with all the additional firepower at their disposal , the warriors don ' t need curry to go off for 40 points , but they need him to play closer to his form from the first three games .

in each of the first three games , the warriors started fast , leading by an average of six points at the end of the first quarter . game 4 , however , was all cavs from the jump , as lebron james and co . took a 16 - 5 lead after the first three minutes , and led 49 - 33 after the first quarter .
i ' ve used gradual and fake tan for as long as i can remember . i can honestly say that three warriors by far , is the best , most natural colour i ' ve ever come across : ) : ) : )

so the warriors need to make sure the first quarter is more like the first three games . if they let the cavs , who will be boosted by their performance friday night , to get off to another great start , cleveland ' s confidence will continue to build .
the cavs haven’t shown the ability to force the warriors’ supporting cast to beat them . allowing golden state’s stars to shine has been their undoing .

sif and the warriors three arrive to earth
the warriors three listened as thor gave a speech before they went to battle the marauders . [ 2 ] they , alongside with lady sif , assisted thor in the ensuing battle of vanaheim , killing many marauders . once the battle over , hogun decided to stay with his people while volstagg and fandral returned to asgard , where they later helped thor when the god of thunder decided to release loki in order to stop malekith . [ 3 ]
the reigning two - time league mvp was spectacular in the first three games , averaging 28 . 7 points , 9 . 7 rebounds and 9 assists , while shooting better than 48 percent from 3 - point range , continuing what has been the best postseason run of his career .
following odin ' s death , hela sought to invade asgard and arrived at the bifrost bridge where volstagg and fandral were both present . they tried to stop the goddess of death , but she quickly overpowered them with her necroswords and killed them both . after hela seized the throne of asgard , hogun led a company of einherjar to arrest her , but hela once again easily got rid of her enemies and killed hogun , thus putting a complete end to the warriors three . [ 4 ]
the other problem for golden state when it slides durant and green to center is the lack of perimeter shooting in its supporting cast . ian clark is the only role player for golden state that cleveland has to worry about from beyond the 3 - point line , and he has been a huge liability on defense in this series . while curry has held his own whenever the cavs have involved him in ball screens , clark has been a sieve , with the worst net rating ( minus - 4 . 5 ) of any player in the warriors rotation in the first three games of the finals . golden state doesn’t have any true 3 - and - d players off the bench , and cleveland was able to take advantage of that through the first three quarters of game 3 .
in a game where two teams combine to take 77 3s , the team that knocks down more open shots from deep will have a huge advantage . golden state went 16 - for - 33 from 3 in game 3 , while cleveland shot only 12 - for - 44 . love and irving were 1 - for - 14 from 3 , and neither one is good enough on defense to make up for not punishing the warriors from deep . lebron has been incredible throughout the finals , averaging 32 points , 12 rebounds , and 10 assists on 55 . 4 percent shooting , but cleveland’s other two all - stars have alternated great offensive performances . the cavs need all three clicking at the same time if they are going to steal a game from the warriors .
the patriotic chinese action film
wolf warriors 2
cruised past hollywood competitor
the fate of the furious
at china ' s box office last week , making it the country ' s top - grossing movie this year .
the cavs gave the warriors their best shot in game 3 of the nba finals , and it still wasn’t enough . cleveland bounced back wednesday with a much better effort on its home court . in the first two games , the only time the cavs held a lead in either game was in the first quarter ; on wednesday they were in control for most of the night . they were up by six points with a little over three minutes left in the fourth quarter . all they needed was one more stop or one more basket , but they couldn’t get either , instead giving up an 11–0 run that essentially ended the series . no team has ever come back from a 3–0 deficit in the finals , and it’s hard to see the warriors losing one game , much less four in a row .
the cavs had several chances to put the warriors away , including an open 3 from kyle korver off a drive from james immediately before durant’s game - winning basket . for as good as lebron and kyrie were wednesday , they both came up short in the final minute . andre iguodala stripped lebron and prevented him from getting off a shot when the cavs were down three with 12 seconds left ; kyrie missed an almost impossible step - back 3 in the possession before . the parallels with irving’s game winner in game 7 of last year’s finals were inescapable , except this time he had thompson rather than curry guarding him :
three warriors tells the story of a 13 - year - old native american boy , michael , who returns to the reservation to see his aging grandfather . having lived the past seven years in the tough slums of a big city , the boy has lost a sense of his origins and has little use for the teachings of the old man . however , after several adventures in the wilderness together , michael learns to value his culture , the
ways of the warrior ,
and grows to love his grandfather . the film was entirely shot on location in oregon in the lush forests of mt . hood and in the village of simnasho on the warm springs indian reservation .
almost everything went right for the cavs . lebron james and kyrie irving put together incredible offensive performances reminiscent of the last few games of the 2016 finals , with lebron going for a near triple - double of 39 points , 11 rebounds , and nine assists while kyrie chipped in 38 points on 16 - of - 29 shooting . kevin love’s shot wasn’t falling , but he had one of his best defensive performances against the warriors , with 13 rebounds and six steals . their role players were much better at home as well , most notably j . r . smith , who had 16 points on 5 - of - 10 shooting after scoring only three points in the first two games .

