the quintessential american film . robert altman ' s nashville is nothing less than flawless , tackling the messy ambition of america with dazzling energy and flourishing detail . every aspect was so exemplary and captivating that i was practically hugging my tv by the end of its rich and potent tapestry . breathtaking , human , and groundbreaking cinema ; nashville is fascinating because of its dissection of the world that it was created in .
opryland is now a mall . exit / in today opens to the front . east nashville , where altman recorded hal phillip walker ' s campaign monologue in the storied woodland studios , has challenged the rock block ' s hip cachet . today ' s schism between pop country and americana , inscribed onto the geographic territories of music row and east nashville , repeats the country / folk cleavage of altman ' s film .
when it comes to multi - story narratives , i will always consider jean renoir ( la regle du jeu ) to be the master , but altman ( nashville , short cuts ) and anderson ( magnolia ) are definitely up there . this film is an absolute delight .
like the city , altman ' s film is a lot to take in at first . a numbing 24 major characters traverse a wide array of nashville locations : then - tiny berry field airport ; the knotted highways strangling downtown ; vanderbilt hospital ; the grand ole opry house and the opryland theme park ; varied nightclubs , churches and private residences ; a wrecking yard ; the nashville auto speedway ; and ultimately centennial park .

if the
country
label had been promoted as a substitute for hillbilly , it also served to distinguish nashville music from the folk revival taking shape in northern cities . folk and country drew from a common musicological well but expressed very different political and cultural values , even though the boundaries were surprisingly permeable . johnny cash regularly made the pilgrimage from nashville to the newport folk festival , and bob dylan had recorded two seminal albums in nashville studios by 1974 .
and yet
nashville ,
with its scope , its narrative complexity , and its dead - on understanding of a country besotted with easy dreams of success , stuck in the american consciousness . that led to discussions between weintraub and altman about turning the film into a tv series , before weintraub concluded that they were movie people , not tv people , and that a film sequel was a more viable path .
but 40 years later ,
nashville
remains — a tribute to tewkesbury , altman and a brilliant cast , and to the confluence of watergate , the american bicentennial , and our unshakable penchant for plowing ahead , protected by our illusions . it is a film for the ages .

riddlehoover , who was born in bermuda and grew up in charleston , south carolina , moved to nashville ten years ago to attend watkins college of art , design , and film . “i had gone to a small arts high school , ” riddlehoover explained . “i looked at bigger schools in tempe and new york , but watkins , like my high school , was small and focused on the individual . that drew me [ to nashville ] . ”
like many young filmmakers , riddlehoover headed for los angeles after school . “i got out there and worked on a couple of projects , but , you know , it’s day and night . when i wasn’t busy with work , it was apparent that la wasn’t for me . nashville had become home to me . ” so riddlehoover returned to nashville and started working on some of his own projects . to date , most of his features have been filmed on site in nashville .
eventually , we realized that we have been on the same page with certain directors for so long we decided to join together and give a label to what we had been doing all along : fusic ( the perfect blend of film and music ) . since that time , hummingbird has engaged heavily in the film industry , both in the commercials world and in feature film . through a subsidiary of hummingbird , liberty films , we are presently in pre - production for the sequel to the classic film it ' s a wonderful life .
grand ole opry stalwart minnie pearl was , as usual , the epitome of southern diplomacy , noting at the premiere that the film was “very interesting . ” later , however , she would add that “the music was terrible” and also expressed disdain for the way the film portrayed the opry and the “plastic look” it gave the fans in attendance . webb pierce predicted altman would never return to nashville and that if he did , he would probably be hanged . other stars at the premiere , including dottie west and carl smith , were more complimentary of the film .

nashville was altman ' s first ensemble film , with no single main character or main story line , a style he employed with great success in future films such as short cuts and gosford park . fabulous ensemble cast here , and great photography . i am subtracting a star however , because with the exception of the two keith carradine songs , the film is chocked full of really bad music , deliberately bad and lots of it .
made in 1975 , nashvile is considered to be one of robert altman’s masterpieces . but how was the film received upon its initial response ?

hallmarks of altman ' s aural and visual style are evident everywhere - overlapping dialogue , life - like improvised roles and ensemble acting , multiple means of communication to connect the characters ( phone calls , tape recordings , radio and tv , and p . a . announcements ) , a continuously moving camera , long takes , and imaginative sound and film editing . the bicentennial film was the recipient of five academy award nominations - best director , best picture , best supporting actress ( 2 ) ( ronee blakely and lily tomlin ) , with its only win for best song (

