lillian keil flight nurse army air corps . one of a cadre of first flight nurses in military . lillian is the most decorated woman in military history . she was one of the first flight attendants for pan am then united . back in those days only nurses were hired by airlines . i ' m proud to sy that lillian was one of my dearest friends .
zemeckis has enough control as a filmmaker to overshadow flight ' s structural problems , thus making the film both crowd - pleasing and emotionally involving .
flight is a well - made motion picture , but not a fun or entertaining one .

the resolute humanity of military flight nurses and the courage of the air force personnel , whose job it is to transport the war wounded and injured in defenseless helicopters and planes to medical stations , are deserving of a better tribute than they receive in republic ' s

14 . the film enjoyed one of the longest theatrical runs in movie history .
15 . kesey refused to see the film ( but may have by accident ) .
the film that passenger 57 would like to be when it grows up is die hard , not most people ' s idea of a grown - up film in the first place .
there were several changes made to the film during script rewrites . some original ideas include :
between washington ' s singular performance and zemeckis ' extraordinary direction ,
flight
sees one of the more revelatory actor / director combinations in recent memory .
sharon is now rose and chris ' s non - biological daughter , like the final film .
in this war drama , set during the korean war , an air force nurse gets involved in a love triangle on the front lines .
this foundation degree in film is an exciting course with a broad vocational base designed to meet the fast paced requirements of the creative work place particularly in the area of film and television , drama and documentary production .
a number of different actresses were considered for the role of nurse ratched , the film’s central antagonist , as well : anne bancroft , colleen dewhurst , geraldine page , and angela lansbury were all in the running , before louise fletcher ultimately got the part .
robert zemeckis ' flight is worth seeing for denzel washington ' s oscar - nominated performance as well as a marvellously tense plane crash - but the rest is disappointingly soap opera - esque .

back at the nurse’s station , akilitus summons jackie . so jackie does what jackie does best . sinking deeper and deeper into an ocean of denial , and with a look of piercing pain on her face , she ignores a mom’s pleading cry — “nurse , my son needs you ! ” — and flees all saints hospital .
yet for many mental health professionals the book and film also had a negative effect . a 1983 study involving 146 university students found
considerable negative changes in attitude
towards people with mental health problems among those who had seen the film .

this film brings back memories . i grew up in fullerton , california , and most of the films i saw in the 1950s played our local fox theater . i suspect that ' s where i saw
flight nurse .
haven ' t seen it since , but i do remember it . as i recall , it was the second film on a double bill .
flight nurse
was a low budget effort , to be sure . as with many such productions , its low budget did not mean low quality . the cast was certainly competent and the script okay if not exceptional . one scene stands out in my mind , a bit of comic relief . as i recall , several of the film ' s characters found themselves next to a base ammo dump . one of them was doing something not considered safe practice , perhaps getting ready to throw away a lighted match . anyway , one of the other characters criticizes the match - thrower and points to a sign posted next to a pile of bombs . the sign says
we want this ammo to explode , just not here !
the setting of this film , korean war medical evacuations , is an interesting one . your time won ' t be wasted if you watch this film , especially if you do not expect it to be another
sands of iwo jima
or