the warriors went small and benched their centers in each of the last two finals , and they would almost certainly have to do something similar if the cavs were able to put any pressure on them in this series . golden state was minus - 7 in the 30 - plus minutes one of its centers was on the floor in game 3 , as zaza pachulia wasn’t able to make cleveland pay for not guarding him , while javale mcgee and david west struggled to hold their own on defense . the warriors are better with durant and green at center , but they might wear down if they’re forced to bang with the bigger cleveland players the entire game .
a perfect postseason run was within the warriors ' grasp . all they had to do was win game 4 in cleveland to complete a historic championship run at 16 - 0 . instead , the cavaliers held their ground with a record offensive display to win , 137 - 116 , and send the series back to oakland for game 5 .
wolf warriors 2 ,
directed by and starring well - known martial artist wu jing , features a chinese special operations soldier who stumbles into an unspecified african country to defend chinese interests and save dozens of lives threatened by western mercenaries . alongside wu , it also stars frank grillo , celina jade , wu gang and zhang han .
thompson has always been a fairly limited player on offense , so it’s hard for him to make much of an impact when he’s not generating extra possessions on the offensive boards . the warriors have done a great job of keeping a body on him all series long , and they have forced him to be a playmaker by trapping the ball handler whenever he sets a screen . thompson can make basic reads on the move , but he’s not capable of making the split - second decisions necessary to take advantage of the tiny cracks in the warriors defense when they are rotating . he has to find love spotting up in the corner when he gets the ball rolling to the basket in this sequence , not try to go up through two defenders :
as odin had previously fallen into his odinsleep , loki took the throne . he refused to take back thor ' s banishment . disappointed , they convinced heimdall to allow them and sif to go to earth . they arrived there and casually walked through the streets , being seen by s . h . i . e . l . d . agents garrett and cole , until they found thor inside a building . loki sent the destroyer to attack and kill all of the asgardians on earth . they all worked together to fight the destroyer , but they could not defeat it . thor sacrificed himself before the destroyer to protect his friends and proved to be worthy . he received mjølnir and was able to defeat it . thor , along with the team and lady sif , went back to asgard . the warriors three and lady sif stayed behind to help the injured heimdall , while thor continued on to defeat loki .
one of the biggest differences for the cavs in this year’s finals is how ineffective tristan thompson has been . he’s gone from averaging a double - double in the 2016 finals to barely being able to stay on the floor in 2017 , averaging 2 . 7 points and 3 . 7 rebounds a game on 36 . 4 percent shooting . cleveland’s only chance in this series was to dominate on the glass , and it’s been outrebounded by 19 in the past two games . maybe the most mind - blowing statistic from these finals is that after three games , curry has grabbed 18 more rebounds than thompson has .
durant was the best player on the floor in the first two games of the finals , but he was relatively quiet through the first three quarters of game 3 , settling for a lot of tough jumpers and not making as big of a defensive impact . however , with the game on the line , durant put the ghosts of some poor fourth quarters in last season’s western conference finals behind him , scoring seven points in the final 1 : 15 of the game and effectively wrapping up the finals mvp award . the kill shot came with 50 seconds left , when durant pulled down a defensive rebound , brought the ball up the court , and drilled a pull - up 3 in lebron’s face :
green scored only eight points on 3 - of - 9 shooting , but he was plus - 14 in 33 minutes wednesday , by far the best rating of anyone on the warriors roster . he’s the connective glue that holds everything else together , and he did a little bit of everything in game 3 , going for a near triple - double with eight rebounds and seven assists while also being everywhere on defense . he’s the front - runner for the defensive player of the year award for a reason : golden state’s defensive rating in the finals skyrockets from 95 when he’s in to 114 when he’s out .
after playing like he was on the back of a milk carton in oracle , the cavs’ mercurial shooting guard regained the form he had showed during most of the playoffs in game 3 . cleveland just doesn’t have enough firepower to hang with golden state when smith isn’t knocking down 3 - point shots , and he seemed to shrink from the moment in the first two games , giving the warriors defense a free pass by hesitating on open looks . he went 5 - for - 10 from deep wednesday , and he has to continue making shots like this for the cavs to have any chance in game 4 :