, sung by keith carradine ) . when backing from united artists fell apart , altman was able to find independent financing for the film through paramount and abc . but the film was so long that there was talk of releasing it as two features : nashville red and nashville blue .

tennessee has a built - in creative industry that stretches from the stages of memphis to the studios of nashville to the world - renowned television production facilities of knoxville .
moreover , as the urban folk revival was petering out up north , more and more of its veterans were winding up in nashville . they found each other easily .
this movie tells the intersecting stories of various people connected to the music business in nashville . barbara jean is the reigning queen of nashville but is near collapse . linnea and delbert reese have a shaky marriage and 2 deaf children . opal is a british journalist touring the area . these and other stories come together in a dramatic climax .
i think that the power and the theme of the film lie in the fact that while some characters are more
major
than others , they are all subordinated to the music itself . it ' s like a river , running through the film , running through their life .
the film started about a year after the project had taken off . musicians in the film , among them john doe of x , victoria williams and ben vaughn , were shot specifically for the full - length feature that also includes visits with archivists , collectors and other presto enthusiasts .
when influential new yorker critic pauline kael first saw the film , she applauded altman ' s vision ,
i ' ve never before seen a movie i loved in quite this way .
her laudatory review , based on a screening of a pre - release version of the film , caused a minor flurry of controversy about critical responsibility and was not able to help the film out of its box - office doldrums . but despite its lack of popular success , nashville has since been heralded as one of director altman ' s finest films and one of the quintessential american movies of the 1970s .
nashville is about big people , little people , cycle freaks and groupies ; candidates , crackpots and lovers ; simple folk , crazy folk and chock - full of music .
if mccabe and mrs miller is altman’s poem to the weary travelers of the old west , then nashville is his ode to the losers and the dreamers of 1970’s america .

riddlehoover’s nashville films do depend on donors like californian david peters , who not only helped crowd fund paternity leave but also came to nashville for the entire filming . peters wasn’t above getting his hands dirty , either , and riddlehoover said , “he quickly became a part of the movie making family . he was there longer than most of the leads . ”
though it has politics at its center , nashville is also about things like the nature of success and celebrity in america ; the role of women in modern society ; and the changing face of that most american of musical genres , country - and - western . in all these areas , altman reflected the current mood so well that nashville is something of a time capsule . if someone wanted to re - create the mid - 1970s - - and i cannot imagine why they would - - nashville would be a good reference point .

i love this film festival . i have sadly missed it the last few years and am * really * looking forward to going again for 2018 .
“i want the festival to become one of the biggest film festivals in the world and we’re already getting there , ” crockett says of his goals .
beyond offending local listeners , this decision compounded umbrage at the film ' s portrayal of characters like haven hamilton . as played by gibson , the peacocking hamilton is the opry ' s senior statesman in the film , widely perceived to have been inspired by hank snow as well as the aging acuff .
robert altman ' s nashville is an explosive drama and a human comedy that delineates and interweaves the lives of 24 major characters during five days in the country music capital of the world . although its setting is tennessee , nashville is a much broader vision of our culture , a penetrating and multi - level portrait of america at a particular time and place .
robert altman made plenty of largely plotless films featuring sprawling ensemble casts , but 1975’s nashville , newly released on a dual dvd / blu - ray set by the criterion collection , is his most virtuosic juggling act . unfolding over five days and building , loosely , to an outdoor festival that doubles as a rally for a grassroots presidential candidate , the film features so many significant , memorable characters that just naming them all and drawing the connections between them would require a lengthy essay of its own . part of what makes nashville such a heady experience is the seemingly effortless way altman introduces each new thread of his immense tapestry , as his camera glides away from one prickly interaction to pick up somebody else who happens to be strolling by . altman keeps the baton - passing structure in play for the entire movie , which runs nearly three hours . saying that a film’s setting is “almost a character” has become a cliché , but nashville is about nashville itself , even if nashvillians didn’t see it that way at the time .