the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
the science fiction author joan d . vinge wrote a novelization of the film , also called return to oz ( 1985 ) .
passenger 57 is one of those films that might have looked good on paper , but on - screen doesn ' t work whatsoever . this film suffers from a poorly written script that even though has an interesting premise for its plot really leaves you wanting more out of the film . the film ends up feeling like a tiresome , mishmash of poorly constructed action scenes that has no real payoff . acting wise , this film suffers majorly and there are no standout performances aside from bruce payne . wesley snipers is a horrible actor and he doesn ' t have any screen presence that makes you interested in seeing the film . i hated the film , and it just felt like a cheesy , pointless and awfully stitched together mess of a picture that simply was forgettable . this could have been a great film , unfortunately due to a poor script , and bad directing , not to mention a forgettable cast , it ends up being a bad action film that just tries too hard at ripping off die hard , which was a far superior film . if you want a well executed action film , you won ' t find it here . the film had so much potential in being a good flick ; you just want to guess what it could have been . director kevin hooks is a poorly skilled director and with this train wreck , you can clearly see why . watch something different , you ' ll be glad you did . passenger 57 is one of the worst action films that i had the misfortune to watch . a poorly made film that stalled right from the start . definitely a film not worth seeing , and with that said , i ' m not even sure why wesley snipes became a big action star , the guy is plainly horrible and talentless and his only good film was major league .
' flight ' is predictable in its plotting and soft in its conclusions . but thanks to that dynamite opening and washington ' s effortless performance , it ' s also an enjoyable , compelling slice of old - school melodrama .
the film underscores the loss of personal freedom with recurring patterns of barriers , gates , fences , bars , locks , and shackles . we hear the ward door slam ominously behind nurse ratched as the first sound of the movie . we see bancini locked in overnight restraints . mcmurphy first appears in manacles . throughout the film , faces are filmed behind wire mesh and bars to emphasize the hopelessness of captivity . the glass of the nurse’s station represents the barrier between the individual and power—a barrier the patients are forbidden to cross , even though it appears more transparent than bars . mcmurphy first crosses the barrier when he attempts it to turn down the music so he can think , but nurse ratched escorts him out , unwilling to tolerate independent thought . later he shoves his hand through the glass , shattering the boundaries maintained by the authoritative state , with dire consequences .
as head nurse in a mental institution , nurse ratched should be promoting her patients’ sanity , but instead her tyranny directly subverts their mental health . she keeps the patients docile , medicated , dependent , and childlike . mcmurphy tells the patients they are not loonies but men , and he encourages their manhood through fishing and basketball . the men then begin to ask reasonable questions about nurse ratched’s authority . scanlon wants to know why the dormitory is locked during the day . she explains , insidiously , that time spent in the company of others is therapeutic . cheswick demands the cigarettes she has confiscated and informs her that he is not a little child . nurse ratched’s oppression , however , causes cheswick to lose control , and she keeps him in place with electroshock therapy . the men do not improve under her domination but rather disintegrate like billy bibbit . nurse ratched’s reason for keeping mcmurphy on the ward , she tells the doctor , is to help him . instead , she robs him of his vivacity and his sanity .
while there are no real plot holes between this film and 1939 ' s the wizard of oz beyond dorothy ' s knowledge of the deadly desert - - though someone could have easily explained it to her
off - camera
- - a few aspects are slightly changed . she seems younger in this film , and many previous characters look slightly different than before . the cowardly lion does not stand on two legs in this film either .
after world war ii , keil returned to her job as a stewardess but signed up for military flight duty again when war broke out in korea . she was assigned to a squadron nicknamed the angels of mercy and recalled flying the wounded out of chosin .
rose , sharon and cybil died near the beginning of the film in the car / motorcycle crash and are trapped in purgatory in the ending .
most of the monsters featured are taken from silent hill 2 : the lying figure ( ' armless man ' ) , the bubble head nurse ( ' dark nurse ' ) and pyramid head ( ' red pyramid ' ) . the mannequin creature is also somewhat referenced , as there are two scenes that prominently feature broken - down mannequins . otherwise , the only monsters adapted from the first game are the mumbler / grey child and the creepers . the only original creature featured in the film is ' colin the janitor ' , who was thought up the day before his scenes were shot .