cleveland’s defense , both off the ball and in transition , has been terrible the entire series , and the team has given up way too many easy baskets to the warriors . the cavs’ margin for error without lebron in the game isn’t big enough to give up a wide - open layup to shaun livingston on a back cut . they haven’t played good enough team defense to consistently force the ball to golden state’s supporting cast on the perimeter , which would give them their best chance of winning . there’s no excuse for giving curry any space to shoot when he’s playing next to nonshooters like iguodala , livingston , and rookie patrick mccaw :
the flip side of resting your stars is that it forces you to dig deeper in your rotation , and kerr’s belief in strength in numbers nearly cost his team the game . every active player on the golden state roster appeared in game 3 , and 10 played at least four minutes . ( mccaw was six seconds off . ) role players tend to play worse on the road , and that was the case for the warriors bench wednesday . the cavs did a much better job of finding their weak spots on both sides of the ball , and it’s something they can build on in game 4 if kerr doesn’t shorten his rotation .
the warriors have distributed offensive responsibility much more efficiently than the cavs have in the finals . to win at this level of the game , everyone in the rotation has to know the types of shots they are supposed to take within the flow of the offense . iman shumpert has consistently taken difficult shots off the dribble without success in the finals , and he took two egregious ones when lebron was resting wednesday : a missed step - back jumper with a hand in his face , and an open 3 early in the shot clock . shumpert is one of cleveland’s best perimeter defenders , but he played only 12 minutes in game 3 because lue couldn’t trust him to understand his role in the offense :
if there was one lingering question about golden state , it was how the team would fare in the closing minutes of a tight game . before wednesday , the warriors had won by double digits in every game in the postseason except game 3 in the first round against the blazers and game 1 of the western conference finals against the spurs , and the latter came with kawhi leonard sitting out for most of the second half with a season - ending ankle injury . the cavs had beaten them by one point on christmas day , with lebron and kyrie showing much more synergy in crunch time of that game than curry and durant , who were still figuring out how to share the ball and play with each other .
the biggest issue for draymond in the series has been staying on the floor , as he’s averaging 4 . 7 fouls per game in only 31 minutes . none of his five fouls in game 3 were necessary : he bumped smith while guarding him 30 feet from the basket , set an illegal screen on shumpert when he was ball - hawking klay thompson in the backcourt , reached on a drive from richard jefferson that was going nowhere , knocked lebron out of bounds on a fast break , and committed an over - the - back on jefferson while going for an offensive rebound . discretion is the better part of valor sometimes , and green is too important for the warriors to take himself out of the game by making plays like this :
just as important is smith’s effort on defense , which was sorely lacking in the first two games . he’s the best 3 - and - d player on the cavs roster , and he’s the only member of their wing rotation who can hold his own against his man one - on - one , while also being enough of a threat to force the warriors to guard him when he’s off the ball . smith still gave up points off the dribble to golden state’s stars , but he was much more active off the ball . kerr loves to run thompson and curry off multiple screens , so smith has to communicate with his teammates while also sprinting all over the floor to contest their shot . he did a much better job wednesday than he did in the first two games :
golden state didn’t get much from its supporting cast in game 3 , but its stars were so good that it didn’t matter . kevin durant , steph curry , and klay thompson combined to go 15 - for - 27 from behind the 3 - point line , with many of those looks coming with a hand right in their face . the warriors seemed to hit a big shot every time the cavs threatened to pull away , and they were able to keep it close until the final few minutes , when their advantage in offensive firepower and late - game execution proved decisive . they are now only one game away from going 16–0 through the playoffs , a run that would put them squarely in the conversation for the best team of all time . and when people talk about this golden state team , game 3 will be the signature one they remember .

