama about irish gangster martin cahill ( brendan gleeson ) who became known as ' the general ' after co - ordinating a series of armed robberies in dublin during the 1980s . hailed in some quarters as a folk - hero for his defiance against the authorities , martin pulls one job too many when he steals paintings belonging to the beit collection . with the police , headed by ned kenny ( jon voight ) , closing in , cahill ' s problems are multiplied by the increasing interest of the ira in his activities .

maru piravi | full tamil movie | 1973 | muthuraman | manjula | c . v . raman
saktivelu ( kamal haasan ) returns home to his father , periya thevar’s ( sivaji ganesan ) village in tamil nadu , after completing his education in london . much to his father’s annoyance , he brings his westernized girlfriend ( gautami ) with him to meet his family . periya thevar [ lower - alpha 2 ] is deeply offended since it is tradition that the family elders choose the youngster ' s spouses . to make things worse , saktivelu reveals his plans on opening a chain of restaurants in chennai which saddens periya thevar as he wanted his son to help the villagers improve their lifestyle with his level of education .
periya thevar is a well respected village chief . his younger half - brother ( kaka radhakrishnan ) and nephew maya thevar ( nassar ) hold a huge grudge against him over a falling out . the entire village suffers from a spillover of this longstanding family feud as most of the village and its surrounding areas that fall within its jurisdiction is divided between the brothers . since maya thevar always tries to one up periya thevar , it puts them at loggerheads with each other .
saktivelu spends time in the village with his girlfriend by re - visiting his childhood memories . they come across an old temple which has been closed off on maya thevar’s instructions . he insists on entering and his friend and servant esaki ( vadivelu ) breaks open the lock for them to look around . maya thevar hears of this and a brutal riot is started among the two village factions . periya thevar , in order to quell the situation , contemplates on apologizing to his opponents . sakthivelu feels it should be him or esaki who should apologize . when saktivelu asks for esaki , he learns that maya thevar has amputated esaki’s hand for opening the temple . in order to prevent further escalation of the situation saktivelu , with permission from his father , enlists the help of his friends in the government and opens the temple for all legally . slighted by this , maya thevar hires goons to break a dam protecting a part of the village faction that supports periya thevar . although one of the villagers spots one of the goons near the dam , he does not think much of it .
the dam is damaged by explosives used by the goons which results in flooding of half the village . this results in numerous deaths including infants which deeply saddens saktivelu . he spots the goon who placed the explosives again in the village and gives chase . after capturing , he hands the goon over to the police but the goon does not speak of maya thevar ' s involvement due to fear for his own family ' s safety .
later maya thevar closes a portion of his land , preventing the public from reaching the main road easily . sakthivelu and his father invite them for talks at village panchayat to resolve the standoff due the riots and flooding . in the village panchayat [ lower - alpha 3 ] , accusations fly from both sides . with no evidence backing up the truth , maya thevar accuses periya thevar for orchestrating various attacks on his brother ' s family . disrespected and broken , periya thevar returns to his home and passes away due to a heart attack later that night . saktivelu takes over his father’s duties as the head of the village .
as time passes , this incident dies down . the villagers express concern to saktivelu about going around the piece of land belonging to maya thevar’s side of the village everyday to work in their farm which causes a much longer travelling time . saktivelu reasons with the owner of the land to open it up for all villagers to pass so that their long commute is shortened . although understanding and willing , the land owner ( played by kallapart natarajan ) who actually is maya thevar ' s maternal uncle , is afraid of maya thevar’s backlash especially since he has a daughter ( revathi ) . saktivelu assuages his fear by arranging marriage between a well - to - do person from his village to the land owner ' s daughter . everybody involved happily agrees and the land owner opens up the land for everyone .
on the day of the wedding , the groom runs away , fearing maya thevar . the landowner and his daughter are distraught over this claiming that it is a huge disrespect to his family . he opines that even if someone marries his daughter , they have to live in constant fear . saktivelu then gets permission from the landowner and weds his daughter . although saktivelu still has feelings for his girlfriend and his new bride is very shy , they overcome their awkwardness and move on . soon , his girlfriend returns and learns the truth . although saddened by the turn of events , she understands the situation and leaves . saktivelu , too , closes the chapter about his girlfriend and starts his new life with his wife .
maya thevar , agitated by the opening of the land , plants a bomb during the village festival . this results in deaths on both sides of the village . both factions of the village , wanting revenge , go after maya thevar and his family . saktivelu protects the innocent family and helps them get away from the villagers . appreciative of saktivelu ' s efforts to protect them , they give away maya thevar ' s hiding location .
saktivelu goes to meet maya thevar and asks him to surrender to the police before the villagers kill him . maya thevar’s rabid hatred for saktivelu makes him reject his offer of help . maya thevar , blaming saktivelu for all his problems , tries to kill him . in the struggle that follows , saktivelu accidentally decapitates maya thevar . although other villagers are willing to take the blame for maya thevar ' s murder , saktivelu gives himself up to the police .