robert altman’s 1975 film nashville opens with an ad for itself . a fast - talking commercial heralds the main actors (
the amazing lily tomlin !
) , as though they were lots in an auction or artists on a k - tel compilation . in the background a group of album covers—all fictional , all from the movie—glide by on an endless loop . it’s a slyly disorienting opening sequence , dutifully listing the cast and director while blurring the line between fiction and reality . only after the film ( and the soundtrack ) have been advertised does nashville settle into the city proper , with the voice of fictional politician hal phillip walker taking over for the commercial barker .
nashville is , above all , a celebration of its own performers ,
film critic pauline kael wrote in her controversial new yorker review .
the actors have been encouraged to work up material for their roles , and not only do they do their own singing but most of them wrote their own songs—and wrote them in character .
in films like mash and the long goodbye , altman toyed with cast , often assigning roles counterintuitively and letting the actors improvise their own dialogue . in 1975 , nashville appeared to take that strategy even further by letting the actors devise their own music . most journalists and critics repeated kael’s assertion , creating a memorable myth around the film .

yet altman , who died in 2006 ( a prairie home companion was his last film ) never came close to matching mash ' s level of popular success . the second - highest - grossing film of his career was popeye ( 1980 ) , whose $ 50 million take would be $ 136 million in 2010 dollars - - and , what ' s more , that film is generally remembered now as a disastrous flop .

considered to be one of altman’s most accomplished feature , this explores the intersecting lives of various people connected to the music business in nashville . their stories tie together with a dramatic climax .
essentially ( and masterfully ) shot as a documentary , ' nashville ' uses comedy to disguise the characters ' profound sadness while painting an often times satirical but always poignant portrait of the
ideal
america . a heartbreaking film wrapped tidily with pageant - like bow - tie . not my favorite altman but an absolute masterclass in directing and producing .
i’ll let others battle over whether m * a * s * h or this sprawling satire is robert altman’s masterpiece . nashville has much in common with m * a * s * h , of course , from its acidic take on americana ( in this case , nashville’s country and gospel music scene ) to an unseen character who exists only as a voice over a loudspeaker .
the 2017 nashville film festival has officially come to an end after selecting its winners and honorees saturday . the rapidly growing competition received over 5 , 500 submissions this year , and 303 of those films and shorts were selected . “some freaks , ” a love story about an overweight girl and a boy with one eye , from director ian [ … ]
but nashville gets a good deal of credit . one of the downsides of being an independent filmmaker is a lack of resources . but , as tittle pointed out , “the scope of matt’s work is such that we can work on less . and people believe in his work , so resources become available . ” nashville has been generous , riddlehoover said , adding , “for this film i thought it would be hard to get locations we needed , a doctor’s office for instance , but in the end people offered everything we wanted and more !

scripted by a twenty - eight - year - old robert altman after a brief , frustrating sojourn in los angeles trying to find work as a hollywood screenwriter , corn’s - a - poppin’ is a zero - budget backstage musical that serves as an early example of altman’s fondness for musicians and performers as characters . the plot concerns the efforts to defend the pinwhistle popcorn hour—a down - home variety show with acts ranging from ex–hog - caller lillian gravelguard to hobie shepp and his cow town wranglers—from corporate sabotage engineered by a rogue pr man in his bid to gut the pinwhistle empire . shot in kansas city by a band of young talent schooled in the production techniques of the calvin company—the midwest’s most innovative industrial film studio— corn’s - a - poppin’ experienced extremely limited play at rural drive - ins and hootenannies before disappearing for decades . although altman would not direct his own feature for another year , this film looks forward to nashville and , even more uncannily , his last film , a prairie home companion , half a century later . restored by the northwest chicago film society in conjunction with the wisconsin center for film and theater research , with funding from the national film preservation foundation .