: going away it the first lesson we ' re taught and the last we learn .
this film focuses on an issue that is rarely addressed in the film making industry ; the struggle of todays native americans . the film lets us into the life of a young sioux indian boy , who lives in the big city with his mother . he hardly knows his father who passed away when he was very young . he is now a troublesome teenager who has a problem shaping his identity and denies his native american heritage . in an effort to help the son , the mother takes him to meet his grandfather on the reservation . at first he finds the grandfather and his way of life outdated and refuses to befriend him . the grandfather who has a great amount of patience and wisdom finds a way to bond with the grandson . he buys him a horse that is limp , and tells the boy that the horse can be healed . if he turns to the ways of his forefathers and makes a pilgrimage to the sacred grounds the horse will be healed . the boy , who at first is suspicious , soon comes to feel attached to the horse and the lifestyle of his forefathers . thru the process he gets to learn about his own family . the fate of his deceased father and the lifestyle and wisdom of his grandfather . its a lovely film that i can highly recommend . the film is shot at a beautiful , scenic nature of the american midwest . and the actors do their utmost to bring life into this wonderful story .

these products are amazing . i used the mousse for the first time last week - not only did it give me an instant “professio
g” tan , but the tan has continued to last really well all week . i’m
not sure if i’ll ever need to pay for a spray tan again to get the look . i may even get through a whole winter not looking pasty !
zing . . . no redness , no itching just a perfect tan that everyone had said looks so natural ( even though i went the darkest i could possibly go ) .
i am usually not a fake tan person . . i am very pale and very afraid of being orange and have had some fake tan fails in the past . i tried out the gradual tan after much convincing
r would have even looked at it otherwise - i have found that it is super easy to apply , i ' ve had no streaks or orange patches and it smells and feels greats so it ' s like a bit of a pamper each time . personally
. i like that i can choose this or choose to use it more if i want more of a summer tanned look . can highly recommend .
r and soaks well in to the skin and best of all the colour is so natural . i will be definitely
singing your products from the rooftops . thanks so much for coming in to my life �
riors i couldn ' t wipe the smile off my face . even before personally
trying the mouse instant tan i thought this product is way to good to be true . i have been following the journey of this brand and am constantly
amazed ! ! ! this product not only smells great , is good for your skin but also helped clear up any blemishes i got during hormonal times . it actually helps clear acne with the amazing natural disinfecta
nt from the tasmanian manuka honey used in the tan . well that and i am sure all of the other ingredient
s . i am yet to purchase a scrub or developer cream style blend but will be sure to try soon . thank you i am very grateful for your business and how ethical it is . xoxo
my search is over for the perfect tan ! these products are amazing ! i am terrible with my timing for putting on tan and i can sneak the gradual on and go out without the tell tale smell . the colour is
fab . the spray tan is fab . my skin is so happy after using this . and being organic , toxic free and helping to provide people with access to clean water . . . well i ' m sold !
natural products this side of asgard hands down . its great on my godly asgardian sensetive skin and doesn ' t inflame my acne etc like other products that claim to be gentle do . truly thorsome products and strongly recommend . - thor .

one of the reasons golden state was so much better in crunch time is that steve kerr was able to give his stars breathers over the course of the game , a luxury tyronn lue didn’t have . lebron was plus - 7 in 46 minutes in game 3 , and the two minutes and change he spent on the bench were too much for the cavs to overcome . cleveland had irving and love on the floor for most of that stretch , and it was still minus - 10 . while lebron has been far from perfect in the finals , his presence on the floor still makes life much easier for his teammates , and the mistakes they make on both sides of the ball are magnified without him .
on the other side of the ball , golden state has negated one of his biggest strengths as a defender by repeatedly attacking him off the dribble whenever he switches a screen and guards either curry or durant . they are two of the best isolation scorers in the nba , and even thompson has little chance of guarding them when he’s left on an island . one of durant’s baskets in the final two minutes came when he got thompson switched on him . the cleveland center is doing the best he can , but this is just too easy with the game on the line :
an earlier version of this piece stated that cleveland was minus - 10 in the two minutes lebron james was off the floor in game 3 ; the team was minus - 12 overall without james , but minus - 10 in the portion that kyrie irving and kevin love were on the floor without james .
kristin cavallari , reality star legend and wife of jay cutler , has a new tv show . her husband is also on it .
lebron wasn’t the first great to orchestrate a move to the lakers . jerry west , elgin baylor , and bob ryan on how the trade of one of the best players in basketball history presaged the great era of superstar movement we are living through today .
forget neymar , messi , and ronaldo . england , belgium , and france have all made the semifinals with offenses built around their center backs .
hbo’s newest big - name series—starring amy adams and patricia clarkson—has the hallmarks and pedigree of a blockbuster show . it’s also quite unsettling .

goodbye uncle tom ( italian : addio zio tom ) is a 1971 italian film directed by mondo film documentary directors gualtiero jacopetti and franco prosperi with music by riz ortolani .

the film is based on true events in which the filmmakers explore antebellum america , using period documents to examine in graphic detail the racist ideology and degrading conditions faced by africans under slavery .

because of the use of published documents and materials from the public record , the film labels itself a documentary , though all footage is re-staged using actors .

though the film is presented as a documentary , it is more of a historical drama or docudrama because of its fantasy framing device of the directors travelling back in time combined with the re-staging of historical events .