christophe gans spent 5 years trying to convince konami to allow him to adapt silent hill , and was only able to do so after filming a short version of it on his own budget . konami was impressed with his film , and agreed to allow him to co - write and direct a feature film version of the game . roger avary was later brought on to write the film ' s dialogue , due to the poor english of gans and fellow writer nicolas boukhrief .
although ken kesey was initially involved in the film adaptation of his 1962 novel , he left the production after just two weeks and took a law suit out against the film ' s producers . kesey ' s grievances were numerous but most notably he wanted gene hackman , not jack nicholson , to play randle mcmurphy . the author was also incensed that chief bromden ( played by will sampson ) was not the narrator in the film , as he is in the novel . one lovely story goes that kesey mistakenly stumbled across the film on television many years later , and was enjoying what he saw , but hurriedly switched channels when he realised what he was watching .
when she became pregnant with her first child in 1955 , she was honorably discharged from the air force . the young family moved to covina in 1958 , and she continued to work as a nurse in emergency rooms and hospitals .
some of the incidents in this film were based on the experiences of captain lillian m . kinkela , a highly - decorated member of the flight nurses of the 801st medical evacuation sqaudron sent to korea . captain kinkela , from richmond , california , flew over 175 missions while in korea , taking part in the evacuation of the chosin reservoir , and also in the retreat down the korean peninsula to taegu , flying out casualties from sinanju , inchon and wonson
capt . lillian kinkella keil , a nurse who flew on 425 combat evacuation missions in world war ii and korea and was one of the most decorated women in u . s . military history , has died . she was 88 .
the dedicated nurse and hardcore drug addict has hit rock bottom ( we can only hope it doesn’t get worse ) in tonight’s sixth season finale of “showtime’s” touted series , for which edie falco won the 2010 emmy for best actress in a comedy . with the exception of maybe “shameless” ( another showtime commodity ) , no show nails down addiction better than “nurse jackie , ” where the ugliness , narcissism and selfishness of the disease is on open — and unapologetic — display .
a later version of the script was released , closer to the final version of the film . [ 4 ] some scenes in this script were filmed and then removed .
in the beginning of the film , after rose saves sharon , sharon is coloring under a tree . the pencil she is holding changes from yellow to red between shots .
when producers were shopping the picture to studios , 20th century fox was interested , but with a catch . fox would distribute the film , but only if the filmmakers would agree to rewrite the ending ; the studio wanted mcmurphy to live . producers saul zaentz and michael douglas wisely considered this a deal breaker , and united artists eventually distributed the film .
work for location medial services generally falls into one of two categories : film & tv work and event work . we do not do patient transport or nhs ambulance contract work .
fans of the film ' s hero often forget the reason he ended up in prison in the first place was the statutory rape of a 15 - year - old girl .
the film also takes elements from silent hill 2 and silent hill 3 , and includes the soundtracks from 1 , 2 , 3 , and silent hill 4 : the room .
the film features various references to silent hill 3 : sharon ' s line

hours later nurse wilson finally fetches her . she ties her to a stretcher and she is rolled away down the halls of the hospital to a little room where the electroshock machine is held . just as dr . worley is about to use it on her , a terrible thunderstorm hits which causes the power to go out . dr . worley and nurse wilson leave to check the generator . dorothy is left all alone in the dark again , and the screams and cries in the distance can be heard more clearly now . shortly after the girl dorothy met earlier mysteriously arrives to help her quickly escape , revealing that the screaming she heard wasn ' t just her imagination but real . dr . worley ' s machines have mentally damaged and driven most of his patients mad and insane . the girl also says that he , along with the help of nurse wilson , has locked them all away in a cellar to keep people from knowing the truth and fighting him and nurse wilson out of their crimes . however , when the girls leave the room and rush towards the exit , they are seen and caught red handed by nurse wilson who glares at them and becomes infuriated . she pursues to chase after them , along with other staff .
when mcmurphy finally gets his hands around nurse ratched’s neck in the film’s explosive climax , she looks understandably terrified — and , more than anything , confused . the world - view by which she has defined her entire life has collided with its exact opposite . what could be scarier than that ? it is to the film’s eternal credit , though , that both mcmurphy and ratched can co - exist equally , with their own competing priorities , without the audience being asked to choose between them . in 1975 , the movie must have seemed quite the rabble - rouser . the years have had a sobering effect .
many of the film’s scenes reflect upon the sense of hearing as a means of understanding and connection among the characters . the chief pretends to be deaf in order to withdraw from his surroundings , but mcmurphy talks to him anyway as a means of establishing a human connection . his affectionate chatter begins to engage the chief in life once again . on the other hand , the numbing music that nurse ratched plays is so loud that mcmurphy complains he can’t hear himself think . he tells her the men wouldn’t have to shout if she would turn the volume down . nurse ratched , however , opposes thinking , understanding , and any other activity that would lead to healthy human relationships between the patients .
rose originally was supposed to have black hair . this description of rose lasted until radha mitchell was hired to portray her , and was even drawn into the film ' s storyboard artwork .