film editor neil travis , who won an oscar for his work on “ dances with wolves ” and an emmy for his work on the miniseries “roots , ” died of natural causes at his home in arroyo grande , calif . , on wednesday , march 28 . he was 75 .
herbert neil travis was born on 12th october 1936 and studied advertising and theatre arts at the university of california in his native los angeles . he began his career as an assistant editor at paramount studios in his early twenties , becoming second editor on a series of television shows for fox and in 1970 received his first credit as a film . . .
neil travis was an american film and television editor best known for the tv series roots ( 1977 ) and the film dances with wolves ( 1990 ) and had a credit of over 28 feature films . his other works include terminator 3 , along came a spider and stepmom . he had also won an oscar . he died on march 28 , 2012 .
neil travis , who won an oscar for best editing for dances with wolves , died march 28 of natural causes at his home in arroyo grande , calif . he was 75 . with a career that spanned more than four decades , the native angeleno began his entertainment business career as an assistant editor at paramount studios while he was in his early 20s . travis subsequently worked as a second editor for a fox television series and shortly was offered a position to help edit the traveling executioner . his tv work continued and in 1977 , travis won an emmy for his work on the groundbreaking miniseries roots . travis eventually edited more than 25 blockbuster features including no way out , patriot games , deceived , clear and present danger and terminator 3 : rise of the machines . in 2010 he received the american cinema editors career achievement award . travis is survived by his wife , ruth and two children , michael and michelle . services will be held in arroyo grande on may 12th . in lieu of flowers the family suggests donations to hospice partners of the central coast , ymca or boy scouts of america .
in addition to oscar best picture winner “ dances with wolves , ” travis edited films including “cocktail , ” “no way out , ” “patriot games , ” “clear and present danger” and “terminator 3 : rise of the machines . ”
in a 2010 interview with the archive of american television , travis explained his philosophy : “every movie is different ; you can’t apply the same rules , ” he said . “i don’t have editorial rules . i just approach everything as if it were brand new , the first piece of work i’ve ever done . ”
in addition to oscar best - picture winner dances with wolves ( 1990 ) , travis’ resumé includes the cowboys ( 1972 ) , hot stuff ( 1987 ) , no way out ( 1987 ) , cocktail ( 1988 ) , deceived ( 1991 ) , outbreak ( 1995 ) and terminator 3 : rise of the machines ( 2003 ) .
travis edited more than 25 films over the course of a career that spanned over four decades . he began in the entertainment business as an assistant editor at paramount studios in his early 20s , went on to work as a second editor for a fox television series ; soon thereafter , he helped edit his first feature , 1970’s “the traveling executioner . ”
during his four - decade career , travis also teamed with the directors phillip noyce on patriot games ( 1992 ) and clear and present danger ( 1994 ) , two films based on tom clancy novels ; with lee tamahori on the edge ( 1997 ) and along came a spider ( 2001 ) ; and with chris columbus on stepmon ( 1988 ) and bicentennial man ( 1999 ) .
besides the extended cut of the film , this two - disc special edition features two full - length audio commentaries that , all told , wind up providing eight hours of dances with wolves discussion . the first , with kevin costner and producer jim wilson , is the better of the two tracks . the duo talk about virtually everything : turning the novel into a screenplay , the hurdles encountered with undertaking such an enormous production , the cast and crew , the difficulties working as both a director and actor , and the film ' s success and accolades . if you can stand to hear costner ' s voice for nearly four straight hours , this track offers a comprehensive history of the film . the second commentary , with cinematographer dean semler and editor neil travis , is not nearly as compelling , but winds up providing a nice bit of background on the specific strategies used for shooting and cutting such a lengthy film . semler and travis have a tendency to go silent , but the information they provide is well worth a listen . also on disc 1 is the original 1990 promotional featurette the making of dances with wolves , which offers behind - the - scenes footage and generic interview soundbites , and a silly original music video for john barry ' s theme music .
his profile rose with work on kevin costner starrer “no way out”in 1987 , tom cruise starrer “cocktail” in 1988 and “dances with wolves , ” for which he won an oscar . travis edited the tom clancy adaptations “patriot games , ” “clear and present danger” and “the sum of all fears” ; the julia roberts - susan sarandon vehicle “stepmom” ; robin williams starrer “bicentennial man” ; and the morgan freeman thriller “along came a spider . ”
disc 2 ' s best extra is the new hour - and - a - half documentary the creation of an epic : a retrospective . the doc features recent interviews with everyone involved with the film - costner , wilson , author / screenwriter michael blake , semler , travis , mary mcdonnell , graham greene , as well as many crew members - and each contributes fond memories of working on the film . the documentary ' s general tone is one of subjective admiration , and the constant praise bestowed upon costner can drive one batty after a while , but the wealth of insightful anecdotes and production footage make it a worthy addition to this great disc . a photo montage features numerous production stills set to music , and a poster gallery , tv spots , and theatrical trailers ( for dances with wolves , windtalkers , and platoon ) round out this magnificent dvd release .