being that the taboos depicted in it are usually the stuff of exploitation films , goodbye uncle tom is often accused of being categorically exploitative . this claim is not entirely without merit , but it represses the film’s more high - minded goals . all of the “mysteries of life” ( birth , death , sex – including homosexuality and pedophilia – and bodily functions ) are herein presented without inhibition , and these images assault the viewer . goodbye uncle tom strips away the expository narration of documentary cinema and the narrative justifications of scripted cinema , effectively leaving the viewer to comprehend these images without familiarly conventional means of detachment . it is a smoother variant of the disorienting “shock cut” from mondo cane ; rather than jumping from the innocuous to the disturbing , goodbye uncle tom strengthens these images by making them more “real” via the removal of the safeguards ( comic relief , brevity ) of their earlier works .
instead of retreating to safe ground , jacopetti and prosperi jumped into treacherous waters with 1971′s goodbye uncle tom ( addio zio tom ) . the film follows a 20th century italian film crew that travels back in time to visit a 19th century american slave plantation . the crew documents plantation life from the perspective of both the slaves and the slave owners . real events are depicted in naked bloody detail , including the middle passage by which slaves were transported from africa to the united states . most of goodbye uncle tom was filmed in haiti with the permission of dictator françois “papa doc” duvalier . dozens , if not hundreds , of haitians appeared as slaves in the film .

by abandoning their mondo cycle , jacopetti and prosperi created one of cinema’s most challenging and complex works . it is one that has been largely ignored by film academics , usually only garnering a mention for what is seen as its “exploitive” content . this could possibly be due to the fact that , as with slavery itself , goodbye uncle tom is a difficult subject to discuss , as it examples worst aspects of human nature , and forces us face the discomforting contents head on . jacopetti and prosperi have been praised for their stylish and influential documentaries , but goodbye uncle tom is perhaps their greatest achievement—if nothing else , an incendiary cinematic experience that has yet to be equaled .

you probably should not see addio zio tom ( or farewell uncle tom or goodbye uncle tom as it is often translated ) . it is a vile , cruel movie , a film that is exploitative in ways that will make even the most hardened connoisseur of envelope - obliterating cinema feel sick and violated . it is a film that feels like true evil , a film that makes the viewer complicit in its atrocities . it is also an extraordinarily well - made film , an almost virulently effective film and a movie that was made , the directors claim , to spread an anti - racist message .

[ 22 ] kael deduced that the film arose from the directors’ “porno fantasies . ” [ 23 ] american racist provocateur david duke held similar views about the film albeit for entirely different reasons . he claimed that goodbye uncle tom was part of a jewish plot—the owners of cannon were jewish—to incite black people to riot and kill whites .

jacopetti’s influence was not limited to mockumentaries . arguably , the ascendancy of “reality television” can be traced back to mondo cane . modern genre films also owe him a great debt . cannibal holocaust , blair witch project and other numerous films that embrace the “found - footage” formula are direct descendents of mondo cane . astute filmgoers may have noticed that nicolas winding refn’s fabulous drive contains a reference to goodbye uncle tom . refn , who is an avowed student of genre films , uses riz ortolani’s song “my love” to score a pivotal scene in the film . the way in which refn matches the track to the scene’s emotional core is ingenious and reflects a keen understanding of the way the music was originally used in goodbye uncle tom .

determined to prove their racial liberalism , the filmmakers thought they had another great idea : as prosperi said , “why don’t we do mandingo as a documentary ? ” kyle onstott’s 1957 novel about sex , violence and slavery on an alabama plantation would become a hollywood movie in 1975 , but jacopetti and prosperi got there first and went further . addio zio tom , shown in a shortened american cut as goodbye uncle tom , borrowed the time - traveling doc style of the cbs show you are there , but in scope and ambition it was one of the boldest of all mockumentaries , and one of the earliest ( after woody allen’s take the money and run ) .

for his next piece , last supper in uncle tom ' s cabin / the promised land ( 1990 ) , jones decided to make a conscious shift away from the multicultural partnership that had dominated his work for 17 years and explore his own , particular african - american heritage . at the heart of this exploration was the novel by harriet beecher stowe , often viewed as a constricting but potent cultural reference point .
i wanted to ask : was uncle tom a disgrace to his race ? was he a christ - like figure , a precursor of dr martin luther king ? is this high - minded propagandistic literary work of any relevance to us today ?
says jones .
anachronism stew : harriet beecher stowe and samuel cartwright both appear and discuss their most famous works— uncle tom ' s cabin ( 1852 ) and diseases and peculiarities of the negro race ( 1851 ) , respectively—and the setting seems to be the 1850s , but the international slave trade is prominently featured early in the film , despite having been banned in 1807 .
you probably shouldn’t see addio zio tom . but if you do , go in prepared to look straight into the abyss , right into the eyes of a grotesquerie just this side of a snuff film with a moral message . if the road to hell is paved with good intentions , every cinema in the underworld must be playing addio zio tom .
in 1964 , jacopetti and prosperi began work on goodbye africa ( africa addio ) . at the time , africa was transitioning from a colonial chess set into a continent of independent nations . as the colonialists exited the country , a massive struggle for political power and natural resources ensued . jacopetti travelled africa with a small a film crew in order to capture the events on cameras .
some of the most hotly contested debates in american literary history have surrounded stowe ' s monumental work . in the antebellum years , the controversy focused primarily on her antislavery arguments and her depiction of the south . the first american book to sell more than a million copies , uncle tom ' s cabin was well received in the north , despite the arguments of some abolitionists who felt she was too lenient ; however , southern reviewers accused her of slander , and dozens of
anti - tom
novels soon appeared . after the civil war , white critics in the north and south , for the most part , came to agree with stowe ' s position on slavery , but many took issue with her presentation of african - american characters , claiming that they were depicted in too positive a manner . in the post - world war ii years , however , the opposite view prevailed . reviewers such as african - american novelist james baldwin found in stowe ' s portrayal of tom a negative stereotype of servility and impotence . while