her appearance generated a record amount of mail , much of it from wounded veterans who remembered the tiny black - haired nurse .
the film is a loose adaptation of the first silent hill video game , which was developed by team silent and published by konami . however , while there are strong similarities to the video games , there are many key differences to the point where the film is its own thing as it was never intended to be a fully faithful live - action recreation of the video game . it should not be considered a replacement for the video game . the film is also set in a separate continuity from the video games so it is non - canonical to the video games .
yes , the film includes the deaths of both professor x / charles xavier as well as wolverine / logan . they’re not pretend dead , or kinda dead , they’re just dead . there’s always the possibility that logan will somehow spark his regeneration ( either internally or from some external influence ) , however if they just turn around and bring him back that would cheapen this film immeasurably .
the final scene with the children , leaving for canada ( presumably to meet up with a kinder - gentler government , possibly to form a new version of alpha flight ) , opens with them standing around logan’s grave . laura recites the scene from the film she watched with xavier earlier in the casino hotel room . it’s from the ’53 western , shane , and it speaks of the main character’s inability to escape what he’s done , so he has to find a way to live with it , and accept it .
ryan gilbey is the new statesman ' s film critic . he is also the author of it don ' t worry me ( faber ) , about 1970s us cinema , and a study of groundhog day in the

series ( bfi publishing ) . he was named reviewer of the year in the 2007 press gazette awards and is film critic in residence at falmouth university .
in the film , birds appear to signal the upcoming otherworld shift . when rose first enters the alley , disturbed ravens take flight just before the sirens begin to blare , similar to the scene just outside the church . as well , when the brethren endeavor to break through the door rose was behind , a bird within a cage becomes frantic and they cease their assault , carrying the bird with them . this was not originally a part of the script ; writer roger avary had to talk christophe gans into the idea .
, a little more than 30 years later . in that film , he seems to have no idea how he affects everything else in the movie : how it capsizes it . whereas his work in
as well as being regarded as a classic novel and film , ' one flew over the cuckoo ' s nest ' is generally considered to have left a lasting impact on the field of psychiatry .
it’s not quite the ensemble piece that it might sound like , the focus landing principally on the nurse ( aggeliki papoulia , the only cast member to recur from “dogtooth” ) . as the group’s newest member , and its most independent , the majority of scenes are spent with her , while the leader mont blanc by necessity remains an enigma . the gymnast ( “attenberg” star ariane labed , who’s superb here ) and coach ( johnny vekris ) have a fruitful , fascinating relationship , with major scenes bookending the film , but they’re generally in support to papoulia , whose part has similar dna to her role of the older daughter in the earlier film , while also proving distinct .
director christophe gans has stated they are two separate cults and that the order is not the cult in the film . he implies that jennifer carroll was burned alive by the movie ' s cult , tying the order to the film cult and says they have
opposite
beliefs . the brethren are witch hunters who kill convicted witches to prevent the apocalypse . this is something which revelation apparently retconned .
while laura turns out to be the biological equivalent of logan , x - 24 , when he appears in the second half of the film , is an outright clone . he’s wolverine in his classic prime with all of the anger and violence , but none of the humanity . logan in the condition he is in the film would never have been able to beat a younger version of himself alone . i
for the lowly protagonist , david mann , spielberg hand - picked character actor dennis weaver because he loved his performance as the jittery and feeble hotel night manager in orson welles’s 1958 film touch of evil .
that brief synopsis , from the press kit , for the uninitiated : “a nurse , a paramedic , a gymnast and her coach have formed a service for hire . they stand in for dead people by appointment , hired by the relatives , friends or colleagues of the deceased . the company is called alps . the leader , the paramedic , calls himself mont blanc . although alps members operate under a discipline regime demanded by their leader , the nurse does not . ” there we go . there’s your premise . we’ll try to stay within it , but no promises .
silent hill is a 2006 horror film directed by christophe gans and written by roger avary in conjunction with christophe gans and nicolas boukhrief . it was released in theaters on april 21 , 2006 by tristar pictures .
“alps” is , principally , a film about grief , about how you deal with a parent , or a spouse , or a child , or a friend , who’s suddenly no longer around . it’s also , to some extent , about acting and actors — the nurse is almost always playing a role , becoming something of a blank slate when she’s not . not that the members of alps are chameleons ; the blank readings they give when inhabiting the deceased gives the scenes a deeply unnerving quality .
one flew over the cuckoo’s nest is a film with distinct political undercurrents , which are forcefully presented . when men conform to authoritarian rule , the film argues , they jeopardize not only their physical but also their mental freedom . mcmurphy learns that the prison where he was held previously offered greater personal freedom than nurse ratched ’s ward . in prison , he could have watched the world series , served out his sixty - eight days , and then been free to go . nurse ratched’s authority , however , extends from the television to the term of mcmurphy’s commitment , and her authority will not bear rebellion . under her totalitarian control , mcmurphy cannot even be sure what the rules are , for she rigs them to achieve the results she wants . when the men side unanimously with mcmurphy the second time they vote on watching the world series , nurse ratched announces calmly that the nine men with their hands up represent only half the ward and therefore are not a majority . the unresponsive patients , the “chronics , ” do not threaten her control . when the chief surprises everyone by raising his hand , she tells the jubilant mcmurphy that his vote does not count , because the meeting is adjourned . under authoritarian rule , even the appearance of democracy is subverted to maintain the status quo .