one of the most popular science communicators in the contemporary world , neil degrasse tyson is an american astrophysicist and cosmologist who served on the 12 - member commission that studied the future of the us aerospace industry in 2001 . as an astrophysicist his achievements are many but it is his works as a science communicator that has made him the widely popular name that he is today . he hosted ‘nova science now’ , an educational news magazine for a few years , helping disseminate scientific knowledge to the audience . over the years he went on to become a much loved science communicator , gaining fans not just in the united states , but from all over the world . tyson is not just a brilliant scientist , but also an awesome presenter . his vast knowledge in a variety of scientific fields , his sense of humor , rhetoric , and the manner in which he presents the shows adds to his mass appeal . the thousands of views his youtube videos garner is a proof of his ever growing popularity . he is particularly famous for his views on science and spirituality , a topic on which he has written numerous articles and given many speeches . as an african american he also has very strong views about racial equality and social justice .
early on in kevin costner’s dances with wolves , a disturbed military bigwig tells costner’s lt . john dunbar , “i have just pissed in my pants , and nobody can do anything about it . ” the same can be said about academy members in 1990 , who famously screwed martin scorsese out of the best director statuette for goodfellas in favor of costner’s proficient but overrated work ; 13 years after its original release , the film remains nothing more than a well - polished but generic example of epic hollywood filmmaking . the tale of lt . dunbar’s spiritual journey from disenchanted civil war soldier to revered member of the great plains sioux tribe is one that admirably forgoes demonization of the country’s original inhabitants in favor of a compassionate portrait of indigenous people attempting to survive the encroaching hordes of american settlers .
dunbar , electing to take a post in the middle of nowhere rather than continue to do battle with his fellow countrymen , finds himself surrounded by both the sioux and pawnee communities , neither of which is interested in accommodating white strangers—except , that is , for prescient sioux holy man kicking bird ( graham greene ) , who correctly surmises that a man stranded alone in the vast plains isn’t looking for a fight . soon , lonely dunbar is accepted by the native americans , dubbed dances with wolves ( for his friendship with a stray wolf ) and falls in love with a white woman named stands with a fist ( mary mcdonnell ) who had been kidnapped and raised by kicking bird as a child .
despite its empathy and respect for native americans , the film has very little going for it besides its admittedly majestic trappings . working with cinematographer dean semler on location throughout the american west , costner captures a dizzying array of gorgeous panoramic compositions that situate tiny silhouettes of humans amid expansive stretches of green fields and blue skies . what the first - time director doesn’t do , however , is infuse these images with any thematic weight or import—they are , in the end , just pretty landscape shots . unlike legendary western directors john ford or sergio leone , costner doesn’t intend for these snapshots of sprawling vistas to symbolize much of anything ( here , they’re just transitional devices or mere filler material ) , and thus the size and scale of the film , although logistically quite immense , seems , in terms of emotional resonance , to shrink before our eyes .
if the film’s visual splendor lacks profundity , costner does provide a handful of transcendent moments , the most spellbinding of which is dunbar’s participation in a sioux buffalo hunt . and i’d be remiss in not congratulating the actor - director for taking a leisurely , contemplative approach to a story that could have functioned as mere pretense for extravagant and indulgent open - field battle sequences ( a pitfall mel gibson would fail to avoid in 1995’s ponderous braveheart ) . it’s a laudable adventure that neither redefines nor simply mimics the genre’s storied conventions , a sturdy , mildly stirring revisionist cinematic portrayal of the american west as a place where manifest destiny meant not only modernity’s expansion , but also ancient cultures’ decimation . but time hasn’t changed the fact that scorsese remains a victim of grand theft oscar .
mgm ' s lavish dances with wolves : special edition features a new extended cut of the film , integrating 52 minutes of previously unseen footage into costner ' s already lengthy western opus . fortunately , viewers will have an extremely hard time recognizing the new from the old based solely on video quality . the 2 . 35 : 1 anamorphic widescreen transfer is an absolute stunner , with only two unimportant shortcomings : every once in a while , flesh tones seem a bit rosy , and the image has a tendency to appear a tad soft . otherwise , the picture exhibits fantastic color reproduction , rich black levels , impressive image detail , and wonderful contrast . ably matching this beautiful transfer is an immersive dolby digital 5 . 1 soundtrack that boasts a heavy amount of panning and imaging effects and some strong bass reproduction . john barry ' s sweeping score comes through with sharp and accurate fidelity , and dialogue - with a couple of exceptions - sounds perfectly natural .