has remained a pejorative term , several scholars since the mid - 1980s have vigorously defended both the political message and the artistic merit of the novel . largely through the efforts of feminist and historically based critics who have focused on stowe ' s attention to the domestic culture of her nineteenth - century female audience , uncle tom ' s cabin has once again become the subject of serious academic study .
but edited back in for the fantastic fest audience , that last reel makes farewell uncle tom ’s confrontational intentions more pointed and clear . in the era of the black lives matter movement , archival footage of police forces brutalizing african americans intercut with scenes of civil war re - enactors jovially playing dress up feels not so much dated and incendiary , but provocatively current .
the original cut of goodbye uncle tom features a fifteen - minute introduction focusing on the american racial unrest of the late 60s and early 70s . this opening sequence reveals that part of the filmmaker’s intent was to show how far blacks had progressed—or regressed—since the days of slavery . unfortunately , most of the introduction was removed and the narration was also completely redone . the resulting film is incoherent and muddled when compared to the original version . the sarcastic narration and riz ortolani’s cheerful music give the film a semi - comedic tone is at odds with the horrors portrayed on screen . the spectacular finale , which is one of the best endings in cinematic history , also seems out of place . it only truly makes sense when considered together with the opening sequence .
instead , jacopetti and prosperi were met with accusations of gross racism themselves . with good reason : shot in haiti with the help and blessing of then - dictator papa doc duvalier , farewell uncle tom was an exploitation movie made possible by the shameless exploitation of hundreds of locals—a film about the systematic dehumanizing of a people that subjected its cast to the same shocking acts it condemned .
in 1973 , jerry gross’ company cinemation industries re - released the film in the states under the name africa : blood and guts . 40 minutes were shaved from the film , including all traces of political context . this tampering turned the goodbye africa into an incoherent barrage of mayhem and murder that does a major disservice to the original film . jacopetti called the english version “a betrayal . ” [ 17 ]
in 2015 addio zio tom resonates in unexpected ways . we ' re in the midst of a new civil rights struggle , as the black lives matter movement has shined a spotlight on the continuing systemic inequalities facing black americans , as well as highlighting the vicious violence visited upon black citizens by the police apparatus of the country . the howl of rage on which addio zio tom ends , the baby bashing extremity of it , echoes in modern ears with stinging clarity . the nerve at which addio zio tom tugs is still incredibly raw , 40 years after its release .
uncle tom ' s cabin , the book that abraham lincoln reportedly claimed started the civil war , was one of the most widely read and profoundly influential works of the nineteenth century . its anti - slavery message , in direct response to the fugitive slave act of 1850 , provoked unprecedented levels of critical disagreement throughout the north and south , serving as a catalyst for sectional conflict . following the war and the end of slavery , the novel—and its numerous stage adaptations—continued to serve as a focal point for discussions of race in america well into the twentieth century . while usually recognized for its historical contributions , uncle tom ' s cabin has also played an important role in shaping american literature and is noted for its influence on many prominent writers , ranging from sarah orne jewett to richard wright and ishmael reed .
late in me nineteenth century harriet beecher stowe announced mat god wrote uncle tom ' s cabin ( 1852 ) . the novel by then seemed too monumental even to its author to have been imagined by one woman . earlier in her life , in contrast , stowe had no doubt mat she wrote the subversive book or mat she was inspired to write it , despite marital and household irritations , . . .
banned or severely cut in several countries , goodbye uncle tom in all its excess provoked ebert to a level of disgust that made his africa addio review seem mixed . “the vile little crud - squad of jacopetti and prosperi” has produced a “vomit - bag of racism and perversion - mongering… the most disgusting , contemptuous insult to decency ever to masquerade as a documentary . ” he called the employment of haiti’s poor in the film “cruel exploitation . if it is tragic that the barbarism of slavery existed in this country , is it not also tragic — and enraging — that for a few dollars the producers of this film were able to reproduce and reenact that barbarism ? ” if the film is recalled fondly today , it is for ortolani’s rapturous score ; the movie’s theme song , “oh my love , ” appears on the soundtrack of the new ryan gosling film drive .
the movie gloats over scenes of human degradation . and this time there isn ' t even the excuse of documentary ; every scene in this movie was specifically staged . unfortunately , jacopetti and prosperi have been able to find people willing to undergo the humiliation inflicted on them in
farewell uncle tom
; most of the blacks in the film are apparently africans forced by poverty and need to do these things for a few days ' pitiful wages .
a still from goodbye uncle tom adorns the front cover of mark goodall’s examination of mondo cinema sweet & savage . the scene in question shows three white men , rifles on their hips , posed for a photo next to a large pile of dead black men . the whites are slave hunters—the blacks , their quarry . the camera flashes . the “dead” slaves spring to life and run laughing into the surrounding brush , the trio of hunters following slowly behind , content that their charade will placate their benefactors . for the whites , truth has become malleable . they know that the visual image is more valuable than the lives of those in it ; shooting with the camera what they once would have shot with their guns . they have created an authentic scenario but one that is in reality mere smoke and mirrors , a new “truth” constructed out of clever fictions . nowhere else in the film are jacopetti and prosperi’s intentions more unmistakably or brilliantly communicated .