the original climax of the film was very different from the one that was shot . originally , six red pyramids were supposed to rise into the church and slaughter the cultists with various weapons , while one held dark alessa and let her dance in the blood of the dying fanatics . the ending was changed due to time constraints caused by the film already having taken too long to shoot by the time the scene was reached .
but the shock , for me , was seeing how one particular element of the film now appears fortified . fletcher , as nurse ratched , has often been regarded as the villain of the piece but in fact her steady - eyed , level - headed performance produces an effect far more complicated and real than this might suggest . ratched is steadfast in her belief that what she is doing is right — that in denying the men their freedoms , and curbing their independence , even in reducing billy to a gibbering mess just as he seems at his most lucid , she is absolutely doing the best she can for her patients’ welfare . it’s a fantastic idea , faultlessly executed , which makes the film knottier and also more enduring . how hokey
ken kesey ' s 1962 book , and the film version released 13 years later , are both credited with irreparably tarnishing the image of electroconvulsive therapy , or ect , and quickening its departure from mainstream mental health care .
together , they worked on secret plans for earhart to become the first woman and the second person to fly solo the atlantic . on may 20th , 1932 , five years to the day after lindbergh , she took off from harbor grace , newfoundland , to paris . strong north winds , icy conditions , and mechanical problems plagued the flight and forced her to land in a pasture near londonderry , ireland . “after scaring most of the cows in the neighborhood , ” she said , “i pulled up in a farmer’s back yard . ” as word of her flight spread , the media surrounded her , both overseas and in the united states . president herbert hoover presented earhart with a gold medal from the national geographic society . congress awarded her the distinguished flying cross - the first ever given to a woman . at the ceremony , vice president charles curtis praised her courage , saying she displayed “heroic courage and skill as a navigator at the risk of her life . ” earhart felt the flight proved that men and women were equal in “jobs requiring intelligence , coordination , speed , coolness , and willpower . ”
the film was shot on location at oregon state mental hospital and dozens of the patients at the hospital were drafted in as extras . somewhat predictably , this didn ' t always run smoothly and on one infamous occasion a patient jumped out of a third - floor window which had been left open by the film crew . the following day , a waggish newspaper ran the headline :

. it isn’t quite the film i remembered it to be . of course , the plot is intact : adapted by bo goldman and laurence hauben from ken kesey’s novel , it shows the liberating chaos visited on one ward in a mental institution by randall p . mcmurphy ( jack nicholson ) , who is transferred there from prison for psychiatric evaluation . the ward is in the grip of the genteel , quietly tyrannical nurse ratched ( louise fletcher ) , and the anti - establishment mcmurphy loosens that grip—or tries to—by nudging his timid fellow patients toward outright rebellion .

the film bears some slight similarities to prince caspian : beyond taking place in a magical world with talking animals and unique ways to get there , the main villain is a king ( whereas the main villain of the first film is a witch ) who conquers the land while the main character ( s ) is gone , and unsure as to whether they will return . also , princess ozma and prince caspian are both the rightful rulers who must be restored to the throne .

this misconception probably occurs because christabella quotes a part of revelation 20 from the bible , their symbol looks like a crucifix , and their history of witch hunting is reminiscent of the salem witch trials . in addition , in the game canon , order member jennifer carroll was burned by christians , and she was also burned by the cultists in the film canon . however , the film ' s original script suggests the cult is a religion known as manichaeism , and christabella openly insults christian beliefs .

zoey approaches eddie for help . “you need to do something , ” she urges him . but when she discovers jackie’s dog in the back room of the dispensary , she knows the jig is up . “where did jackie go ? ” she asks . eddie shrugs , “where she had to . ” she cries , they embrace , and zoey , crestfallen , asks akilitus for a letter of recommendation for her nurse practitioner application . rosa , a peppy new temp nurse arrives , and the timing could not be worse . in a scene that harkens back to zoey’s first day on the job , she curtly instructs rosa , “sit there . don’t talk too much . watch what i do . ”
several elements of the second oz book , the marvelous land of oz were worked into the film ' s plot . jack pumpkinhead , the gump , the powder of life , and the scarecrow being king are from land . mombi is also from it . she was reassigned to princess langwidere ' s roles , but retained some of her land ones as well . for instance , she keeps ozma captive . in the original book , she is tip ' s ( ozma transformed into a boy ) evil witch guardian . and she also owns powder of life which is later stolen by the protagonist . also in the film , the people in the emerald city are turned to stone . though the nome king does this in the film , it could be a reference to how old mombi planned to do so to tip .
the disney studio regime changed twice during the making of the film . by the time it was ready for audiences , michael eisner and jeffrey katzenberg were in charge of the company . kurtz later complained that their new regime abandoned the film , neglecting to promote it effectively , since it was not one of their projects . ( still , kurtz recognized that the main problem with it was its grim and
morose
tone . ) it cost $ 24 , 000 , 000 to make , but earned only half that sum at the box office .
whatever the film’s reception , it will stand as a testament to sheer cinematic doggedness , as well as the public’s perpetual fascination with earth’s nearest planetary neighbour . edgar rice burroughs’ john carter holds the record for the longest time languishing in what’s known in the movie business as “development hell” — more than 80 years . he may not be as familiar as tarzan , but from print to comics to film , john carter of mars has withstood decades of rejection and false starts before , finally , he gets his chance to stand among the screen’s popular heroes .
the majority of the film ' s plot comes from ozma of oz . dorothy washing ashore in a chicken coop , the wheelers , a head - swapping princess , tik - tok , the nome king , the ornament room , and ozma are all culled from the book .
the book ' s publication contributed to a backlash against the entire psychiatric treatment system in the us in the 1960s . huge , spirit - crushing state institutions – like the oregon facility later depicted in the film – began reducing their excessive resident numbers and granting patients more rights .
in the story , r . p . mcmurphy – played by jack nicholson in the film – is a misbehaved convict who ends up in an asylum after faking insanity to escape hard labour while in prison . like other patients in the facility , he finds himself subjected to ect .
normally long days on film or tv sets either on location or in studios ( including , but not restricted , to shepperton studios , where we are based ) . the film unit medic ' s role is obviously to ensure that professional help is always on hand without delay in the event of accidents and emergencies om set ( particularly with stunts , visual effects or other high risk filming
moments
) however we also provide day to day primary care for cast & crew members to ensure that they can receive assistance with minor illnesses or ailments or injuries on set .
eagle - eyed viewers will catch the word “flammable” scrawled across the back of the truck , yet when it careens off the cliff at the end of the movie it doesn’t go boom . the studio wanted a big explosion , but the director wanted a slower demise for his film’s villain .
a maudlin tale of nurse joan leslie who ' s frantically in love with helicopter pilot arthur franz . romance has its ups and downs before she finally forgets her infatuation in favor of loyalty to her service career . . . . of questionable taste are several sequences where atrocities of chinese and north korean communists against united nations troops are unreeled