but farewell uncle tom also brilliantly juxtaposes images of unforgivable brutality with moments of beauty , making frequent use of a jarringly romantic theme by composer riz ortolani . ( refn later used the song , “oh my love , ” to underscore murder in his ryan gosling - starrer drive . ) the sympathetic camera occasionally meets eyes with unnamed slave characters and that track recurs to great emotional effect , wordlessly emphasizing the humanity beating inside the hearts and minds of the disenfranchised .
when the first installment of uncle tom ' s cabin appeared in the abolitionist magazine the national era in june 1851 , stowe had a modest reputation as a writer of didactic fiction , having published the mayflower , a collection of sentimental short stories and sketches . the daughter of a prominent presbyterian theologian , her income garnered from writing supplemented her preacher husband ' s paltry salary . stowe often claimed that the writing of her most famous work was aided by the hand of god , tracing its inspiration to a brunswick communion service in which she tried to imagine the death of a pious slave at the hands of a white master . following the tremendous success of the novel , stowe published a key to uncle tom ' s cabin ( 1853 ) , in which she defended the novel against southern critiques . although she continued to write prolifically for several more years , none of her later works achieved the success of her first novel .
bill t jones ranks among the world ' s most daring and controversial choreographers . his work has included some of the most challenging works in the modern repertoire , such as last supper at uncle tom ' s cabin in 1990 , which explored issues of race , religion and literary stereotyping , and the totemic still / here , which was famously branded
victim art
by the new yorker critic arlene croce , but is now widely accepted as one of the most powerful artistic comments on the aids crisis .
one of the true revelations of farewell uncle tom is the scope of its ambition . an early slice - of - life foray through a slave - trading post is staged with the vast grandeur of a grindhouse gone with the wind . hundreds of choreographed extras move through a slave auction where babies are sold by the pound , white nuns haggle over the price of a young boy , and nameless men and women are subjected to extreme degradation on the auction block—all while a jaunty period score plays in the background .
i saw goodbye uncle tom in a cinema in sydney in 1972 , and i would assess that if being released in 2011 , it would not get a film classification today and be shelved or banned . the entire purpose of this fake documentary about back slavery in the 19th century in america , is simply to show as much cruelty towards black men and women as possible . this is like xxx amistad or roots xxx but with extreme distressing gore and astonishing brutality . the two scenes that have stayed with me horribly for 40 years are of a baby being swung into a wall head first and its face smashed to bleeding pulp , and a row of black men having their front teeth knocked out with a chisel , one by one . these two scenes are two of many similar in a film that is a shopping list of cruel images thought up by the producers , not from any other source . so degrading and so bleak , this is a film that really ought to be destroyed . it serves no purpose other than depict bleeding crying distress meted out to young black people of varying ages .
uncle tom was a flop and an embarrassment , and the last of the jacopetti - prosperi collaborations . a feud between the two had simmered for years , but hit films and a shared view of the medium’s subversive possibilities kept them together . after they split , neither reached the heights of their early successes , and jacopetti returned to print journalism . but a movie career doesn’t need a happy or tragic ending to give it significance . once upon a time , jacopetti created a movie that altered , arguably liberated and certainly coarsened popular culture . he made the world mondo .
anyone thinking of checking this film out : be warned , words can not express what an awesomely brutal experience it is to sit through . i ' m a big fan of horror films , but nothing i ever saw came close to the feeling of revulsion this 30 plus year old film gave me . trust me , you will have to use the fast forward button on your remote control several times sitting through this one . a group of italian journalists goes back in time to america during the time of slavery and documents what they see . the viewer is spared no amount of detail as we are shown what it was like to travel aboard a slave ship , be sold in market as common livestock , be raped , tortured hunted and killed , and basically denied even the slightest bit of human empathy or compassion at every turn . while roots covered the same subject matter a whole lot better , it came nowhere near delivering the visceral reaction of this film . for that reason , i recommend people watch goodbye uncle tom . while by no means a great film , if society is truly never to forget the injustices and wrongs of the past , work like this is necessary viewing .
there are two things that make addio zio tom intriguing for the truly hardened viewer . for one , it is incredibly well - made . the movie puts you through the wringer , leaving you feeling dizzy and sick . many exploitation films presented horrors in a way that made them titillating or tantalizing , but addio zio tom truly repulses . sweaty and grungy and scorched by hate , the film feels so present and immediate that you want to reach through the screen to stop the torture . that alone makes it a work of cinema that matters , in its own strange way .
or as roger ebert wrote , “they have finally done it : made the most disgusting , contemptuous insult to decency ever to masquerade as a documentary . ” yet to be fair , one might point out that the “mockumentary” genre the film pioneers—watkins is the only filmmaker who comes to mind who previously described such a patently fabricated scenario , i . e . , one taking place before motion picture cameras were invented , as a “documentary”—was still an almost totally unfamiliar lexicon . ebert is arguably making a contemptuous insult to his readers’ intelligence by thinking anyone would take uncle tom’s claim to documentary at face value .
some of the footage in
africa addio
was apparently real , but not a lot of it . and the planned execution of a rebel in the congo was postponed for 24 hours so that jacopetti and prosperi could get there with their cameras and film the death . some money reportedly changed hands in that case . the film was racist and slanderous enough to provoke a public denunciation from arthur goldberg , then our un ambassador , but that did not prevent it from finding a booking here . and the whole distasteful history of these filmmakers was not enough to keep
farewell uncle tom
out of town .

with mondo movies everywhere , jacopetti and prosperi turned their attention to a new kind of mondo movie , a hybrid between documentary and fiction . the film was addio zio tom , an exploration of american slavery using actual historical records . the way they decided to make the film is almost hallucinatory in its strangeness : at the beginning of the movie a helicopter containing a time - traveling italian documentary crew lands on the front lawn of a plantation , looking to film the reality of slavery . that opening shot , scored to the gorgeous sounds of riz ortolani’s music , is absolutely beautiful and also horrifying in its wrong - heaedness . it is addio zio tom summed up .
addio zio tom was not a hit . roger ebert despised it , and pauline kael called it racist . but get this : so did david duke , who claimed the film was an incitement to get blacks to rise up against whites . somehow jacopetti and prosperi had managed to make a message movie that offended both progressives and racists . that alone is a certain kind of perverse accomplishment .
bloody and bruised by the farewell uncle tom experience , gualtiero jacopetti and franco prosperi took a different approach by creating a sprawling psychedelic version of voltaire’s candide . 1975′s mondo candido is a sprawling psychedelic version of an alejandro jodorowsky movie . cunégonde’s ravagement by dozens of armor - clad soldiers is visualized as a bawdy comedic skit . in a scene that predates mel brook’s history of the world part 2 , the inquisition is presented as a psychedelic busby berkeley dance routine . heretics dance their way into giant meat grinders while psychedelic rock music plays . despite the bizarre visual sense , the film is very faithful to the novel . the film stays surprisingly close to the original material . of course , scenes in which candide and his slave companion cacambo zip back - and - forth between modern day new york city , northern ireland , and israel are significant exceptions .

but more than that it’s the profound cognitive dissonance at the heart of addio zio tom that makes it fascinating in the modern day . i truly believe that jacopetti and prosperi were , as they later claimed , making an anti - racism movie , much as they believed africa addio was a critique of colonialism . these guys truly thought they were making a profound statement . addio zio tom is a real world example of how the best intentions can go apocalyptically awry , especially when those best intentions come from a condescending , patriarchal perspective . for all of the suffering and abuse jacopetti and prosperi show us they somehow never thought to bring us the humanity of the sufferers . the result is evil on celluloid ; while jacopetti denied any role in the execution of the rebel in africa addio there’s no question of his involvement in the depravity here , visited upon barely paid poverty - stricken haitians . even though there’s a lot of movie magic on display there is a sense of despair and humiliation coming from these people that seems beyond acting .