indeed , the film is in many ways a piece with its predecessor . they share a similar approach , a similar frank , uncomfortable sexuality , a similar matter - of - fact violence . there are certain thematic concerns in common too , although we’ll leave you to figure those out for yourself . it’s probably a more accessible film than its predecessor , accessible being a very relative term here . it plays up the jet - black comedy , while retaining the humanism — as strange a world as lanthimos creates , he genuinely cares for his characters , even as they do incomprehensible things .
mcmurphy’s deck of dirty playing cards appears at critical moments of the film to signify his rebellion against authority . he makes martini his first disciple when he flashes the pictures of naked women in his face , leading him away from the sedate game of pinochle . in his first group therapy session , he shuffles the cards defiantly while nurse ratched is speaking . mcmurphy uses the cards most effectively during his evaluation by the doctors . as they conclude , dr . spivey asks him if he has any questions , and he flashes a card at the doctors , thus undermining their authority over him , openly demonstrating his contempt , and privileging raw , sensual experience over the regular , ordered life in the hospital .
the two lines at the hospital , in which dorothy asks ozma about the screaming she was hearing , and her saying that dr . worley ' s patients were damaged and locked in the cellar . this could cause some confusion among those who only saw it on tv as to why they were trying to escape from there in the first place , and as to why nurse wilson was arrested at the end .
very typical of the 90 ' s action films , way over the top with lots of expensive things being blown up and everybody getting an ass - kicking . corny , predictable and a disappointing re - visit to a film that was better off having just been watched at it ' s release .
the snakerama gas station seen in the film also appears in spielberg ' s 1979 world war ii comedy , 1941 , with actress lucille benson again appearing as the proprietor . the two elderly people weaver tries to flag down in a car also appear as helpless motorists in close encounters of the third kind .
the following year the rights reverted to disney , which decided to take the plunge . academy award - winning animation director andrew stanton of finding nemo fame was assigned to helm his first live - action film . pulitzer prize - winning author michael chabon was hired to revise the script , with lead roles going to canada’s taylor kitsch as john carter , lynn collins as dejah thoris and willem dafoe as alien warrior tars tarkas . shooting commenced in january , 2010 , in london and utah , ending in july of that year . by the film’s release date , post - production will have taken more than 18 months .
amid a minor revival in ect in the early 1990s , the new york times noted that thanks to the film ' s memorable images ,
in the public mind ' shock therapy ' has retained the tarnished image given it by ken kesey ' s novel : dangerous , inhumane and over - used
.
in the hospital dispensary , jackie has a heart - to - heart with eddie . “if i’m not a nurse , i’m no one , ” she woefully tells him . but , in her mind , diversion is just not an option : “and all the shame that goes with it ? and the pay cut ? ” her only solution , she believes , is to “go back in time . ” she asks eddie for help .

opens on screens across north america . however the actual film is received , it’s a safe bet that few know about captain carter’s long , sometimes - torturous route to the multiplex — an odyssey itself close to a century old , and as full of as many twists and turns as one of burroughs’ barsoomian adventures .
throughout the film ,
brahms
is spelled
brahams
. it is unknown if this is an intentional artistic choice or an error . ironically , cybil bennett is the only one to actually say the word
brahams
in the whole movie while her last name is misspelled in the promotional newspaper for the movie .
on this day in 1993 , philadelphia , starring the actor tom hanks in the first major hollywood movie to focus on the subject of acquired immune deficiency syndrome ( aids ) , opens in theaters . in the film , hanks played andrew beckett , a gay attorney who is unjustly fired from his job because he . . .
alessa was shown to be in possession of vast paranormal powers , including an inhuman scream she would emit when in pain . while she still has unnatural powers in the final version of the film , it is severely downplayed , and the first time she is shown exhibiting her powers is when she breaks the chain while being burned .
film unit work offers a lot of variety and takes you to some interesting places not normally accessible to the public . it has its exciting moments - but there is a lot of
standing by
and filming is generally a slow process with lots of repetition . its certainly not all mingling with the stars ( who generally keep themselves to themselves ) or especially glamorous . photos & autographs are a big
no - no
that will end your film unit career very abruptly , even social media
commenting
on productions being filmed is normally prohibited - so even if you do work with your favourite artistes , you wont have anything to show for it !

mahmood was a comedian par excellence . he also used to produce and direct sensible movies in 1970s . janta havaaldar is one of his most ambitious productions as he cast the reigning super star rajesh khanna as the lead hero in the movie . he also cast himself , ashok kumar , hema malini and yogita bali in the movie . the movie has excellent music by rajesh roshan which is the positive factor in the movie . the story is good , narrative is good and the performance of the superstar is great . mahmood himself has done some loud acting . the movie is watchable but could have done without a no of scenes and songs which drag the movie . it is a must watch for rajesh khanna and mahmood fans . the music of the movie will be liked - some songs are even hummed today .
